A controversy arose in Mainland China where a new way of wearing the iconic red scarf of the Young Pioneers organization circulated online, resembling a shawl and criticized as 'Japanese-style'. In response, an official video was released by the National Committee of the Communist Youth League of China, clarifying that there are specific guidelines on how the red scarf should be worn but without rigid requirements on folding or tucking it under the collar. Various opinions and criticisms from netizens and public figures followed, with calls for preserving traditional wearing methods and avoiding politicization of the issue.
