    There's actually a really good video from a Chinese youtuber about how badly it butchers Chinese mythology and history. I highly doubt they had a whole lot of input in the direction of the film. Found it

      Now if only westerners could focus on actual criticism instead of the 100 trillion uyghurs in camps and straight up yellow peril

    It's like one of the least funny jokes these Sinophobic westerners just can't let go of.

    The anti-Chinese YouTube grift is something else. Just put up a video criticizing Mulan throw in some Winnie-the-Pooh references, get faux outraged about Hong Kong and Xianjang, collect your Silver Play Button and ad dollars.

      I was there like a month before everything shut down, you could buy winnie the pooh themed shit for kids. Also, "no one there knows about tiananmen square" is just total bullshit. It's either called 天安门事件 or 六四事件 and everyone knows about it. They also know the historical context, while here the knowledge just about ends at "cool tank man".
