HONG KONG - Jackie Chan's comments that freedom may not be good for China were taken out of context, his spokesman said Tuesday, while Facebook users and Chinese scholars condemned the veteran actor on the Internet in a spreading backlash.

The 55-year-old star of the " Rush Hour " action films caused a huge uproar after he told a business forum on Saturday that it may not be good for authoritarian China to become a free society .

"I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not," Chan said Saturday, adding freedoms in his native Hong Kong and Taiwan made those societies "chaotic." Taiwan, which split from China in 1949, is democratic and Hong Kong , a separately ruled Chinese territory, enjoys some free elections.

"I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want," he said.

Hong Kong and Taiwanese legislators lashed out at the comments, with some accusing Chan of insulting the Chinese race.

Solon So, the chief executive of Chan's company JC Group and his main spokesman, told The Associated Press in a phone interview Tuesday the actor was referring to freedom in the entertainment industry and not Chinese society at large.

Chan was speaking at a panel discussion about Asian entertainment industries and was asked to discuss movie censorship in China.

"Some people with ulterior motives deliberately misinterpreted what he was saying," So said.

Meanwhile, the public backlash against Chan grew.

A group of Chinese scholars published a letter on the Internet on Monday accusing Chan of "not understanding how precious freedom is," even though "free Hong Kong provided the conditions for you to become an international action star."

A Facebook group set up by Hong Kong users calling for Chan to be exiled to North Korea had drawn more than 2,600 members by Tuesday. The group also posted form letters urging Hong Kong's Baptist University and Academy for Performing Arts to strip Chan of honorary degrees they gave the actor.

The Hong Kong Tourism Board , for which Chan serves as an ambassador, had received 17 complaints as of Monday that his comments "hurt the image of Hong Kong and aren't reflective of Hong Kong people ," a publicist said. She declined to give her name because of company policy.

Opposition Taiwanese politicians on Monday demanded that the city government of Taipei strip Chan of his role as ambassador of the Deaf Olympic Games to be held in the Taiwanese capital in September.


I just found funny this part:
A Facebook group set up by Hong Kong users calling for Chan to be exiled to North Korea had drawn more than 2,600 members by Tuesday. The group also posted form letters urging Hong Kong's Baptist University and Academy for Performing Arts to strip Chan of honorary degrees they gave the actor.


Kind of ironic if you assume that freedom of speech is a prerequisite for a society to be called "free".
This action seems extremely contradictory to what they are preaching.

I'm pretty sure you're in the minority. I'm pretty sure most Americans don't know of any of Chan's non-Hollywood films.

I think most Americans know about them but generally haven't watch them. I never watch the full movie, I mostly just watch the fight scenes on youtube. As for television, every once and a while I see an old dubbed Jackie Chan movie on Spike. They're really fun to watch and the dubbing is hysterically bad!


My two cents:

Who gives a shit if Jackie Chan believes in less freedom for individuals. Just because he may be in a minority doesn't mean he doesn't have a right to believe what he believes. He shouldn't be persecuted for it. Hell, isn't that the point of freedom? Why, strip his degrees away....it's not like he got them for philosophy....

People are such hypocrites.

I don't see much problems with such a comment, anybody is entitled to their own opinion, not whatever people just blindly believe. Maybe he's wrong for believing that having control over the population is bad, but it's nobody's place to say that he deserves to have his titles removed just for this comment?

And that Facebook group .. just unbelievable.

You are a country as long as u can exercise the function of a state in your territory. I dont mind if the 24 "insignificant specks on the map" are swazilan, guinea panama or whatever,the ROC , is a Sovereign territory so by deffinition it is a country, and its also recognized.

Technically speaking, Taiwan is where the true government of China is currently. Eventually we will rise up and defeat the communist insurrectionists and retake our homeland.

But seriously, Jackie Chan makes some sense. I don't really agree with him but "adding freedoms in his native Hong Kong and Taiwan made those societies 'chaotic.'" is partly true. After the KMT got to Taiwan, things were pretty fascist, even if it was "democratic". Relatively speaking though, I think living in Taiwan 50 years ago was much better than living on mainland. My parents from Taiwan were worried about grades growing up while my girlfriends mom (chinese) was more worried about getting enough to eat.

