Disney is under fire for filming part of its live-action reboot “Mulan” in Xinjiang, the region in China where the government has been accused of human rights abuses against Uighurs and other predominantly Muslim minorities.

, according to director Niki Caro’s Instagram posts. The movie has been partially filmed in New Zealand as well.The film, which is a remake of the popular 1998 animation, is based on the ancient Chinese tale of Hua Mulan, a young woman who takes her father’s place in the army by dressing as a man.

“I can’t speak for what Yifei says in China, we didn’t know about it, what she was going to say, and that’s up to them,” he said during a roundtable session with other entertainment executives including from Netflix and Warner Brothers. after having to close theme parks temporarily and cancel theatrical releases because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“The hypocrisy is just too amazing to fathom,” he said of filming in the same region as the camps and where the Uighur population is oppressed.

Disgusting

BoycottMulan filmed by Disney in Xinjiang, China were Uyghurs are held for slave labor in Chinese concentration camps!

people should understand what is happening in xj before watching BoycottMulan

ohnolny BoycottMulan to show you condemn concentration camp, force labour, organ harvesting and force marriage

Oh my... It's a fake news. It has been debunked so many times that I really don't know how someone still buy it... Do some research.

Here we come the American propagandist. Xinjiang next to Afghanistan where Americans fought a long lasting war there and supported local terrorists group and shifted some of them to Xinjiang to destabilise China! Americans are the biggest terrorist state

toufuckcaogai Going to Disney to eliminate it is to help the dictatorship suppress Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet

You know if Tom Cotton doesn't go for it there is an alternate motive. Like China, not Russia going on for Trump & the GOP. Tom thinks lots of groups are addicts.

Is this a case of guilt by association or is Disney going out of bounds for using a place with no American restrictions on them at the time for movie making. Better check all the Great Wall movies. Maybe Jackie Chan movies. GOP China-bashing?

And the problem is?

BoycottMulan Tseung Kwan O: Mulan shot teargas at student who then fell off car park and died. Sai Wan Ho: Mulan shot youngsters with live ammo. Wan Chai: Mulan blinded foreign journo with rubber bullet. Yau Ma Tei: Mulan rammed vans into crowd. ... BoycottDisney

Walt is turning over in his grave! His dreams and legacy destroyed by the desire of the all mighty dollar !

“ accused” ? one million people are in concentration camps, women are forcibly sterilized for genicide.

No one wants to see a Disney film where the real person playing the star of the film is in real life the direct opposite of the person she is supposed to be. The star Liu

Disney could care less what anyone thinks unless you stop giving them money

BoycottMulan

It's disgusting for Disney to make a propaganda film for CCP China and even filmed in Xinjiang where thousands of Uyghurs are deprived of their rights and freedoms by the authoritarian govt. BoycottMulan

Mulan is NOT as good as the Animated version. Just like real life in Xinziang is NOT.

My teenage daughter loved the animated Mulan. She informed me months ago that we will not be watching the movie for this reason.

The right wing Republicans have to get over this paranoia of Communist China. They need a boogeyman, and China is it, and not by accident. China’s international market share and military power has steadily increased over the past 10 years. We need better leadership, not excuses.

Walt Disney is rolling in his cryo-tube MaoTseMouse

Let's ask the victims how they feel? It is clearly ok to abuse these people and torture them. Take a stand against these terrorists of human rights. DisneyPlus China

Get a life people. Seriously...

Value vs Money Disney: 💰💰💰

Liberals don't actually care about anything. It's all pretend, just like the movie.

Yikes

DO NOT TRUST YOUR CHILDREN TO DISNEY!

Maybe we should think of it differently. Filming there gives them a glimpse of freedom and culture. We can't always see the glass half empty. Exposure to the world outside of China--and a way to connect--is a good thing.

The Indians are dying out

The “One-Child Policy” is implemented throughout China——Associated Press: Xinjiang Uyghurs are forced to have only one child.

