A draft law banning speech and dressing “detrimental to the spirit of Chinese people” has sparked debate in China.
If the law comes into force, people found guilty could be fined or jailed but the proposal does not yet spell out what constitutes a violation.
Social media users and legal experts have called for more clarity to avoid excessive enforcement.
China recently released a swathe of proposed changes to its public security laws - the first reforms in decades.
The clothing law has drawn immediate reaction from the public - with many online criticising it as excessive and absurd.
The contentious clauses suggest that people who wear or force others to wear clothing and symbols that “undermine the spirit or hurt the feelings of the Chinese nation” could be detained for up to 15 days and fined up to 5,000 yuan ($680; £550).
that means you can’t wear Japanese flag or symbols
poor fascists, can’t even wear fascist clothing, where is the freedom of speech? 😥 /s
lol reminds me of last year’s case where some Japanese worshipping dog decided to parade around in a Kimono on the same day of mourning as the Nanking Massacre. Western media of course only mentioned the authoritarian sisipee now allowing wholesome Japanese stuff to be worn on a day of mourning.
Would someone be so kind and link an official Chinese statement for context?
The Guardian cites a Weibo post at this URL by Beijing News Radio, but I was unable to independently verify it.
It allegedly references this “taken down” criticism (in Chinese).
It says “No Viewing Privileges” on the weibo link, could you copy and paste pls?
I’m unable to view either, but I found this article that might interest you:
Does the BBC take what is on the Internet in China as public opinion again?
There isn’t even a source lol

いいえ、アメリカ人ですが、日本語の勉強しています。
Sounds like laws they already have in the UK.
