Mulan Backlash: Why Disney’s China Problem Just Got Worse

Now that the world is pushing back against the CCP after they have thought they could bully everyone into submission, what do you think is next? Can their access to the SWIFT money exchange system or their membership in the WTO be cancelled?

Chris-Does Shelly sit in a booth somewhere, just waiting to correct you?

COMPLICATED? Talk about idiots who suck up for money. China is a ruthless police slave state that has loaded Disney into its trundle cart headed for the guillotine. The cowardice of Disney cannot be underestimated. What should be called for is "Free the Mouse!" Mickey has become pond scum that needs to be cleaned up.

What do you think the CCP thinks about Trumps peace deal in the middle east?

Chris; China’s connections to US election. 1) Bloomberg who makes billions in China announced spending 100 million dollars to influence Florida voters. 2) Biden’s family making millions from managing 1.5 billion Chinese investment. 3) Kamala Harris’ husband is an attorney representing Chinese company. Please consider connecting these dots. Thanks.

Hello Chris, as a member of your 50 cent army, I have come to appreciate your reporting and dry humor. I am attaching a comment and New York Post link about breaking news about the origin of the now infamous CCP virus. Maybe this could be the topic of an upcoming episode.: The, as of yet uncorroborated, claims about the origins of the CCP (COVID-19) virus made by this former HK-based virologist, if found to be true, could be tantamount to finding the "smoking gun" culprit of the release of this now infamous global killer. What is known, and is now generally accepted, is that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was complicit in the initial coverup of the initial release of the coronavirus (CCP, nee COVID-19) virus from the Wuhan Virology Lab in Wuhan, China. The initial coverup was tantamount to causing the still-rising death of over 900,000 human deaths worldwide to date.

Chris and team, regarding episode style suggestions, I personally really enjoy Q&A formats. It's a great way to get a brief and concise summary regarding a broad range of issues, so big thumbs up from me on that. If I can throw another suggestion at you guys, I'd love to see an episode comparing and contrasting traditional Chinese culture and philosophy to the culture that has been artificially constructed under communist-occupied China. Much thanks for everything you all do. Cheers!

Chris, it seems like the one redeeming quality of a dictatorship should be that a government can quickly and unilaterally respond to a crisis, since it is not necessary to build consensus. Why doesn't this work in practice, especially as it relates to non-political things like natural disasters?

with regard to the show format question, i've generally been enjoying the heavily edited headline showcase. these episodes would not be improved, IMO, by doing them live and them getting stretched in length as a result. that said, I love seeing matt and shelley. i remember a lot of old episodes would have you cutting to shelley for the breakdown of a difficult idea, and i'd love to see her given a regular role in a different way than live interviews. i don't watch or listen to most of the podcasts because, although i am actually interested, i don't have time to consume all of the media i want to, and it's slower format makes it of less value to ME. the show has improved massively over the years, so definitely continue to experiment and try new ideas out.

MIC.. see ya in the concentration camp! KEY.... Why? Because of an independent thought or action!

I would love a live Q&A podcast. Yall have 2 or 3 topics to talk about, and I between each topic viewers can ask questions, or add to the discussion

That movie sucked AND they supported by the CCP!? I just asked Disney for a refund. They responded with "But since you are valued customer here in Disney+ I can process the refund request, but can't assure you that this will be approve or not." I responded, "so now Disney is tricking US citizens into supporting the Chinese Communist Party?" Apparently it's been escalated. Let's see if I get the refund.

I refuse to watch any sports where even ONE overpaid mindless player kneels, and I do NOT subscribe to ANY streaming service. Not Disney, definitely NOT Netflix, and I never will. All of you, who still watch this garbage, are putting money into their pockets, and by doing so, are promoting exactly what you say you despise. WHY???? CANCEL ALL OF YOUR CABLE AND STREAMING SERVICES AND BOYCOTT ALL SPORTS WHO FEATURE THE NAMES OF RAPISTS ON THEIR FACES (HELMETS), AND WHO KNEEL!! If you don't...you get what you deserve. There ARE other more important things to do than sit on your ASSES and watch mindless TV.

I have NO TV. I chose to watch what I want on my computer.

You get what you deserve sometimes.

Stream started and stopped 5 times...don't know why...

To answer your question Chris, I would really support the live Q&A. Not only are they a lot of fun, but during this lockdown time I’m sure many would appreciate the “company” of having you, Shelley, and Matt in our living rooms, so to speak. And also, to be brutally honest, they’re a great way to get in some money! Donating is half the fun, and other avenues simply don’t generate that kind of revenue. While people can listen to your excellent podcasts - no one listens and feels any pressure to donate money, nor would they have the “thrill” of doing so like one gets during a livestream and seeing one’s name pop up. And also, there’s no script to prepare outside of a few talking points. It doesn’t even need to be serious, but a few laughs and a few behind the scenes stories - and we’ll all laugh along and shower you with cash. What’s not to like?

You should get a pooh bear as a co host? Every time you squeeze it says made in china. I promise not to make you a slave.

You might suppose that Hollywood, with a significant Jewish faith background, and relatives murdered in Hitler's Nazi concentration camps, would be more sensitive about committing $200 million to a movie being made in the Xinjiang Uigher Region, where there are CCP concentration camps. The Disney crews actually had to drive past some of these CCP camps, that feature torture, sterilization, and forced abortions, on their way to/from the filming areas. It's as if Hollywood has no principles except profits. Oh, wait...

can China destroy the US $
