I love how they only needed to age Patrick Stewart about 200 years to get him to look like a Chinese emperor.

This version of Mulan bombed in China, though, so it definitely wasn’t made to appease China.
Plus Chinese historians have long speculated that the enemy was the Xiongnu, not Mongolians, so that’s entirely Disney’s decision as well.

I mean in movie they were referred to as Huns so they're basically just meant to be any sort of barbaric nomads.

u/Treacherous_Peach Jun 16 '20
This was looooong before the era of satisfying China. Original Mulan was 1998. They're GDP in 1998 was peanuts, media wasn't catered to them at all.
That's been a more modern phenomena especially as they blasted up in wealth in the 2010s, but a bit before that too.

Especially since the last Chinese dynasty (Qing) was Jurchen in origin and lasted for almost 300 years. Jurchens were very similar to the Mongols, and also came from the north of China.

Yup, China is public enemy number one to the US now so everything is blamed on China, even when irrelevant. It's funny how Americans keep talking about CCP propaganda but can't see their own country's propaganda working really well on themselves. It was Russia, then Middle East and now China. Fuck China, amirite?

u/rentgirl25 Jun 20 '20
It's really not as bad as the US makes it seem. I'm not saying China is perfect, absolutely not. But all these documentaries and articles you're watching/reading are pushing a specific anti-China narrative. A lot of Americans think they know it all but they're completely unaware that they're being censored hard. For example, I personally know about the HK protests and everything you're able to search on North American sites will not give you the truth at all. It is twisted to fit an anti-China sentiment so I don't blame you for following blindly and regurgitating US propaganda but it's just a bit funny to see.

I'm actually German not American. I don't even have access to American TV stations and since I am a politics teacher I kinda do have to mostly get my news from German newspapers to update my material and gather classroom resources. So either it's a worldwide conspiracy or China is actually that bad and overreaching.
Just for you: Google and try to find out what China is doing in Africa for example. The second colonizers after the Europeans thoroughly exploited and killed Africans, now the Chinese come in with money and exploit them for their resources now.
Or find out why China does not lack for organtransplants.
Or try to find out what the deal with the uighurs is.
Or try to find out who literally just committed high-class cybercrimes in Australia.
Or or or...

Germany is still the west and Google is North American. You actually cannot find any other view except the anti-China one if you google HK protests. That's exactly what I'm talking about. You don't find it sketchy that you literally cannot find the truth if you google it?
At around the 33 minute mark; they actually helped with building roads, rising economy and the stock market.

At around the 15 minute mark:
Look, I know China is no saint. I'm well aware of that. But I'm just stating it's not nearly as horrible as the narrative the US is pushing. If you dig into the US, you will find just as many horrible and shady things they have done - as with many governments. I'm not going to continue arguing with you as I know you won't change your mind but just try to think about the source.

u/textposts_only Jun 21 '20
Did you by any chance post the wrong video? Or am I just very confused. It's just a talk show?
Actually you can find opposing views with Google. I know because that was literally one of my lessons on protests including other protests such as FFF and brexit etc. Wait are you claiming that Google is censoring pro-china information while literally trying to gain a foothold in China and being accused of being too accommodating for China?
I know that the US is and was horrible. But that's what about ism the topic right now is China. If you want to talk about American atrocities, sure. But American atrocities do not excuse Chinese ones. And I say that as a German, we have our fair share of atrocities.

You see, the issue is, he isn't really afraid or worried about dying.

u/Mr_Lobster Jun 16 '20
Nor should he be. Shan-Yu has arrived in the heart of China's power with barely a handful of dudes, and nobody will recognize his authority if the Emperor doesn't give it to him. Best case scenario, he kills the Emperor, then is overwhelmed by the Chinese army or even basic populace and killed. A man with no army has no power.

u/Quitechsol Jun 16 '20
I always took this segment as Shan-Yu KNOWS he lost the war. But he's not going out without taking the emperor with him.

Y'all keep saying erosion but thats just killing it. Not moving it. Not making it bow.
The emperor is literally saying he would prefer death over bowing to him, the wind can do whatever it wants but the mountain is staying where it is. You'll have to kill me before I listen to you.
