A draft law sparks debate with locals calling it excessive and questioning how it would be enforced.

I can't wait to see how that law will be interpreted! I guess they ban Winnie the Pooh T-shirts.
Protesters will have to move down the ladder even further by breathing in a seditious manner, before they ban that too.
Fuck the CCP
Using Winnie the poo’s dick
China is the Steven Segal of countries, a giant fat pussy.
Nations don't have feelings!
Well, I better not go there with a West Taiwan shirt anytime soon.
Disappearing like I'm part of a private magic show run by Jeffrey Dahmer most certainly isn't on my bucket list.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A draft law banning speech and dressing "detrimental to the spirit of Chinese people" has sparked debate in China.
The proposed legal changes also forbid "insulting, slandering or otherwise infringing upon the names of local heroes and martyrs" as well as vandalism of their memorial statues.
Would its presence in China also count as hurting national feelings," one user posted on Chinese Twitter-like platform Weibo.
She cited one case that drew headlines in China last year where a kimono-clad woman was detained in the city of Suzhou and accused of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" because she had worn the Japanese garment.
In March this year, police detained a woman donning a replica of a Japanese military uniform at a night market.
And earlier last month, people who wore rainbow print clothing were denied entry to a concert by Taiwanese singer Chang Hui-mei in Beijing.
The original article contains 520 words, the summary contains 145 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
So... Red T-shirt with yellow pants?
I wonder if they know how lame this sounds translated to English.
I love how suxbears regard China as this perfect incredibly strong world power and china's all like "your shirt makes me cry and piss myself, if you wear that again I'll have to gulag you and give you the wall."
Wow such a strong government 😆
And you believe in every single piece of propaganda you see online LOL
Yep, every single one. I don't believe in hyperbole or sarcasm.
Also, Donald Trump is a communist.
Nice account, so shiny and fresh.
Maybe
Chinathe CCP should stop being a pussy.*CCP
That's fair.
Lol. Source: I made it the fuck up
It's real. The party's own newspaper is reporting on the objections to it during this "soliciting feedback" phase of legislating.
Edit: Actually, it's more of an affiliate of the party's official newspaper.
What is the difference between this and what the french do?
The french have banned all religious iconography from educational institutions. Simple separation of church and state. This is different, and it's kind of obvious.
I'm from France so I can step in here. He's actually talking about the recent ban on the abaya, a long dress that's trending in the middle east and that some women recently started wearing here. Nothing to do with religions.
Also, the ban concerns school students, not government employees such as teachers. So even if the dress was religious, the ban wouldn't be because of "laïcité" (separation of church and state).
Actually, it would be a breach of the principle of "laïcité", because the state shouldn't be able to decide how the citizens can practice their religion. You can't have a separation of church and state, and at the same time a state that mandates which religions are good and which aren't.
One is enforced countrywide under a vague law open for interpretation.
Other is for school children on school premises, clearly stating the articles of clothing not allowed.
There isn't, both are plain old systemic oppression (generally mostly misogyny and/or queerphobia) disguised as "concern for the population", there to control and further marginalise.
(though, of course, fans of both China and France and/or haters of women, queers, and/or Muslims, would die on this hill trying to convince themselves otherwise)
