The battle over the protest song 'Glory to Hong Kong' has ignited a fierce international dispute, with Beijing expressing strong dissatisfaction over the US labeling the ban as a blow to the city's judicial independence. Hong Kong's government recently secured approval to ban the song, prompting Western Big Tech companies to face scrutiny for their compliance with the ban.

An appeals court in Hong Kong reinforced the ban on 'Glory to Hong Kong', deeming it a 'weapon' in the pro-democracy movement.
