If you were to ask why most Chinese officials wear Western suits instead of a Tang suit or Tang Zhuang, many would be left speechless. Please don’t read too much into any political understatement of our official dress code but this topic has been ignored since the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976. This discussion aims to resume our deep national identity. But we have to be careful not to be labeled a nationalist or being assertive due to Western-centric and ideological lens.