Zeal, the problems you cited has less to do with the freedom questions at hand than it does the lack of aid extended to PRC though, as for how democratic Taiwan was...well, until the first presidential election in the 90s, it wasn't anything close really. KMT had a death grip on the functioning of the country.

Replies getting a bit random though, instead of questioning the validity that Taiwan has as a country, one might be better served concentrating on the actual benefits and flaws of its society.

Well, I think his comment was pretty stupid even if it was historically accurate, at least at face value. I really doubt that if China was to implement a true democratic government like a western country there would be chaos because Chinese people need to be controlled or something. Eventually I think China will implement some sort of democratic government, even if its one full of corruption and bribery. Taiwan could use a little fixing with regards to corruption too if you know what I mean.

As people have already mentioned, criticizing Jackie Chan for his beliefs is rediculous and hypocritical. He can believe and say whatever the shit he wants, after all, it's America.

and Taiwan is not a country btw

I think Jackie Chan is right. China is not ready for democracy yet. But I think China will eventually be a democratic country like the US. Currently, economic growth is the most important thing in China; having the communist party in control will be best for China's economic growth. When the communist party decides to build a bridge, construction starts tomorrow. But in the democratic society like the USA, they argue about the bridge for 10 years, then they pass a bond measure. The will try to build the bridge in 3 years, but delays and rising costs bring another bond measure to the ballot. A oligarchy is better for china's growth.

Yea its kinda silly for people who support freedoms to want to deny him his. I think in reality he was talking about economically, as in they need higher government control until the reach a high point. And everyone will have a diff opinion on the status of Taiwan -_- there was a HUGE thread a while back about it. US + some countries say its a country. China + some countries say its not. No one is going to convince the other side so lets skip the short snide comments "its not a country" or "it is a country" at the end of your comments about the issue that the thread is about.






oh and





Its a country XD

Nope. US recognizes Chinese (PRC) authority over Taiwan and does not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state.

They're trying to change that, of course, but officially, no country of importance (I'm gonna get "clever" remarks about how -insertislandnationhere- is important now) recognizes Taiwan as a country.

- LOL @ the 2600 = Chinese don't give a shit about Chan's comments proof: when a topic sparks Chinese interest in the internetz, then u see replies in the hundreds of thousands
- business as usual, media trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill creating easy shallow news and the classic band wagon of narrow sighted midgets who judge a man by 2 sentences and not his life long deeds
- want meaningful news about Chinese, more than just sentences?

- it sounds like a random link in view of the concerning topic, but it's not; it will address a little of Chinese mentality, u will also get a contrast to the frivolous (if not biased) shit that fills our usual media channels.

Hah, if he were to be deported to N. Korea.. he would become a really big star there, I would venture. There were some Americans who defected to N. Korea during the war, back in the day.. One of them became one of the biggest movie stars in the country, even though his acting abilities were not worth shit...

Also, City Hunter is the best.. I must watch it now. The old Jackie movies are the best! Ooooh.. and Drunken Master also! Great times...

Rush Hour. Two words, three movies. The most popular movies of his over here. An effective line, and no indication of anything other than the author trying to make it relevant to as many people as possible.

I think quite a few people have probably picked up some of his movies, only to find out that they are not in english. Not to mention the movies that end up dubbed after..

arguing about taiwan's sovereignty is a load of empty semantics

taiwan is operating independently of the chinese government, and the prc is unable/unwilling to forcibly capture it.

I think jackie's comment was taken wrongly, but maybe if he worded it differently or if people focused on the whole of it.

Oh yeah
I will OFFICIALLY recognize Taiwan as a US citizen as a separate state today. Why? Because of all the toys that say taiwan on it. And because of Street Fighter.

when i read about this a bit back, many of the comments on it made me think. can jackie be right? this comment in particular on digg by schleufer summed up my thoughts

"In a country that exceeds 1 billion people, I'm not sure it could be governed any other way. Democracy couldn't possibly work for even the most basic fundamentals. Think about population control- China has done what it can to reduce or at least stableize its population by limiting the number of children a couple can have. Would this methodology fly in a Democracy? No. It must become law, it must be forced and enforced.

The problems that arise from this population control are probably less than the population explosion if this was left unchecked."
