Hong Kong soccer fans jeer anthem ahead of China match
BUSAN, South Korea - Hong Kong football fans booed as the Chinese national anthem was played on Wednesday before their team’s clash with China in South Korea as the political turmoil that has gripped the former British colony spilled over to the sports world.
China rejects the suggestion it is interfering in Hong Kong, and blames Western countries for inciting the trouble. The Chinese players, dressed in yellow, faced their flag and belted out the anthem as it was being played, while boos rang out from the Hong Kong fans. When Chinese player Ji Xiang scored the first goal in the ninth minute, the Hong Kong fans booed and shouted in English: “Let’s go Hong Kong, let’s go!”
