Activists urge boycotts of Disney's 'Mulan' after actress favors Hong Kong police
The live-action film version of Disney's "Mulan" is facing renewed boycott calls from Asian activists.
Thai and Taiwanese activists have joined Hong Kong protestors fighting for democratic reform who first raised the call for boycotts of the film last year, after its Chinese-born star sided with the Hong Kong police and their crackdown of pro-democracy militants.
"I support the Hong Kong Police," said Liu Yifei, who is also an American citizen, sharing a post from the Beijing People's Daily on Weibo, a Chinese blog site in August 2019. "You can all attack me now. What a shame for Hong Kong."
After several delays due to the coronavirus, "Mulan," which was scheduled to open in theaters in March, is now out on Disney+ in the US and is scheduled to be shown at theaters throughout Asia on Sept. 11.
But MilkTeaAlliance, an online movement of pro-democracy protestors from Asian countries started in April and worried about China's influence in the region, urged their followers to stay away from the film.

Why an 'active' approach to risk modelling is key to navigating markets today
Whether investors are aiming for a cautious approach or a riskier investment profile with the potential for higher returns, Architas' Blended Fund range is designed to match a range of investor risk appetites. And like many asset managers, Architas predominantly uses two approaches to define asset allocation within the five risk bands used in the Blended Range – strategic and tactical.
Whilst risk model provider EValue's quantitative approach to asset allocation takes into account the long-term performance of different asset classes and the likely future performance given current valuations, along with long-term measures of volatility and correlations with other asset classes. Yet as with most systems of its kinds, EValue focuses on the long term; it is unable to analyse short-term market movements and fluctuations. So whilst it would have seen that in Q1 2020 markets fell by a record percentage before rebounding, it will not be able to factor in the cost of the coronavirus and lockdown and its impact on markets. Similarly, it is not able to consider ongoing Brexit woes, geo-political trade wars or the outcome of the US election in 2020.
