DBWI: Short Hair being the norm in China, instead of Long Hair

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, it was said that many Chinese men wanted to cut their Queue pigtails and adapt short hair typical of Western Men.

But then, Sun Yat Sen writes something about returning to proper Han and Confucian tradition, and advise Chinese men to wear their hair long. Some did keep their hairstyle short, but then, with most of the short-haired Chinese men being associated to Mao and the Communists, short hair quickly fell out of Fashion in China and most men now keep their hair long.

Now, what if Sun Yat Sen actually ordered the men to cut their Manchu-imposed queue and put Western-style Short Hair instead? How would Chinese history of 20th and 21st century changed with Short Hair being the norm instead of an exception among Chinese Men?

OOC:
Come on, this is about alternate China who end up returning to Confucian norms (and Glorious Han culture of the past) instead of adopting either Westernization or Communism, up to and including venerating one's own body given by our parents, and thus including keeping hair long and well-ordered.
 
Well you can bet they'd be back in Western supplied opium dens and destroying their body with piercings and tattoos like you see in Red Nusantara [Indonesia]. Look at how tobacco and alcohol ravage those outside the heavenly kingdom, it's no wonder we have the lowest obesity rate.

Ah yes, the mandatory capital punishment on Drugs and Tobacco, all while putting the legal drinking age to 24 years old and only permitting traditional Chinese alcoholic drinks most of the time.

Sure, the alcohol restrictions is something understandable, and drunkenness due to traditional drinks are somewhat tolerated with only whippings being the punishment, but the total ban on Tobacco, many foreigners end up incidentally facing death penalty when they inadvertently carry a pack of cigarettes into China proper.

It's the risk they take, they should be happy the great Emperor allows them in at all. Though I've seen a few foreigners get away with it, not a lot of people want to cause an international incident, and there's not much point since most of them don't care at all about their body.

Just another reason they should be banned I don't know why they're allowed in at all, one only needs to look at the state of Japan to see how far one can fall from Confucianism when you start falling to liberalism, it's practically anarchy.
