September 8, 2020 (Tony Cartalucci - ATN) - One of Thailand's "student activists," Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal made Western headlines as he toed Washington's anti-Chinese rhetoric by calling for a ban of Disney's new movie, Mulan.
Netiwit and others calling for a "ban" on the movie have hypocritically complained about any and all attempts to rein in their own speech and activities as an assault on "freedom of expression." Now that it is a point of view they disagree with - they would like to see it silenced.
The cause for the call to ban is Mulan actress Liu Yifei's support for Hong Kong's police in confronting violent US-funded mobs who for months burned down Hong Kong's public infrastructure, attacked businesses of perceived political enemies, and even burned an old man alive simply for confronting their violent vandalism.
Bangkok Post's article, "Netizens call for 'Mulan' film boycott," would claim:
This is illustrated by Mulan's solid performance at the box office, particularly in Netiwit's home country of Thailand, unaffected by the call to ban the movie. On September 11, 2020 the movie will open in China where it is likely to perform even better despite US-funded agitators like Joshua Wong - whom Netiwit has repeatedly met in Hong Kong - calling for a similar ban.
Bangkok Post's article, "Netizens call for 'Mulan' film boycott," would claim:
Student activist Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal on Thursday tweeted calling for a ban of Mulan. He used the hashtags #BoycottMulan and #BanMulan. His tweet has been shared almost 52,000 times and gained 13,400 likes as of yesterday.The number of shares are irrelevant since the so-called "Milk Tea Alliance" has been revealed to consist mainly of bots and sock puppet accounts designed specifically to manufacturer the illusion of public concensus and does not reflect actual concensus.
Thai and foreign media reported that Thais had joined the "Milk Tea Alliance" in the Mulan boycott.
This is illustrated by Mulan's solid performance at the box office, particularly in Netiwit's home country of Thailand, unaffected by the call to ban the movie. On September 11, 2020 the movie will open in China where it is likely to perform even better despite US-funded agitators like Joshua Wong - whom Netiwit has repeatedly met in Hong Kong - calling for a similar ban.

Netiwit - a regular guest at Western embassies in Bangkok and currently involved in ongoing US-funded protests against the Thai government - has regularly attacked China both online and through protests he and his followers have staged at the Chinese embassy in Thailand.

Netiwit's hypocrisy doesn't end with his demands that he and his followers be allowed to say as they please while seeking to punish others for different points of view. He and those like him are "pro-democracy" and "pro-human rights" activists who coddle the worst violators of human rights of the 21st century while serving as willing accomplices in attacking their competitors.
When Netiwit can come to grips with the actual, worst threat to global peace and stability rather than clicking wine glasses with it inside its embassy - then perhaps the world can take him and the movement he represents seriously. Until then, he is a mere and transparent extension of the US State Department and its equally transparent war on China's rise in both the region, and upon the global stage.
