Crystal Liu on the Boycott Mulan Hashtag and the Virus That’s Ravaging her Hometown

She's probably just saying all that because she realizes how much money it will cost Disney and how it will affect her career going forward.

When you think about this issue only a dumb*** would come out and support (unless threaten by their government to do so). Everybody wants that freedom to do as they please without being control by their government. She is so lucky to be in a position where she can escape that strict government whenever she wants or stay for a while and make off her $ there.

I don't support violence, but that message all the C-stars were posting in support was not really positive either. They all deserved criticism from int'l fans.

what's wrong with supporting the police against the Hong Kong thugs?

Definitely not paying to see this in theaters as much as I want to support a movie starring a POC woman. Should've hired another actress from the get go.

POC, Person of color?
So you want a white person pretending to be Asian? Something only convinced by the dumbest people.

Want another Asian woman to play? They all posted the same thing.
Crystal Liu's post was still at least controversial, the police were bad but some protestors were terrible too, she's probably only against the bad ones but can't say everything in details.

She wasn't allow to say nothing, but if she says anything, she can't support either side too. I found her social media post to be very argumentative.

Please quit saying this in every post associated with Liu Yifei. We get, she's pretty.

Because many of the people that the police used force against weren't thugs at all, but peaceful protesters who had the right to do what they were doing. You sound like someone on Fox news, don't spread misinformation.

Ah, Anonymous 6a, another fool brainwashed by the respected propaganda channels to believe that there were peaceful protestors being attacked by HK police. These people were involved in illegal assemblies. Either that or they were being violent brutes and terrorists. It is the job of the police to enforce the law and bring order to society and there is nothing wrong with supporting that.

There’s tons of actual footage showing that the police did not lift a finger against LEGAL peaceful assemblies. The police acted only when necessary in an attempt to maintain order when provoked and attacked

In fact, the rioters (I wouldn’t call them protestors) were overwhelmingly aggressive and vicious in their attacks against the police as well as other ordinary citizens who didn’t agree with them. The police were actually acting in defence against these scum

YOU’RE the one spreading misinformation through the lens of your biased perspective and twisted ideology

You guys talk as if Communism is a bad thing

You’ve been brainwashed since you were born to believe that it is an evil thing

In reality, it is just a different system of governance, a different ideology, a different concept from Western democracy

And there is nothing wrong with that difference

The fact that people from Western democracies cannot tolerate a different system of governance and ideology highlights how narrow-minded, flawed (and actually authoritarian) that Western democracy is

The world is big enough to accommodate more than one dominant power, more than one system of governance, more than one ideology

If Chinese Communism were that bad (in fact China is not even truly Communist, it is Socialist), the Chinese government wouldn’t have the support, approval and trust of greater than 80% of the Chinese population

This is in contrast to the less than 30% trust rating that the US govt has from its people

So stop being a frog in a well, open your eyes, see more of the world for what it really is, visit China rather than swallowing all the garbage propaganda and lies the mainstream Western media shoves down your throat

And, most of all, grow a brain and become more open-minded and tolerant

Sara sounds like an ass but 3.b sounds like a hypocrite who should not step into the land of US

4.b is clearly a wu mao. Do not engage lmao.

Definitely gonna support Liu Yi Fei.

4.d, so I guess the Edelman Trust Barometer, Gallup and Pew Research surveys are fake and rigged, even when they have been conducted by well-established highly respected institutions, and accepted and referenced by prestigious international organisations such as the OECD? And even the US itself?

And articles have been written about the findings of such surveys, even by well-acknowledged media outlets such as Forbes etc?

Okaaaay…keep being deluded and living in la la land then

And no, YOU'RE the one who has clearly been brainwashed and re-educated if you think that "only in the US you are allowed not to trust your gov't and still stay safe". Ever heard of Edward Snowden and Julian Assange? And how the US is trying to persecute and murder them? No? I need not say more. You've obviously been living under a rock and too dense to realise the truth

For your information, there is a public website in China where citizens can submit and publish complaints and feedback to their government. It is all in the open and citizens are not restricted in the complaints that they can make. And no, they do not just disappear if they make a complaint. That is a lie made-up by anti-Chinese shills. Don't believe it? Go to China and test it out for yourself

Your likening the Chinese govt to being terrorists is ridiculous beyond imagination.
Which country has executed some of the worst massacres of members of its own population in history? And which country goes around the world bombing, maiming and killing poor people in other countries, often on the pretext of a made-up lie?

Well, a number of countries but the worst would have to be the United Satans of America. Ever heard of the Elaine Massacre near the Mississippi? Or how about the war on Iraq where surprise, surprise, no weapons of mass destruction were found and the President was caught lying about it?

