Aren't there human rights abuses in the U.S. and film studios take their tax credits all day, every day.

Shame on Disney

'Alleged' KKKKKKKKKK there is evidence of concentration camps

and what about america (and NATO) for destroying the countries and killing people in middle east, africa, afghaisntan,Palestine ?

UyghurHolocaust accomplice Disney, knowingly cooperating with CCP. Do they think they could get away with this extent of atrocities? BoycottMulan

If you don’t have the exact number of Uighurs detained in the ConcentrationCamps, let me tell you, it’s close to 2.2million as of today.

it is not interesting and they are very tiring.

Disney betrays US spirit!

More reason to BoycottMulan. StandWithUyghurs, no more human right abuses in EastTurkestan

They’re not ‘alleged’ there’s plenty of evidence. That’s like saying ‘the alleged Holocaust’ Shameful. Get your act together adrianzenz

Will there be a new Mulan ride at DisneyParks with a concentration camp and forced labour factories?

Well China is one of the worst countries in the world, soooo

SpookyAmorox We love to see it

This isn't about what happened in the past there...it's about what is actually happening right now, as we speak. People are suffering, and human rights are being violated, all while they shot this crappy movie.

God dame this film some how gets worse every day

FBI must investigate

I am going to boycott the movie. I was going to watch it but not now. I am spreading on Social Media and my friends and family not to watch it.

noozbot BoycottMulan Mulan

PragObots A complete shitshow How do you fuck up mulan?

BoycottMulan

Disney has sold its body n soul to the devil just like many others! BoycottMulan,BoycottDisney if u care for humanity, human rights n human lives !

Jesus Christ,...

Probably shouldn't have thanked the government that's doing it in the credits.

So dystopian that Disney will likely fly under the radar with this one. It’s so OUT there that most aren’t gonna wrap their heads around it.

'alleged'

BoycottMulan

MagdalenaDK Don’t forget amazing thread as well.

Here is the evidence : Disney's Mulan film credits include a special thank you to the Turpan Public Security Bureau (PSB), where a Uyghur region with Uyghur Concentration camp. BoycottMulan StandWithUyghurs StandWithHongKong

This whole movie was a disaster and not once did Disney think that maybe we shouldn't do this movie.

Boycott this movie. The actress and some other actors are pro-police brutality

Honestly, this movie has had so many issues, no one is watching it. I'll stick with the OG version

Not just BoycottMulan we should also boycott any parties who violate the human rights BoycottCCP

Uyghur is a just a west propaganda expect few unsourced video there is no evidence of reality of Uyghur muslim 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

So other than having a Mulan who supported police brutality, Disney also filmed it in Xinjiang where genocide of Uyghurs takes place, and explicitly thanks the government? This film is more than just a scam, watching it means conforming to atrocity and suppression of freedom.

LOL “alleged”

This woman and this movie should be avoided at all costs by anyone with a shred of moral fiber and a drop of political awareness. Another disgusting product, rife with hypocrisy, from a nation being quickly ripped away from the global community. CCP COVID BoycottMulan

Wow I’m surprised. *please detect sarcastic tone.

GraceRandolph Considering your role and the reach of your audience - it's integral you address this. Disney have facilitated human rights abuses.

And the lead actress - Liu Yifei supports the Hong Kong Police Brutality! Come on people, please stand with human rights instead of not give a shit! BoycottMulan

I see crazy logics here

what if... Disney gave special thanks for Xinjiang propaganda dept to raise global awareness for Uighurs! We should all BoycottMulan

My family Not watching it.

Funny stuff. Disney is all about 'inclusion' as long as it makes them sweet money. Otherwise, not so much.

Main actress supports the CCP. Filmed in the provenance where China is having another holocaust. The movie actively fucks over what the original did. This movie, along with Aladin, is the biggest shit show Disney has released so far.

...Alleged... Like America is an angel. They're both bad. but it's 'proven' America likes waging wars where it benefits them. Poor middle east. However, people do love attacking other countries when their own have killed and is still killing many innocent lives. Hypocrites.

MStephani8 😬🥴

BUT...'Are you not entertained?!'

BoycottMulan FreeUyghurs

Well they are the new Nazi Germany, but I'm an ignorant leftist today so I think the real Nazis are FDR, Truman, and Trump, because they said some racist things. (FDR and Truman said ACTUAL racist things.)

hkbhkese See clearly please this movie is a form of propaganda Disney is doing clean up for CCP notorious inhuman treatment in Xinjiang They are giving credit to the Uyghur genocide Think again if you see this simply a movie only BoycottMulan BoycottChina FreeUyghur FreeHongKong

from now on, Disney & liuyifei are the spokesperson of PoliceBrutality ConcentrationCamps UyghurGenocide Genocide evil BoycottMulan BoycottDisney

The original Mulan was from Mongolia. What’s the chinese culture people find in Mulan movie? The culture of inhumanity? boycottmulan

Please don't watch this movie because it is filmed in Xinjiang, where the Uyghurs are being genocided. BoycottMulan BoycottMadeInChina

hkbhkese No Mulan any more

Disney is working to Ministry of Truth?

