Last month Coda’s Isobel Cockerell reported how investors were being urged to pull their money out of companies that have links to China’s ongoing mass internment and forced labor campaign in the northwestern region of Xinjiang.

Investor Alliance of Human Rights, a non-profit initiative focusing on responsible business conduct, published a report where it urged investors to assess companies’ human rights impact on minorities in Xinjiang. 

Last week, The Walt Disney Company came under fire from human rights activists who called for a boycott of the studio’s latest release, “Mulan”, after it emerged that the $200 million live-action film, which was partly shot in Xinjiang, ends with thanks to several government institutions, including the Xinjiang government's publicity department. 

Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong was among those who promoted the hashtags #BoycottMulan and #BanMulan on Twitter.
