#MULAN i don't know a lot about the life of a chinese actress, and i don't really know how the revenue behind mulan works. does boycotting do anything to help hong kong? does not boycotting harm hong kong?

my current stance is that the ccp is awful. they are evil. +
they abuse their power, and one of the ways that happens is by forcing celebrities into supporting them. this is somewhat of a conspiracy, but if i remember correctly, x-men actress fan bingbing once went missing for a period of time and came back as a ccp supporter. +
if that's correct, that's fucking terrifying.

people in china are not given the same rights as those of us in the united states. not everything is as it seems on the surface. liu yifei might be a real ccp supporter, in which case wholeheartedly fuck her, but we can't know for +
sure. in addition, plenty of other chinese celebrities have spoken on behalf of the ccp, so why is it suddenly a thing to target liu yifei?

got7's jackson wang is *hong kong born* and actively supported mainland china during the 2019 hong kong protests, but i didn't hear +
anything about him. i like jackson, and i love mulan. as a chinese american, both of them are important to me as representation. i don't agree with their public statements regarding china, but i'm also quite aware that my actions have very little effect on hong kong, the ccp, +
and them. anyone is of course welcome to boycott mulan if they wish, but making a trend of it seems rather shallow to me. plus, the people who should be voicing their concerns on this topic better be in some way connected to the ccp or hong kong, such as chinese diaspora, +
hong kong residents, etc.

white people complaining about the ccp? you sound like a broken record. this isn't the red scare. this shit doesn't affect you. please shut up unless you want to make the effort to do research or have ways of actually helping hong kong.
not everyone has free speech, yts
this thread is for non-asians that live outside of asia, in case that's not clear. if you live in an area that's affected by the ccp like china, hong kong, thailand, etc., fair game. speak your piece. if you're non-asian and live in the u.s. or u.k. or whatever, bye.
