The hashtag #BoycottMulan has been trending on Twitter in Thailand since Friday. The hashtag represents Thai citizens' solidarity with Hong Kong protests and opposition to comments made by Mulan actress, Liu Yifei, in support of Hong Kong's police force.

Calls for boycotting the film have been circling since last August, when Yifei shared a post that stated, "“I support the Hong Kong police. You can all attack me now.” #BoycottMulan has now taken to Thailand following a national security law imposed this week. The law broadens the Beijing government's power to investigate, prosecute and punish any form of dissidence in Hong Kong. In addition, the central government will create its own police force labeled the "Office for Safeguarding National Security". This security organization's work "shall not be disclosed to the public," and "decisions by the Committee shall not be amenable to judicial review."

The terms and punishments of this new law remain vague but can range all the way up to life in prison. Hong Kong's Chief Executive, Carrie Lam stated, "I am confident that after the implementation of the national security law, the social unrest which has troubled Hong Kong people for nearly a year will be eased and stability will be restored, thereby enabling Hong Kong to start anew, focus on economic development and improve people's livelihood."

Directed by Niki Caro, Disney's Mulan stars Yifei Liu as Mulan, Donnie Yen as Commander Tung, Jason Scott Lee as Böri Khan and Yoson An as Cheng Honghui, with Gong Li as Xianniang and Jet Li as the Emperor. The film is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters August 21.
