How was the 2019 protest anthem composed? Why is it controversial? Is Glory to Hong Kong banned already? And does the city risk China-style internet censorship?

You know it's effective when they hate it so much

I don’t think that there’s a risk of a China-style internet censorship. It seems pretty inevitable at this point.

Good bye Asian financial capital (arguably already happened), goodbye business, goodbye talent, good bye the imperfect HK we loved. Fairwell to an openminded China. Fair well to the incredibly important window into the mainland, and The promise of a better China resulting in a better world. Authoritarians ruin everything eventually in the paranoid pursuit of their own power and enrichment. Congratulations to the lonely king standing ontop of a burnt out pile of ashes.