After the Nazis, people said 'never again.' Well, so much for that.

I stand against police brutality in HongKong, I StandWithHongKong. I stand with UyghurMuslim of EastTurkistan, I stand against ethnicity cleansing by CCP. I stand with humanity! So, BoycottMulan! Disney & Hollywood are sold out to CCP regime.

BoycottMulan save12hkyouths CCP_is_terrorist hongkongpolicebrutality

Shoulda had twitter when they made all them WWII movies...

BoycottMulan BloodyLiuYiFei go to Hell

Disney is supporting CCPChina to bully human rights now BoycottMulan

Ask yourself whether you want to support those human rights abusers before you watch the movie Mulan . BoycottMulan BoycottChina HKPoliceBrutality HKPoliceTerrorists

I don't support actors who support the communist chinese regime & the HK police brutality. must be nice to be a privilege chinese hoe. what year of the communist. DISNEY SUPPORTS COMMUNIST JUST THE PROTECT THEIR BOTTOM LINE $$$$$. BOYCOTT DISNEY. WALT DISNEY WOULD NOT APPROVE

BoycottMulan

Not Xinjiang province, East Turkistan please!

There is no reason for me to watching this movie as Liu Yifei supports HKPoliceBrutality .🥺 Pls BoycottMulan

Well, thats the charm of communism.

'...alleged...'

Why was people protesting outside the London Disney store about human trafficking and child trafficking?

Why I'm not surprised

hkbhkese BoycottMulan

A question. If the film had screened much earlier as it was intended, would it still have gotten this backlash?

迪士尼比集中營更恐怖💩Disney is more terrifying than concentration camps😱boycottdisney

At this point they must just give up on releasing the film in Asia

What's with all the whataboutism and genocide defenders I see here?

How low can Disney go for the blood money from CCP China? BoycottMulan FreeUyghurs SaveUyghurs

'Alleged'? Seriously?

All what you mentioned is false with no any evidence, biased individuals seeking financial and immigration gains make up persecution stories so they can apply for asylum.

Rightly so too. They can't expect people to sit silent to atrocities carried out on that region. Best way to condemn HR violations is by boycott.

Disney: Get rid of the dragon, add some human rights abuses..

This is what happens when you pander and kneel to extremists, they see you'll give in and they won't stop. Ever.

I appreciate people caring about the atrocities in other countries and denouncing them but how about we stop the atrocities in our own country first. BLM Vote

First, the supporter of police brutality. Now they affliate to xinjiang re-education camp? Silence can help DisneyStudios no more. BoycottMulan

WTF?Why I'm a Chinese never heard of it

So disappoint on Disney boycottmulan

www_1841er She is pure commercial/spendible trash. Lielieland versus noblenobleland (HKers are the synthesis of kindness and courage).

👇🏻how Hollywood is lost to the hands of CCP China

Alleged human rights abuses? There is NO ALLEGED ABOUT IT. Disney only cares about money! If they could of filmed on the Backlot and gotten away with it, they'd have done that. THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT CASH

FaKe NeWs .. “TwiTtER fOr iPhOnE”

Imagine if Disney had filmed movies in areas by Jewish concentration camps and thanked the Nazi party for providing security. BoycottDisney

Ch2Gc ChiNazi

Disney new low on humanity, wt they concern is ¥rmb only

Fine, then. Just Sharpie the locations out and line out the credit too. Do it over in your back yard. The arbiters of All That is Proper can't seem to agree on the agency thanked anyway, from 'security' to 'propaganda'. Kommen Sie wieder wenn Sie wissen and all. Happy now-

Here we go with the Fake shit 😴🥱

Let the kids watch Mulan in peace..

So many people in these comments completely dodging the whole point of this, all of you disgust me

F that Mouse!!!

And Disney thanked the Chinese Propaganda Board for the privilege in the credis.

Very disappointed to Disney for making a propaganda film for CCP China which stars the pro-HKPoliceBrutality actress and even filmed in Xinjiang where thousands of Uyghurs are deprived of their rights and freedoms by the authoritarian govt. BoycottMulan

I never thought proTrumpers would be so proCommunist China

people living on the stolen land are criticizing others ruining the freedom of Uighur. btw,there no truthful evidence to confirm a camp in Xinjiang,but even 8years kid know how white pigs killed Indian and free other countries with democratic bomb😂lol

I don't get this, the USA all over has seen human rights abuse, so do we just overlook the overwhelming systematic abuse and waging unnecessary wars.

🌎Free🌍Hong🌏Kong🌎

Forced sterilizations? Prima nocta? It's not just cultural genocide, but plain old genocide...

