First, I do believe some muslim women wear it voluntarily. I have never denied it. However, there are also many muslim women who are intimidated by their muslim males to wear it involuntarily.
Second, about not buying oil from Saudi, well, how about modern world does not sell anything to Saudi? How does that sound? Do not over-estimate Saudi's power.
Third, about Gwadar port, if you are from Pakistan, you should appreciate China's selfless help towards Pakistan. China has done far more for Pakistan than the other way around. BTW, how much do we ask you for return? Considering what U.S. has asked for Pakistan for return when U.S. gives anything to Pakistan, China is far more generous. Pakistan need China far more than China need Pakistan.
Fourth, I do not interfere with your religion. What you practice behind your door, it is none of my business if it does not hurt any people including women as well. However, in western countries, or any other non religious countries, your religion does need obey the law within each country. Your religion is smaller compared with the state power. We do not care whoever your god is. When the law asks you to take that burqa off, you have to take it off.
China indeed has common interest with muslim countries in many levels. However, that does not make we have to listen to those nonsense practised in certain muslim countries including forcing women to wear burqa and etc, taking away women's equal rights, practising honor killing and harboring those rapists, killing those who want to leave islam and convert to other religions, practicing those brutal circumcision on virgin women and etc.
The government may tolerate in certain sense but in civilian level, I do have to express my disgust over those brutal backward practices in certain muslim countries.
BTW, none of the muslims here seem to like to answer my questions posted earlier:
What if a muslim woman refuses to wear burka or hijab??? Will she be not bothered/harmed by any muslim men?
What if a muslim woman/man wants to leave islam and converts to another religion? Can she/he do that freely without being harmed?
What if a muslim woman wants to work and have equal rights as man??? Will she be granted such rights?
In the end, for those who question whether I am Chinese, I am 100% Chinese from Northeast China.
How old are you ? 12? Didn't the other Muslims on this forum not say that those women protesting against the ban are wearing the veil by choice NOT by force?
Bi-directional trade is not the issue. I was simply pointing out that since you clearly have negative view towards Islamic law maybe you should buy your oil from elsewhere and not have to deal with Saudi Arabia at all. Moreover, your country is interested in investing in Gwadar port so it can have access to the Middle East (all those fundis!!!)
Lastly, you have no right to interfere in our religion and tell us how we should practice it... If you don't like the hijab, niqab, etc DO NOT do business with Muslim countries and go f8ck yourself. However, keep in mind, in this world split between the East and West, the natural allies of China will be Muslims.
