Pro-democracy activists renew calls for boycott of Disney’s Mulan reboot


Image: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/25045

Controversy over Disney's new film Mulan started in August 2019 after Chinese actress Liu Yifei, portraying the titular heroine, supported police in Hong Kong who have been criticized for using excessive force against protesters.

The actress posted the following message on the Chinese micro-blog Weibo:

"“I support the Hong Kong police. You can all attack me now” (in Chinese) and “What a shame for Hong Kong" (in English).

With the growth of anti-authoritarian sentiments around the world, more and more people from different countries exhibited solidarity in their resistance against Chinese influence.

The Milk Tea Alliance is one example connecting citizens from Thailand, Hong Kong and Taiwan who are concerned with democracy and human right issues.

The Alliance originates from an internet meme responding to the Chinese nationalist netizens' attack of a Thai celebrity couple for showing support for Hong Kong and Taiwan over the social media.

Backing up their peers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal, a Thai student activist, also called for #BoycottMulan and #BanMulan .

Force's inefficiency shown in time taken for them to get police vehicle to site

2155 | Shandong Street / Sai Yeung Choi St South, #MongKok

A reporter witnessed a group of arrestees being taken away from a Wilson phone store.

A police officer said that it would take about half an hour to for them to arrange for another police vehicle to take about 10 female arrestees back to the police station. The reporter was very puzzled that it takes half an hour for the force's vehicle to reach the downtown area of Mong Kok, which is an extremely long time given the distance that the police vehicle actually has to travel.
