The Yining Government just released a plan of action that targets beard and burka-wearers across the municipality. The plan calls for a house-to-house search for any bearded men or women wearing non-revealing clothing and then ordering them to shave and strip. Disobedience will be met with prison terms.

Weibo netizens derided the plan, for the most part, but after posting reached 2000 comments, it was taken down … in the name of harmony.
Below, the plan in Chinese with especially inflammatory parts circled in red:
