Disney’s live-action remake of “Mulan” is facing further calls for a boycott after Donnie Yen, a star of the upcoming film, reportedly voiced support for Beijing’s new draconian national security law on Hong Kong.

It comes after Mulan star Yifei Liu—a film and TV actress well known in China—came under fire in August last year for allegedly praising Hong Kong police in a post on Chinese-owned social media platform Weibo.