“accused of”

cancel culture is onto movies...

mulan is saying thank you to authorities that turn females to sex slaves. Is that Mulan spirit?

Lol who’s naive enough to think this companies care about human rights?

What an irony, the place built for children decides giving life to the unborn is not good?! Isn’t that counterintuitive? What’s happening to these CEO’s and their values?!

Who cares

Disney was OKAY with filming a movie in an area they KNEW had a concentration camp.

If not for the hypocrisy of these left leaning corporations this would not be news. If you are going to call out states for their abortion policies and claim they will not film there yet you can film in China knowing of their widespread abuses of human rights, expect the backlash

Mulan gave me several uncomfortable cognitive dissonances, on one hand was Mulan promoting virtues and on the other were the thoughts of the real world, images of suppression, conformity, reprogramming, atrocities the minorities are forced to endure

They filmed in the USA where Native Americans are kept on isolated lots of land. Where slaves were held and killed.

Boo fucking who muslims commit atrocities all the fucking time! Just look what happens to gay people in Iran and Saudi Arabia!

Who cares!! China infected the world with coronavirus and some of y’all mad about the Mulan movie? 😒

F Disney F the NBA

Unfortunately, this is the way it rolls with many multinational corporations based in the U.S. The Executives enjoy the freedoms, perks, and protections of America, but make their profits from Totalitarian, Marxist slave states like China.

All bullsht. Already proven false by investigations. 12 UN diplomats visit Xinjiang in 2018 - debunked U.S. accusations World Bank Investigates Xinjiang Pakistan Diplomat Investigates Xinjiang

The Chinese government let a Disney crew waltz through the province to shoot a family movie. Pretty much anyone else can go and have a look for themselves. This does not match a scenario of extensive abuse.

President Donald J Trump was nominated for the NOBLE PEACE PRIZE! Go Trump 2020

Money money money...

As they should be. We all know Disney has a thing for concentration camps though so we shouldn’t be surprised.

What about Nike? Nike NikeNYC who deals in China? KingJames what about China? NBA Hypocrites

They wouldn’t film in Georgia bc of its efforts to protect the unborn. Concentration camps, Muslim slaves? That’s cool.

They thanked the forced labour camp guards in the credits for the movie. Didn't thank the Uigher slaves inside though...Shame on you Disney

Do not let your children see Mulan. And tell them exactly why. They will live. Use this opportunity to teach them character, morality, integrity and responsibility for the choices they make. It’s not hard. It’s your job to shape their character. This is an easy one CancelDisney

Agreed. Not cool. Devil’s advocate says, no film should be made in the U.S...kinda like ever again. No? Just sayin. Indigenous ppl, African American just to name two groups of ppl whose human rights have been trashed in a place.

It's a little worse than that, AP. Having a hard time defending Disney? They LEFT filming in Georgia because of Heartbeat bill, and went to CCP which had 'one Child policy', to film in Xinjiang, where 'slaves pickin' cotton' is okay for Nike and others.

Disney Helping to fund Communist Party of China concentration camps for Muslims seems off brand for a company that uses the tagline “The Happiest Place on Earth.”

But Disney was all set to take a moral stand and not film in Georgia b/c of their pro-life law. A region w/ concentration camps for Uighurs is cool w/ Disney.

Welcome to the PC World, Disney

Aren’t Disney movies banned in China ?

It's a fictional movie😆😂🤣 they wanted the scenry. People just like to cry & bitch over to say they made a difference 🤮🤮🤮 Disney did nothing wrong here 💯

This region is a massive area.. Although surely if they're under fire for that they'd be under fire for filming anything in China? It's not like the provincial govt is calling the shots..

Disney and Chinese money. Surprised? Don't be

MSM in denial about what is actually going on in Communist China.

Without the cooperation of Beijing's propaganda, they would not get a filming permit in their executive area.

And that’s why we’re not watching.

Disney is anti American. Walt Disney creates a evil monster and didn’t even know it.

Yes, some idiots accused the government.

Just that one region, huh?