The US govt is the worst war criminal and terrorist in the world, but CIA shills like you are in deep denial

China's re-education camps have proven to be successful in de-radicalising extremists and terrorists. Something the US should greatly envy. Given the extremism of your beliefs and the depths of your brainwashing, you should attend those camps too and sort yourself out. You would be doing yourself (and the world) a great favour

I HAVE looked at the footage, and these are just SOME examples of what I see:

I need not say more

The CCP has not told me anything. I don't read any news from the Chinese media outlets or follow any Chinese social media. I base my views and opinions on the cold, hard facts of what I can see and perceive with my own senses.

YOU are simply buying into whatever the Western MSM and deep state are telling you without looking at the evidence objectively and without any prejudice or bias. You're obviously not using your own brain to judge for yourself without relying on the manipulated Western narrative.

Shame on YOU for condoning violence against the HK police and ordinary citizens who are not part of the protest/riot movement, and endorsing the insane madness and vicious actions of the rioters and then laying the blame on the law enforcers.

The protestors/rioters are far from vulnerable. They were very well-funded and well-equipped and knew what they were doing. Has anyone ever seen vulnerable people carrying and throwing petrol bombs/molotov cocktails, lighter fluid, bricks, hammers, bows and arrows, metal pipes etc? *SNORT*

Before you blame the HK police for (rightfully) defending themselves and the city, dig through the US records and see what happened when there were protests/riots in the US. Now THAT'S what I call brutality.

Or even look at the recent protests in India. Or France. Or Catalonia. The list goes on.

There were deaths in the protests in the US, India and France. Can't say the same for so-called 'police brutality' in HK even when the protest movement has lasted for far longer than any other protest in other countries.

If anything, many people believe that the HK police have been too soft, weak and forgiving to the HK rioters.

You find my views disgusting? I find YOU disgusting!

Don't worry 3.C, you can be assured that I will never step foot into the US. No desire to at all

And I don't understand what you mean when you say I'm a hypocrite.

You, on the other hand, sound butt-hurt

wow people are so butt hurt I only pointed it out cause it's another reason why she got the role as Mulan.

I won't pay to watch this movie but not because of any political ideology. I just like to download illegally any movie I want to watch. Oooops.

I think we should argue about Disney and Nicki Caro's statements so far which have caused lots of stressful debates on Twitter.

It's all great to see a Chinese cast in a White movie with Chinese characters but let's remember that they're going for the audience who will not watch Chinese anywhere else and who will not watch Chinese movies after watching this.

As expected there are people praising communism and saying sweet lies about it.
No government system or political ideology is good. We are Humans and it's Human nature to enjoy Human cruelty in it's all forms.
Right or left. Communism or Capitalism. It's all evil.

I live in a leftist/communist country but no government from any side does good job at anything.
Every public service is in shambles. No week goes by in any sector of the public service without strikes and violent protests asking for more money and better conditions. No money, no salary and no benefits.
The puplic health care system is in shambles. Lack of doctors, lack of nurses, lack of medicine, lack of medical equipments, lack of medical machines, lack of facilities and so much more. Patients waiting on the floor in the hospital for medical attention and not getting it because there are thousands others in the same situation.

To the people praising the CCP in the comments. In China, you're not allowed to discuss the government like this. Any criticism online is immediately censored and you can even be taken in by the police. It's not a joke. It's not an exaggeration. You praise the trust your people have in the CCP, but when they have no outside information and only have the information the CCP gives them, of course they're going to have trust. What else do they have to go off of? I am by no means saying democracy or western politics is the way to go, but the one party totalitarian dictatorship that occupies China currently, is a root of profound evil. The Chinese people deserve to see every option available and not be lied to. The Chinese people deserve so much better than what they have.

No-one is praising the CCP

Some people are just saying that Communism with Chinese characteristics is not the evil that many have been brainwashed to believe. In fact, China is not strictly Communist; it is only so in name. In reality it is Socialist with a large streak of Capitalism running through it

Unlike what Westerners think, China does have an election system. It is just that the leaders are indirectly, rather than directly, elected. The people vote at the county or district level, and the elected officials then vote for the next level of leaders and so on all the way to the top and the selection is based on meritocracy and the proven track record of the candidates

In China to be a leader, you can’t just pork-barrel the population, give bombastic speeches, manipulate the media and then get elected. You have to have started from the lower rungs and proved yourself to your peers and to the population first before you are considered worthy of election/appointment to a higher post.

