"Boycott Mulan" was trending on Twitter following the release of the live-action film on the Disney+ streaming service Friday. Many critics pointed out that the end credits of the movie thanked the Chinese Communist Party Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Committee.

More than 1 million Chinese Uighur Muslims are being detained in government internment camps in the Xinjiang region, according to the U.N.

China calls the prison camps in Xinjiang province "re-education" facilities meant to fight extremism and separatism in the region. The U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China describes it as "the largest mass incarceration of a minority population in the world today."

A 2018 U.S. State Department Human Rights report detailed instances of torture, sexual abuse, repressive surveillance measures, forcible eating of pork and drinking of alcohol (both of which are forbidden for observant Muslims), confiscation of Qurans, and even deaths in the Xinjiang interment camps.

The film's production designer, Grant Major, recently revealed in an Architectural Digest interview that his team spent months "in and around the northwest province of Xinjiang." Many are now criticizing the filmmakers for shooting in an area identified with such widespread human rights abuses.

"Mulan specifically thank the publicity department of CPC Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region committee in the credits. You know, the place where the cultural genocide is happening," tweeted novelist Jeanette Ng. "They filmed extensively in Xinjiang, which the subtitles call 'Northwest China.' "
