Another reason for concern is the comments made by Mulan’s leading actress Yifi Liu last August. “I support the Hong Kong police. You can all attack me now. What a shame for Hong Kong,” she posted on Weibo.
Protests in Hong Kong, which began two months ago with a transfer bill empowering Chinese courts in strategic Hong Kong legal cases, reached a new peak when Leo Weibo made a statement. Opponents of the movement have often done so not in full support of China, but in response to calls by police for an end to violent protests.
“This is a very complicated situation and I am not an expert. I hope all this will be resolved soon, ”she said In an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
Joshua Wong, a Hong Kong activist and politician Liu’s comments were brought up on Friday, When the film was launched at Disney Plus, it promoted “Everyone who believes in human rights to #BoycottMulan”. The tweet has 27,000 retweets.
