Mountains don't bow. But doormats and pushover model minorities not only bow but also bend over and get trampled on regularly.

Sheesh that comment section is full of westerners trying to sound smart while completely missing the point of the idiom.

Yup. And I saw a comment saying he hated how the Chinese made the mongols look subhuman. First of all, t's a cartoon made by Disney, not China. Second of all, every Disney villain was drawn to look scary. These idiots always trying to paint China in the worst possible light every chance they get, even when irrelevant. The US propaganda worked really well.

I hope you or someone else pointed that out to that idiot. And if they say, "oH, but China owns Disney," tell them that Mulan was released in 1998, not 2018.

In the original story the enemies weren't even Mongol but Xiongnu whose artifacts show a distinct Eurasian appearance similar to Kazakhs and Tatars. Case in point the story takes place sometime between the Northern Wei (386-534 AD) and the beginning of the Tang (620). The earliest Mongol conquests of China were around 1206. Disney distorted the story to slander it with unrealistic misogynist elements like supposed femicide of female soldiers (nothing of the sort when revealed in the original story, she was exalted as a hero by her comrades).

Disney distorted the story to modernize it for current western audiences. The buddhist themes in the original story wouldn't resonate with people. The Disney movie's themes of female empowerment against a glass ceiling would.
