(CNN) With the new live-action version of "Mulan," Disney missed the mark with viewers in China and the United States. With a timeless story as beloved as "Mulan," it seemed Disney had backed a winning horse. The movie, which cost $200 million to make, was expected to be a hit in both China and the United States. Since the #BoycottMulan hashtag and backlash over filming in Xinjiang began appearing in western news outlets, Chinese censors have blocked any content about "Mulan" from Chinese media sites. But in a country with close to 1.4 billion people, that means almost 129 million people are not Han Chinese.
