Hong Kong's Legislative Council passed a bill on Thursday that would criminalize①disrespect of China's national anthem②.The Bill was passed with 41 in favour and one against. The Bill allows for punishment of those who insult the anthem with up to three years jail and/or fines of up to HK$50,000 ($6,450).

中国香港特区立法会6月4日通过了一项法案，该法案将不尊重中国国歌行为列为刑事犯罪。法案以41票赞成、1票反对获得通过。对那些侮辱国歌的人，依据该法案可处以最高三年监禁及（或）最高5万港元（6450美元）罚款。

It states that “all individuals and organisations” should respect and dignify the national anthem and play it and sing it on “appropriate occasions”. Chinese authorities and the Beijing-backed government in Hong Kong say there is no threat to the city's high degree of autonomy and the new security law would be tightly focused.

法案指出，“所有个人和组织”应尊重并维护国歌尊严，应在“适当场合”演奏、演唱国歌。中国中央政府和香港特区政府均表示，这项法案对香港的高度自治没有任何影响，新的安全法将严格执行。汇丰银行6月3日就表示支持该法案在香港实施。
