The Walt Disney Company is an American industrial titan with a loud voice the company has used to campaign against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis\u2019 parental rights bill.<\/p>\n

As loud as they are against a state policy they disagree with, Disney has been silent about the ongoing Uyghur Muslim genocide in China \u2014 even as they film movies there.<\/p>\n

Fox Business reached out to Disney asking why it appears they are more vocal in speaking out on the DeSantis-backed bill than the literal genocide going on in China, and if the company would condemn the ethnic cleansing.<\/p>\n

Disney did not respond to Fox Business’ request for comment.<\/p>\n

DeSantis\u2019 spokeswoman Christina Pushaw eviscerated Disney in a Friday email to Fox Business, blasting the Mouse House as having “failed to condemn the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s human rights violations” but that the company\u2019s disposition towards the genocide is “much worse than \u2018silence.\u2019”<\/p>\n

“Disney has actively endorsed the CCP\u2019s mistreatment of ethnic and religious minorities,” Pushaw said. “Disney\u2019s live-action film Mulan (2020) was filmed in Xinjiang, with Uyghur internment camps edited out of the background. Disney actually thanked Xinjiang CCP officials (the same communists forcing Uyghurs into gulags) in the credits of the movie.”<\/p>\n

Pushaw pointed to an IndieWire<\/u> <\/a>article talking about the Uyghur detainment centers \u2014 which China calls “voluntary education centers” \u2014 and said DeSantis “has led the way in protecting Floridians from malign influence of the Chinese Communist Party and has consistently criticized CCP human rights abuses.”<\/p>\n
