Matthew Continetti, Washington Free Beacon: The Dialectic of Woke
Column: Why politically correct institutions cave to Communist China
Last week a few sharp-eyed members of the audience for Disney’s live-action remake of Mulan noticed something ugly in the credits. The film’s producers thanked, among others, the publicity department of the "CPC Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Committee" as well as the "Turpan Municipal Bureau of Public Security." These are the same political and disciplinary institutions that oppress China’s Uighur minority. Disney cooperated with them without batting an eye.

Lol. Matthew Continetti.
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel, WNU. You can and should do better.
Well, anon...let's hear your side of the story.

"This is the woke dialectic: dissent in America, acquiescence to China."
JFC. The whole article is gibberish designed to placate his masters at AEI.
You have to be a special kind up uptight hack to write something this hackneyed.
Good question. Sure looking like a lot of NPCs...
Nah...CCP is evil. Disney got bought. Now they’re in damage control. Mr WNU is correct.
The NBA are just a bunch of money whores of easy virtue just like the DNC leadership.
