The movie Mulan has provoked a huge storm of criticism on social media, after being hit by backlash after thanking Chinese authorities in movie credits. 

Disney hoped the movie would be a global success and be culturally accurate. 

The film from 1998, is based on a Chinese female warrior who disguised herself as a man and took her father’s place in the army. 

The remake did not only have a Chinese cast, but they hired a Chinese producer to make the movie with them. 

Daniela Robles, a junior from Loretto Academy said, “Because of all Disney’s advertisements about the movie’s accuracy of retelling the poem of Mulan I was disappointed with the result.”

Nancy Wang Yuen, a sociologist from Biola University, told NBC News her thoughts about the lack of Asian talent behind the screens.

Wang said, “ I think that what we’re seeing here is some of the growing pains of Hollywood wanting to be inclusive in terms of storytelling, and yet behind the scenes are not able to or wanting to.”

 Disney publicly thanked Xinjiang for their help for the filming of the live action movie “Mulan.” 

However Xinjiang has been allegedly accused of human rights violations and abuses towards people of different beliefs in the region.

The US State Department estimates that since 2015, 2 million of Muslims have been imprisoned in these “re-education camps.” 

“There are no so-called concentration camps in Xinjiang,” said China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian.

The governor of Xinjiang, claimed that Uighur Muslims in the region’s re-education camps have a good life. 

Isaac Stone Fish, senior fellow at the Asia Society, gave his deep thoughts about the controversial issue.

Stone said, “It’s deeply disturbing that Disney thought it was okay to partner with, and also thank, government departments, specifically propaganda departments, and a public security bureau from a region in China that is complicit with genocide”

They called out Mulan’s lead actress, Liu Yifei, after posting on social media her endorsement and support towards Hong Kong’s police. 

Yifei shared on Chinese social media platform a post supporting police brutality in Hong Kong that said “What a shame for Hong Kong.”

In spite of all the criticism  received, it was acclaimed for its great production and picture; making Mulan stand out from Disney’s live-action remakes.
