Google has refused to change its search results to display China's national anthem, rather than a protest song, when users search for Hong Kong's national anthem, the city's security chief said on Monday, expressing 'great regret' at the decision.

"Glory to Hong Kong" was written in 2019, just as Hong Kong's protests erupted against China's tightening control over the city, and was considered by many demonstrators in the former British colony to be their national anthem. The Asia Rugby Association blamed "a simple human error" of playing a song downloaded from the internet instead of the correct anthem. The top search term on Google for Hong Kong's anthem is "Glory to Hong Kong".
