China has barred media coverage of Disney's 'Mulan' after Xinjiang backlash

Sorry but that's just ignorant. Chinese cinema is as diverse as any other foreign countries. What they don't care about is being pandered to by western filmmakers raised with different perspectives and prerogatives telling white savior stories. My family is Chinese and I really don't understand how no one at Disney or anywhere else has seemingly never spoken to anyone actually from China, because this mindset of putting Chinese actors in their movies isn't seen as anything but pandering. Saying an entire country has "shit taste" in movies because they live in a different context is pretty harsh. You'd have to go ahead and judge bollywood too. Everything is determined by history. It's like how the entire genre of tokusatsu is based in the Japanese people seeing the horror of the atomic bomb and then using technology to make themselves strong enough to fight "invading forces" like aliens. You could argue every evil organization from Ultraman to Kamen Rider to sentai is a placeholder for America.
