You can find it on iTunes and YouTube, but the government in Hong Kong would like to erase the song “Glory to Hong Kong” from the internet — and from everywhere else, for that matter. The protest song urges Hong Kongers — in their native Cantonese language — to rise up and “liberate” the territory. Now, the Hong Kong government, which takes its orders from Beijing, wants to ban the song. And it’s pushing for Google, Facebook and Twitter to help out. Host Marco Werman speaks with The World’s Patrick Winn.
