Several state organizations in Xinjiang appeared in the film's credits, according to social media posts. "In the new #Mulan, @Disney thanks the public security bureau in Turpan, which has been involved in the internment camps in East Turkistan," the Munich-based World Uyghur Congress tweeted on Monday. Disney, Fish said, had many other options of where to film, and it's unclear why it chose to work in Xinjiang specifically. Last month, Disney said Mulan would skip most theatres and go directly to its Disney+ platform. In February, director Niki Caro told The Hollywood Reporter that Disney had tested the film with Chinese audiences, removing a kissing scene between Mulan and her love interest after feedback from its Chinese executives.
