Disney's 'Mulan' has run into controversy for being partly filmed in the Xinjiang region, where China’s clampdown on ethnic Uighurs and other Muslims has been criticised by some governments, including the United States, and human rights groups.
“Disney’s apparent cooperation with officials of the People’s Republic of China who are most responsible for committing atrocities — or for covering up those crimes — is profoundly disturbing,” the Republican senators and representatives wrote in yesterday’s letter.The letter was retweeted by the Congressional-Executive Commission on China , which monitors human rights and the rule of law and submits an annual report to President Donald Trump and Congress.
The lawmakers also asked Disney about the use of local labour, Uighurs or other ethnic minority labour, “as well as due diligence performed to ensure that no forced labour was used during the film’s production.”
