,” there are increasingly slim odds that residents of the world’s largest film market will get to see Marvel’s first Asian superhero on the big screen.
“‘Shang-Chi’s’ take on Chinese elements is so much better than that of ‘Mulan,’” one wrote. “Although the Chinese accents of the American-born Chinese and Hong Kong stars was a bit hard to get through, they were done with sincerity.” Pointing out a “Shang-Chi” fight scene prominently featuring a giant digital billboard ad for major Chinese e-commerce company Jingdong, one exasperated blogger asked: “If ‘Shang-Chi’ is insulting China, why don’t you boycott Jingdong next?”Unfortunately for Marvel and Chinese exhibitors alike, “Shang-Chi” hits at a time when China-born stars with foreign passports are under fire for profiting in the country while holding foreign citizenship.
More problematic still for nationalists is a 2017 interview in which Liu discusses his family’s immigrant background in a video celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary, which began circulating on Chinese social media last week.

What do you expect from comic that was created by 2 white men during a time where Asian stereotype was widely accepted and made fun of? Marvel never really thought this thru
TheDragonFeeder who cares, let's stop talking about China. focus on our own people.
Good. Americans should be taught a hard lesson or two about this shit. Hollywood will roll out money for stopasianhate videos but they won't stop vilifying china, trading in orientalist stereotypes and making sinophobic movies while pretending like it's authentically chinese.
China 1
These woke librals gotta understand that in order to make money and keep their business afloat, you need to suppress your inner left BS and keep it cool with unnecessary remarks.
You know what? Banning the movie will get it even more attention. You can’t buy that amount of publicity!!! It’s now about to go into outer stratospheres!!!
China bans movies, books, comics, porn, music, journalism etc. but the real threat for the West comes from within from white supremacists AND radical leftists (feminists & socialists) who want to purify the 'rotten West' by adopting authoritarian measures.
why the ' ' around Shang Chi?
