【給迪士尼CEO的公開信：促披露與新疆政府達成的秘密協議】An Open Letter to Bob Chapek, CEO Walt Disney Company
I call upon Disney to disclose the details of its agreements with Xinjiang authorities, as well as all the subsidies, funding, assistances and instructions that it has received from the authorities.
As the movie is widely considered as an attempt to spread propaganda and whitewash China's cultural genocide, I also urge Disney to suspend the screening of such a controversial movie and clarify its stance on human rights violations regarding re-education camps in the region.

[An Open Letter to Bob Chapek, CEO Walt Disney Company]
Dear Mr. Chapek,
Since the release of its teaser trailer last year, Mulan has already been under heavy global criticism. A few days ago, it was reported that Disney offers "special thanks" in its credits to eight government entities in Xinjiang where re-education camps are reportedly located, including the Turpan Municipal Bureau of Public Security. According to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, the Turpan Municipal Bureau of Public Security is responsible for running at least 14 re-education camps in the area "to extrajudicially detain minorities."
In October 2019, the U.S. Commerce Department already placed the department on its Entry List, for participating in "human rights violations and abuses in the implementation of China's campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention, and high-technology surveillance against Uighurs, Kazakhs, and other members of Muslim minority groups in the XUAR."
While Disney has been completely remaining silent on the Uyghur issue, its cooperations with the officials responsible for brutal crackdowns on Uighur Muslim minority really sends an alarming signal to the world - what kind of values Disney advocates for, especially when the company's target market is the children worldwide.
Besides, the film also expresses thanks to three CCP's propaganda departments in Xinjiang, from the Publicity Department of CPC Turpan Municipal Committee, the Publicity Department of the CPC Turpan Gaochang District Municipal Committee, to Publicity Department of the CPC Shanshan County Committee. It casts more doubts on whether Mulan is the propaganda masterpiece that Disney works hand in hand with the CCP government to whitewash the cultural genocide and human violations on ethnic minorities in the region.
In fact, Mulan was filmed in 2018, the same year that China staged the hardest suppression on Uyghurs in the region. The film was also shot in locations where all these re-education camps have been documented. As media reports, there are at least seven re-education camps located all along the highway from the Turpan airport to Shanshan desert where the filming took place. Turpan was also the first documented case that political indoctrination was used against Uyghurs by the Chinese authority.
According to the 2019 Report on International Religious Freedom published by the U.S. Department of State, over a million of Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, Hui, members of other Muslim groups and some Uighur Christians were detained in internment camps in Xinjiang and subject to "forced disappearance, political indoctrination, torture, psychological and physical and psychological abuse, including forced sterilization and sexual abuse, forced labour, and prolonged detention without trial because of their religion and ethnicity."
As the incident has sparked global concerns, I call upon Disney to disclose the details of its agreements with Xinjiang authorities, as well as all the subsidies, funding, assistances and instructions that it has received from the authorities. As the movie is widely considered as an attempt to spread propaganda and whitewash China's cultural genocide, I also urge Disney to suspend the screening of such a controversial movie and clarify its stance on human rights violations regarding re-education camps in the region.
