(ANSA) - NEW YORK, 08 SEPT - The eternal controversy between the United States and China also moves to the cinema.
The banana peel this time for the US is Disney and its film production of the moment: Mulan.
The casus belli are the thanks to China from the house of Mickey Mouse for shooting the film on Chinese territory.
In particular, in the queue titles, thanks to six Chinese government agencies operating in Xinjiang, a region where the government has created internment camps, even if officially called 'Vocational education and training centers' with the aim of forcibly 'training' the population of the Uyghurs, an ethnic-speaking of Islamic religion.
Beijing is accused of carrying out a campaign of human rights violations carried out through mass detentions, disappearances, forced labor, forced sterilization and the destruction of Uighur heritage.
Mulan was released last weekend on the Disney + coaching platform and was shot in about twenty locations in China, including the Mingsha Shan Desert and the Tuyuk Valley east of Turpan where there are several internment camps.
The criticism for the film therefore went beyond the cinematic aspect.
Thanks to China, which is estimated to have locked up over a million Uighurs in internment camps, was seen as a scandal, with Disney implicitly implementing genocidal policies.
