Calls to boycott 'Mulan' film

Disney is under fire for shooting its new film Mulan in parts of China where the government is accused of serious human rights abuses.
The final credits thank a government security agency in Xinjiang province, where about 1m people - mostly Muslim Uighurs - are thought to be detained.

Disney has not commented on the row over the locations and the credits.

The live-action film, which is one of the biggest releases of the year, is a remake of the 1998 animated story of a young girl who takes her father's place in the army.
But fans in some Asian countries called for a boycott after Chinese-born actress Liu Yifei made comments supporting Hong Kong's police who have been accused of violence against pro-democracy protesters in recent months.
