Xinjiang is the homeland of Uighurs, a mainly Muslim population who claim they are facing discrimination.

The rule further states that, public workers in places such as Airports, Stations are to discourage those who fully cover their bodies, including veiling their faces, from gaining entrance and to report them to the police.
