The Walt Disney Company is receiving criticism for filming part of its new live-action movie Mulan in the Xinjiang area of China. The Chinese government has been accused of human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim minorities in the area. At the end of the film is a message thanking official communications departments in Xinjiang. It also thanked the public security office of Turpan, a Uyghur-majority city in the region. Mulan was released last week on the streaming site Disney Plus. Human rights activists and China experts have expressed condemnation on social media sites. They say Disney behaved unethically to gain entrance to China’s profitable movie market, the second largest in the world. Amnesty International tweeted a link to a media report on the issue and asked Disney, “Can you show us your human rights due diligence report?”