Usually, to become part of the Central government, you need to have been the governor of at least 1, usually more than 1, province. And your performance during that time is considered

Also, China does not rely on one single leadership. The Politburo Standing Committee of 9 members consult together and vote on major decisions affecting the country

The point is, it’s just a different system of government and one that’s working well for China

If the Chinese system were so evil, the government would not have lifted at least 800 million people out of poverty in a mere matter of 1 or 2 decades and brought economic prosperity and stability to the nation

If China, with its whopping 1.4 billion popular, were to adopt the alternative system of democracy, it would surely descend into chaos, stalemates and great inefficiency (just like India) and people would fall back into poverty

So no, having one single party ruling the country is NOT the root of profound evil. And China is not totalitarian. It is authoritarian. Please get that right.

Also, who’s to say that democracy cannot be the root of evil? Ever heard of the democratically elected former PM if Malaysia Najib Razak and how he bled the country dry of its wealth and resources through the massive and infamous 1MDB corruption scandal?

That’s just one example

And who says that the Chinese are not well-informed and don’t know what their options are or what’s going on in the world?

There’s such a thing called VPN. Just go on YouTube, for example. The huge numbers of mainland Chinese users and viewers on there says everything

Also, I’m guessing that you haven’t been to China? Because if you have and you have spoken to enough Chinese, you will be well surprised at how well-informed and knowledgeable they are about world affairs and other political systems

Except for the Chinese, it is nobody else’s business how China is organised and governed. Who are you to preach from your high horse and say what’s good for China and its people?

How do you know that the current governing system is not the one that the Chinese people want and are satisfied with?

Those fake stories of people getting taken away or put in jail are made up by Falungong activists — members of an anti-China cult that has been working very actively with the CIA and other foreign elements for many years. Don’t simply believe everything you hear

The long and short of it is — don’t mind China’s business. You have no right to. Mind your own

You don’t have to be scared or threatened by China’s governing system. After all, China is not trying to force its system on anyone else. If democracy is as great as claimed, you should have more confidence in it and let it run in your own country

The world doesn’t need to be homogeneous all over

Oh I do believe that China has already found its own way of governing a massive land area and population effectively and efficiently – my observation is that it's not much different today than what was practiced throughout its dynastic history of some thousand years – a loving parent who knows best & what's good for its children and in return, obedient, filial and loyal children. Every past emperor sought to achieve peace and stability within its boundaries. I wouldn't even call today's China "communist" tho' it experimented with that after the last Qing dynasty. By the 1980s, it has started to deviate from that philosophy. True communism is in N. Korea. China has enough freedom for its citizens to practise capitalist ideas and to have private ownership of wealth but not enough freedom to thrash your own home or threaten the peace, if you are inclined to do so. Other than that, you can state your opinions and do what you want within those boundaries. And freedom of speech is over-rated. All countries imposes restrictions – just that the subject matter and tolerance levels varies. Most countries have laws against spreading fake news or offensive speech or disclosing state secrets.
The point is that western democracy is not the gold standard, nor the only system of governance that can work in every circumstance. Why are others so obsessive about how China runs its own country? It is a very successful state. It contributes a lot of growth, development and knowledge to the world. Throughout its history, it has done so – with so many things we used today all first invented in China. This alone proves that the system does not stifle individual thoughts and creativity. Whereas, a number of other so called democratic countries are failed or failing states. So I say, stop the China (& Chinese people) bashing and look after your own backyard. I'm sure you have enough problems of your own to solve. China does not interfere in your country or tell you that your government system is wrong, why should you interfere in China's internal affairs? P/S : This is not CCP propaganda cos I'm not Chinese. P/S : In my country, if people behaved like those Hong Kong rioters, looting and storming the legislature building and hurting people with weapons & setting people on fire, they would have been shot dead by the police. No questions asked. "Pace".

As an ethnic person living in the great US of A, I have firsthand experience of the government's hypocrisies and negligence to its people. Seriously, when will the government turn their attention to the homelessness, stagnant of wages, skyrocketed health care, failing education and crumbled infrastructures among many others of its people. I will applauded those very few that tried to fight but majority don't give a damn. That is why the average Americans are experiencing the above in this modern day of America.

Regardless of whether you think communism is good or bad or whether you think Chinese govt is despicable or good…of you believe in freedom of speech and I sincerely hope you do, then please don't participate in the crazy "cancel culture" that is wreaking havoc all over the world. In order for any individual to speak up against things that are wrong or speak up in defense of things that are important, we will need to tolerate people who say things we may not agree with. If you want freedom of speech, you must protect freedom of speech to everyone, not just yourself.

Are the Wu Mao's invading drama websites now? If you don't know what I mean look the term Wu Mao and the 50 cent army up.

Well, it will be a lot easier for English-speaking audiences to understand. I know subtitles may be provided but it's still not as good as when they're actually speaking it.

I don't know why people are attacking 3.b? Did she actually offend anybody (that doesn't deserve to)?