Any__Lee This actress is in support of CCP tyranny!

Unbelievable. Disney thank the concentration camp of Uyghur?! How low are they!

BoycottMulan

No surprise. the movie is in link with CCP power, that’s why the fake Mulan has the guts to support hongkongpolicebrutality BoycottMulan

Scumbags. They won’t be getting another penny from me or my family.

That's why we need to BoycottMulan! FreeUyghur

It is like thanking Nazi for showing around while Jews tortured in the cells. Production of the whole movie is baffling in and out.

I'm sure the Chinese film industry made it a requirement.

The NBA endorses China

If Disney supports genocide by CCP, we should not only BoycottMulan but also BoycottDisney

Rape, force abortion and force to have their wombs being taken out MakeChinaPay

badiucao Everyone knows Disney is about money yet people still watch. By doing so you condone this! If you care so damn much boycott, Disney, altogether since the only thing they understand is profit, not human life.

Please ask Liu Yifei if she supports the Xinjiang police too.

Is there any problem for a concentration camp supporting company, to make a film about a group of assassins trained in a concentration camp? If it's the new reason those who boycott Mulan, I hope they'll see BlackWidow as the same way.

BoycottMulan

HKWORLDCITY BoycottMulan

HKWORLDCITY When everyone spotted the movie was making with organization of human right violations. The BoycottMulan action should escalate, for human right we should require Disney+ to put it off the shelf.

The ethnic cleansing and concentration camps for Uyghurs has been going for years, so, Disney, there’s NO excuse. BoycottMulan

Remind me again where George Floyd gets killed?

.Nike and Apple rn at the thought of losing that sweet free concentration camp labour...

Sad shaming Disney had to be filmed in China thank you to Everyone who made it possible 🙏🏽♥️

Imagine Hollywood filming a pro-Germany movie in Oświęcim, Poland in 1940. Auschwitz concentration camp was located in Oświęcim at the time.

Good god its just location scouting. No disrespect would ever be intended. In fact now Mulan spotlighted it. It will be a tourist attraction where people learn about the suffering, when previously ignorant to it.

The article says alleged, this have being verified, no, and since this have been going allegedly, why no one said anything until now if it was that well known

And there it is. Ok everyone, I see you were absolutely right about this one

jay11w Does Disney even care abt human rights at this point?

Firstly, the leading actress is a violence supporter. Then, this movie is filming in Xinjiang & have a special thanks to the local CCP officials in the credits. How can this movie offend all HKers & Uyghurs at the same time ? Does Disney still respect human rights principles ?

It also thanks for other government like New Zealand. Why people blame it when it say thank you?

It's just a movie. There's no need to read too much into it.

Why would they care? Chinese audiences are where they make all their money now, American opinions are irrelevant. The Chinese government will ensure that the Chinese people never find out this is happening -- and I'm sure a few bribes to your own publication will be part of that.

Old man Walt is spinning with racist glee in his cryo chamber

Its Called Racism. Americans Hate China

BoycottMulan if u support universal human rights, if u hate police brutality, If u believe artists, actors/actresses and companies shall carry social responsibilities, if u respect Asians and refuse seeing us as money mining market and tokens. Boycott Mulan badiucao

well do your job and interrogate the writers/directors/producers on this. don't let them get a way with PR-approved non-answers. do your job.

I just want to see a movie. A movie. You can't tell me that. I can't even stop my daughter from crying. Are you letting me take care of this?

People saying nowhere on earth is untouched by atrocities clearly not reading that the film explicitly thanks a government that helped commit said atrocities. it’s one thing to film a movie in a place with a bad history, another to support the people who created the bad history.

Unbelievably terrible movie. CGI incomplete, storyline doesn’t hold up, scenes don’t match up, missing lines, plot is ridiculous, it’s horrible all the way around. Disney Mulan sucked.

Here come the woke dudebros trying to pass off their apolitical shit as the way of life and anyone offended by concentration camps happening RIGHT NOW are snowflakes. Love to see em

Please don't ruin it for me, I haven't seen it yet 🙏

Just watch the movie.. bad things happen all over the world. How could you boycott art for where it was filmed?

That’s a stretch.. Can’t anyone watch a movie without some stupid BS? 🙄

🙄 every place has some sort of history

2020.

Most films are made in Hollywood where Harvey Weinstein happened sooo.....

Find me a place where nothing has happened. Not condoning or condemning. But this feels so forced.

Didn't RobertIger boycott filming in Georgia over its abortion law, but apparently has no problem with countries doing massive human rights abuses including murdering those that identify as LGBT?

and what about america and other NATO forces are doing in middle east,africa and in afghanistan ?

Disney is disgusting

BoycottMulan

Uh... is there a spot on this earth where atrocities haven’t been committed? I guess just film everything there

Walt must be Spinning in his Freeze Facility
