A SupportMulan campaign kicks off in China after calls in Hong Kong to boycott the Disney film
Hong Kong Disney hasn't always had the easiest time in China, but amid calls to boycott the live-action version of"Mulan" the entertainment giant is getting help from an unlikely ally: Chinese state media.
Last week, Liu Yifei, the Chinese-born actress playing the eponymous role in the remake, waded into the Hong Kong protest controversy by pledging support for the city's police, who anti-government demonstrators accuse of using excessive force to quell unrest."I support the Hong Kong police. You can all attack me now. What a shame for Hong Kong," she posted on Weibo, a Twitter-like Chinese social media platform. .
— Global Times August 21, 2019 On Twitter, where Global Times is one of several state-run outlets maintaining a major presence, the paper said boycotters were"ideological paranoids" and included its own hashtag #SupportMulan. At the time of writing, the hashtag was largely populated by tweets referencing instances of violence during the protests, and accusing participants of being"thugs" or stooges of Washington fighting for Hong Kong independence.
