Pro-Democracy Activists Around the World Call On Freedom-Loving People to Boycott Disney's Mulan Played by Pro-Police Violence Chinese Actress

Disney's new film Mulan, featuring Chinese actress Liu Yifei, is available on the video streaming platform Disney+ since September 4, 2020.

The female lead Liu Yifei is known for her open support for the Hong Kong police as early as August 2019. On her Chinese social media account Weibo, Liu shared a post by China state-media People's Daily with the heading "I support Hong Kong Police, You can hit me now. What a shame for Hong Kong". Her pro-police stance has triggered calls for boycotting the film Mulan soon after Disney announced the cast.

On September 5, 2020, pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong on Twitter urged Hongkongers not to support the pro-police violence Liu and asked all freedom-loving people to boycott the film.

Veteran Chinese pro-democracy activist and writer Wang Dan also shared news about the boycott for Mulan in Taiwan after the film was released in theatre.

Wang reminded his readers:

"if you still remember how Hong Kong youngsters--many of them have not even reached their 20s--were violated by the police...

If you also think that celebrities like Liu Yifei who make money by forsaking their conscience do not deserve...

If you agree that justice and righteousness are worth more than a film..."

Wang said there is not much one can actually do for Hongkongers, but "at least one can stand against pro-Chinese Communist Party artists together".

Police Surround Agnes Chow and District Councillor's Anti-Health Code Booth

On the evening of Sept 7, 2020, Agnes Chow, former vice-secretary-general of Demosistõ and Yau Tsim Mong District Councillor Ho Fu-wing set up a street booth in Jordan, expressing their opposition to the government's implementation of health code.

This has attracted police attention. Chow and Ho were encircled by the police and everyone at the booth was ticketed for "violating the gathering ban".

In August, police arrested Chow for "breaching the national security law". Chow has to report to the police again on Dec 2, one day before her birthday. Chow had mentioned earlier that her only wish is to be able to return home and spend her 24th birthday at home.

Founder of Taiwanese Forum PTT Boycotts Disney's Mulan, Hailing Hong Kong Women as "True Mulans"

Ethan Tu, founder of Taiwan’s AL Lab initiative and forum PTT, announced on 6 September, 2020 that he will resolutely boycott Disney's Mulan starred by Chinese actress Liu Yifei.

Tu pointed out that the true spirit of the heroic Mulan is carried by many women in Hong Kong who took to the streets to defend their homeland, the rule of law and human rights even though they were threatened by police violence.

In Tu's opinion, Chinese actress Liu Yifei, who was openly supportive of the infamously abusive Hong Kong police, was too hypocritical and therefore incapable of portraying the heroine Mulan.

"I will not watch Mulan. For I have watched the real Mulans [in Hong Kong] die for my ideals and freedom for a whole year. I cannot watch the hypocritical patriotic story of becoming a hero."

Tu lamented that the youth took to the streets for Hong Kong, but were threatened and persecuted by the Hong Kong police with sexual violence. Therefore, he could not look at Liu Yifei, who supported Hong Kong Police's indiscriminate violence.

#AgnesChow Shares her Feelings on Social Media Before Trial

A couple hours before midnight on November 22, 2020, Agnes Chow Ting shared her thoughts on facebook before a court appearance on the next day with Joshua Wong Chi-Fung and Ivan Lam Long-yin.

Chow revealed that both Wong and Lam have decided to plead guilty and the trial would probably be closed soon. It also means that the three could be sent immediately to jail.

Facing impending imprisonment, Chow wrote, "Although I'm prepared, I still have fear. Nevertheless, what I am facing is not that huge compared to many friends. Thinking of this, it makes me work harder and be braver."

Chow mentioned another challenge laying ahead on December 2, 2020 when she has to report to police station for suspected violation of the National Security Law.

She closed her post with words of encouragement to overcome foreseeable challenges and stay strong.

Chow was previously hailed as the #RealMulan.
