Aynne Kokas (Media Studies) co-wrote a column for Nikkei Asian Review about Disney's live-action remake of "Mulan" and Hollywood facing a fresh test in its bid to gain audiences in China without alienating film viewers elsewhere in the world: Disney's magical thinking won't keep politics away from 'Mulan'
