This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 74%. (I'm a bot)

> The government has asked a search engine to pin the correct information about the national anthem at the top of their search results, the Innovation, Technology and industry Bureau confirmed to HKFP on Friday.

> It came after "Glory to Hong Kong" - a tune popular among the city's pro-democracy protesters in 2019 - was heard at South Korea's Rugby Sevens instead of the Chinese national anthem "March of the Volunteers." The November 13 match was between Hong Kong and South Korea.

> In response to HKFP's enquiries, the bureau said that the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer has been in close contact with a internet search engine's Hong Kong branch since last week, as a song "Closely related to the black-clad violence in 2019 and protests advocating for Hong Kong's independence" had appeared in top results when searching for keywords related to "Hong Kong" and "National anthem."

It is bad for search engines to assume and obscure information. There are lots of multiple national anthems. You may mean Official Government's Country Anthem of Year XXXX
