Shame on Xi Jinping and Chinese for promoting Western culture. Xi needs to dress like this if he wants to be taken as seriously as our Imran Khan.

If it makes you feel better bro you should wear tops and tails. Why are you always so anti people wearing traditional clothes? At the same time your also pro establishing a Pakistani brand.

The way you dress does not impact your effectiveness. Unless you're doing something that requires you to dress a certain way out of practicality.

That is subjective and anyway I thought this is about taking pride in our culture unlike the inferiorty ridden, backward, western licking Chinese. Imran needs to tell Xi to grow a pair and take pride in being Chinese and not act as slave of the west.

Just because we have to beg for western dollars at IMF and practically import everytrhing to live a modern life does not mean one should not take pride in a bankrupt, violent, lawless, poverty stricken society literally drowning in rubbish and polluted water.

All can be plasterd over with clothing ..... !

pro establishing a Pakistani brand

Cars, food, agri products, educated scientific pool to dazzle the world, sports champions that gouge Olympic medals etc. That is what puts vale on brands. If leaders dressed in their garb was of any import Xi Jinping would the first to strut tradional clothing.

Instead this is left to banana countries like in Africa who have nothing else to tout.

Just to be sure people should understand that until early part of the last century most of Pakistan's antecedents wore nothing but a loose cloth wrapped around their balls with most of the upper torso naked. Only in the westerly regions or northern fringe was Shalwar Kameez the standard dress. Even today many Pakistani's like to dress in Kurta and a tight Gandu like pyjamas that are more like leotards - the type that Modi likes wearing.

What is cultural dress is emphatically a moving target!

Not correct. There old photographs that indicate to the contrary.

I agree and it will move with time. I think it already has. Lots of people wear trousers, jeans, shirts etc. Let it continue to evolve.

I'm not choosing salwar kameez as a hill to die on - I'm just anti the idea of formal wear at work. I've always felt it a little "extra". It's a personality quirk I guess. There is no right or wrong answer.

Did the anglo saxons wore tuxedos one thousand years in the past?, just like the west our culture is what we state it to be.

this is the rural, informal dress of South, central Punjab for example - Pic of Mirzah Sahiba (people always wore a kameez, same style for 100s of years)

A bit more formal from horse begging competitions of Punjab

Abdus Salam wearing proper Punjabi formal dress for Noble prize ceremony to pay homage to his roots

So yes he is wearing traditional dress of Pakistan but specifically of Potohar, hindko and KP regions of Pakistan not representative of all of Pakistan

Something similar happened in China

This was a manchu dress that internationally was considered standard Chinese dress, in Hollywood and by even state presidents as you can see

but after this event it started a hanfu dress movement that tried to push back against this narrative because most of Chinas traditional clothing was hanfu not maanchu

(A chines' can correct me if I am wrong as I saw a western documentary on this issue and that is my only source)
But here in Pakistan I dont see anyone pushing back except for Afghan nationalist calling out Pakistanis for stealing their culture
as Zaradari also wore Sindhi topi, ajrak etc as president and it was also considered traditional Pakistani dressing just like this is considered traditional Pakistani dressing
