"There is no ban on Uygur dress, police deputy says at congress | South China Morning Post"
Just "discouragement", they say. Interesting how things are looked at in different places around the world, comparing one government and tradition with another.But Kurex Kanjir, a Uygur who is also a member of the Xinjiang delegation to the Communist Party's 18th national congress, said there was "absolutely no ban" on Uygurs wearing traditional Islamic dress.. . .
"We have never said people cannot wear traditional ethnic dress," Kurex Kanjir said on the sidelines of the congress on Sunday. "But we are now in a civilised society and we hope to use modern culture to guide a somehow backward culture. It is something not to be forced, but something to be achieved through guidance."The differences in the region have led to physical violence. I always find that result amazing. This is how it is in another part of the world.
