According to the report, the Hong Kong Garrison posted a video of about 2 minutes on its social networking service (SNS) Weibo account that morning. The video showed about 70 honor guards from the army, navy, and air force branches of the Hong Kong Garrison marching from the headquarters building in Central, the heart of Hong Kong, to a military zone on the coast about 100 meters away, where they raised the Chinese national flag.

In the video, more than 100 military officers participating in the flag-raising ceremony also sang the national anthem together. Feng Jingtang, commander of the Hong Kong Garrison, issued a statement that day saying, "The garrison will join hands with all sectors of Hong Kong society to safeguard national security and Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability, and make greater contributions to the stable and long-term development of 'one country, two systems.'"
