What's wrong with thanking Xinjiang? Well, More than a million Muslims in Xinjiang, mostly of the Uighur minority, have been imprisoned in concentration camps. Disney worked with regions where genocide is occurring, and thanked departments that are helping implement it.

Why did Disney need to work in Xinjiang? It didn’t. There are plenty of other regions in China, and countries around the world, that offer the starkly beautiful mountain scenery present in the film. But in doing so, Disney helps normalize a crime against humanity.

It’s unclear exactly what the “Mulan” story’s relationship with Xinjiang is. Some of the crew members, such as the production designer Grant Major, spent months in and around Xinjiang, while the director Niki Caro visited Xinjiang at least once, on Sept 2017 scouting mission.

Here's the screenshot, buried at the end of the credits, about who Disney thanks in China. Notice the 'publicity departments.' That's a mistranslation of 宣传部,"propaganda department.pic.twitter.com/fRijq1ab7V

In 1946, Disney released “Song of the South,” which glorified life on a plantation in painfully racist terms. Rightfully ashamed, Disney later pulled the film — it’s now difficult to find a copy.

Mulan is Disney’s most problematic movie since then. Not because of its content, but because of the shameful compromises Disney made in order to shoot it. (end of thread).
