The author is Indonesian and the name is not Chinese name.
The second link is from Malay people. Chinese ethics obviously don't have opinion on these. Why they care?
But that's doesn't matter and you are talking different things again.
I have not opinion what your woman want to wear.
I just pointed out wearing Hijab is a recent thing - started from 90s with Arab's religion push globally.
No one/many wear hijab outside of Arab before.
Traditional Uyghur headscarf is like this:

Traditional Hui Muslim headscarf:

Whether you prefer traditional headscarf or Hijab is out of context.
Also as point out by @S10 and @beijingwalker , seems hijab is not banned in whole China, only banned in Xinjiang due to extremist/separatist movement(I'm not sure about this as well, as I last saw the news is "new law" ban hijab in public service org and government in Xinjiang).
The author is Chinese Indonesian and once again she is not dare writing it in Indonesian publication since the publication that you mentioned is owned by Malaysian (most probably by Chinese Malaysian)
Soe Tjen Marching
Most probably not Muslim since Muslim within Chinese Indonesian community is only less than 5 %
It shows that only non Muslim minority who may have an issue with the trend while 88 % of Indonesian population who are Muslim dont have any problem with this recent phenomena.
The rapid increase of women wearing hijab in Indonesia doesnt have any relation with Saudi influent since almost 90 % Muslim Indonesian follow Muhammadiyah and Nahdatul Ulama (two largest Muslim organization in Indonesia that were born before Saudi was even created) in term of the teaching of Islam. Popular private own Television and radios who are owned by Muslim entrepreneurs since 1990 until now can become the main factor that increase Islamization among Muslim Indonesian.
Let alone after we gain democracy in 1998, almost all Education Ministers are held by Muhammadiyah activist, except for this 2019-2024 period where Nadiem Makarim, Gojek founder, become our Education Minister.
Saudi type of Islam interpretation is more strict and although it get bigger influence among the Muslim now but pretty much it is still very minority.
Some Saudi type of Islam ( I dont mind personally since we have freedom of expression here) should be like this and indeed it has penetrated even high government official families.
Wiranto (Former Armed Force Chief and Security Minister since Megawati, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, until Jokowi first term) and his family. You can see one of the girl wearing some sort of burkha there is his own daughter.
Another high official with very conservative wife
