A bit of revelation on newly released Disney feature movie "Mulan" star Liu Yifei (劉亦菲) who openly supports Hong Kong police brutality: Liu's godfather (sugar daddy, rather) Chen Jinfei (陳金飛) is a former Red-Guard-turned-real-estate tycoon, known as a "red capitalist". Chen was named as one of the 50 richest people in China by Forbes magazine. I interviewed Chen in his office in Beijing back in 2000. He's famous for pushing a button on his desk unveiling a giant Chinese national flag behind him in his office whenever there're Western visitors.
His office walls were adorned with framed quotes from Mao Zedong's Little Red Book -- Chen became a Red Gurad at age 12. He's heavily in bed with the Chinese Communist Party. I saw him taking a phone call from a Communist Party district secretary while having dinner with me. He cut short the phone call as he wanted to eat undisturbed. He boasted to me it was just a district secretary!
So it's not surprising that Liu posted on social media her support for Hong Kong police in 2019, when the cops were violently crushing HK's pro democracy movement, killing and injuring scores of innocent people and arresting some 10,000, the youngest was only 11 years old.
