Opposition politicians warn the Hong Kong government risks fuelling anger in the city with the national anthem bill. HONG KONG: Hong Kong's government risks reigniting last year's political unrest by pushing ahead with a controversial bill outlawing insults to China's national anthem, opposition lawmakers said on Tuesday .
But opposition figures said such a move would inflame anger in a city still splintered by divisions after last year's protests. Next month marks the first anniversary of the start of the huge demonstrations that convulsed Hong Kong and soon morphed into weekly battles between police and protesters. Mass arrests and the coronavirus pandemic ushered in four months of enforced calm but small protests have bubbled up in the last fortnight as the city makes impressive headway against the virus and eases social distancing measures.
