If I understand correctly, it has nothing to do with it conflicting their image of Mulan, I see it as more because Mulan may have actually existed, it becomes disrespectful to her memory to paint her or portray her differently than she was. And I completely understand that, and can understand how especially someone from the Culture within which she was most known and which she was a part of can get particularly offended at her being portrayed differently than she actually was. Yeah, I can see that, but I stand by what I said. XD

Besides, iirc, it's generally accepted that Mulan did not exist. However, that's pretty moot, as she's an icon in her country.
