Such is the censorship power which China yields...

"A French museum has postponed an exhibit about the Mongol emperor Genghis Khan citing interference by the Chinese government, which it accuses of trying to rewrite history.The Château des ducs de Bretagne history museum in the western city of Nantes said it was putting the show about the fearsome 13th century leader on hold for over three years.
The museum’s director, Bertrand Guillet, said: “We made the decision to stop this production in the name of the human, scientific and ethical values that we defend.”

It said the Chinese authorities demanded that certain words, including “Genghis Khan,” “Empire” and “Mongol” be taken out of the show. Subsequently they asked for power over exhibition brochures, legends and maps.
The spat comes as the Chinese government has hardened its discrimination against ethnic Mongols, many of whom live in the northern province of Inner Mongolia.
The exhibit was planned in collaboration with the Inner Mongolia Museum in Hohhot, China. But tensions arose, the Nantes museum said, when the Chinese Bureau of Cultural Heritage pressured the museum for changes to the original plan, “including notably elements of biased rewriting of Mongol culture in favour of a new national narrative”.
The museum branded it “censorship” and said it underlined a “hardening … of the position of the Chinese government against the Mongolian minority”.
The Chinese consulate in Paris did not immediately return calls for comment."

Added to this is the fact that millions of Uighers are in concentration camps.


How do western elites react?

Well, the French museum just pulls the plug instead of going with what they have.

As for the Americans, Disney shot "Mulan" down the road from a huge Uigher concentration camp. Apparently it didn't bother the executives or the actors.

This is the new world.
