A competition designed to promote unity among China’s different ethnic groups has become embroiled in controversy after some of the competitors wore traditional Islamic clothing to the event.
The Go tournament – a traditional Chinese board game also known as Weiqi – in Quzhou, a city in Zhejiang province, was designed to promote “participation and communication” among the members of China’s 56 designated ethnic minority groups.
The competition, organised by the Chinese Weiqi Association and various other groups, also featured a relay in which competitors took it in turns to move a piece as a symbol of cooperation between all the different ethnic groups.
