Yen’s post and his apparently positive stance towards Xi Jinping provoked outrage in and around Hong Kong, where a national security law was imposed by China, restricting the democratic rights of the people – which were theirs promised in the Joint Declaration – and in conflict with the mini-constitution of the special administrative region, the Basic Law. This follows more than a year of large-scale pro-democratic protests.

The movement continued to develop around Southeast Asia in countries like South Korea and Thailand.

Directed by Niki Caro, Disney’s Mulan stars Yifei Liu as Mulan, Donnie Yen as Commander Tung, Jason Scott Lee as Bri Khan and Yoson An as Cheng Honghui, with Gong Li as Xianniang and Jet Li as Emperor. The film is expected to hit theaters on August 21.
