Jackie Chan Makes People Angry

[MRevelle83]

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.

"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.

not a freedom lubber.

In Jackie's defense, I'm really not sure a completely free and governmentless society would work all that well (i.e. Libertarianism), but China's system is by no means the model of good government.

He could have worded it better.

"CHINA WOULDN'T WORK UNDER AN ANARCHY BUT LIMITED GOVERNMENT CONTROL IS GOOD!"

Doesn't China have more to worry about besides what some actor said? Jesus Christ.

Anyway, he's right. Why would we give a culture that believes killing and eating sharks enhances their sexual performance more freedom, I think they got enough?? :VVVV

China beat dogs to death in the street because their president didnt like dogs and then again in a freakout over rabies, and then gathered up and killed thousands of stray animals getting ready for the olympics.

HEY, CHINA STILL COOL.

Re: Jackie Chan Makes People Angry

even if the current government suddenly dissolves, a new one would form the next day and continue controlling the masses. freedom is good, but a country has to be ready to accept the responsibilities of being free - be able to support a free society. at present, jackie is probably right.

once china got a taste of freedom i dont doubt even jackie would be surprised at how quickly the country would crave keeping it. look at how hard tiwan has fought to keep its freedom.
