The government announced last month that the government had purchased the broadcasting rights for the Tokyo Olympics, and the five TV stations including TVB, ViuTV, Hong Kong Kai TV, Cable TV, and NowTV would broadcast the games. The TV stations must meet certain conditions, including broadcasting all Hong Kong athletes participating in the games.
At the meeting of the Home Affairs Committee of the Legislative Council, a number of legislators reiterated that the 3 Hong Kong women's foil players raised the "May 1" hand gesture during the competition in 2019, and they were concerned about any Hong Kong athletes who acted against the government during the Tokyo Olympics , What will the government do?
The Secretary for Home Affairs Xu Yingwei emphasized that most athletes are very professional and I believe they understand that sports and politics should be separated.
Sports Commissioner Yang Deqiang added that athletes need to read the guidelines before departure, stating that they should not bring political information into the stadium, express political demands, and violate the guidelines or result in suspension and other penalties.
The establishment member Junyao Ho is concerned about whether the government will require athletes to sign a letter of commitment before departure to ensure that they will not engage in anti-government behavior during the competition.
Xu Yingwei responded that athletes must read the guidelines before starting. If they violate the guidelines or result in suspension, he also mentioned that in the past, in football matches, fans booed the national anthem and the FA was fined by FIFA. I believe the existing mechanism can handle it.
In their speeches, DAB Liang Zhixiang and New Democratic Party Rong Haien mentioned that three Hong Kong women's foil players raised 5 fingers on their left hand and raised their right hand during the 2019 Women's Foil World Cup Egypt. The index finger means "five demands, one is indispensable."
Rong Haien is concerned about whether the three players have been punished. Yang Deqiang responded that there is no information in hand. Xu Yingwei later added that the three players are no longer on the roster for this competition.
When the three Hong Kong women's foil players played in the Women's Foil World Cup Egypt in 2019, they raised 5 fingers in their left hand and index finger in their right hand during the match, which means "the five major demands are indispensable".

The DAB Zheng Yongshun is concerned about the government's arrangements to protect the health of the TV crews in Japan. Xu Yingwei responded that the government is currently discussing and stressing that the local arrangements must be followed. As for whether the athletes can shorten the compulsory quarantine arrangement after returning to Hong Kong, he only It is said that more than 90% of sports have been vaccinated, and the bureau needs to discuss with other policy bureaus. At present, if athletes have received two injections, they must be quarantined for "14+7" days after returning to Hong Kong.
Lu Songxiong of the Federation of Trade Unions believes that the government should require television stations to broadcast a certain number of national team events. This is a matter of principle. Because "the national team is their own athletes," Xu Yingwei pointed out that the government only requires television stations to broadcast all Hong Kong athletes participating in the competition. He believes that in some of the national team matches that have been smashed, "the government will definitely broadcast it if it doesn't broadcast it. If it doesn't broadcast the women's volleyball team, it would be trashing its own rice."
Xu Yingwei also revealed that the government will arrange for some events to be broadcast at the LCSD venues.

Some Members are also concerned about the role of Radio Television Hong Kong in this competition. The Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong, Leung Chi-cheung, said that Radio Television Hong Kong is different from the past and believes that support should be given.
