| Actor Jackie Chan attacked (not physically) for saying no need for freedom in China
Quote:
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 comedies 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."

Just like how Miss Cali lost her crown. There's always a "RIGHT" answer.

I hate all the freedom talk with China. If you've actually been there you know it's like mostly capitalist unless you do really stupid shit like walking around saying free tibet. I know China has a lot of problems in the eyes of the western world, but letting them run free all of a sudden would be chaos. Everything takes time.

Capitalism under the cloak of the communism regime is the best way to implement western values in China.

So far, the Chinese one literally owns the American one by trillions of dollar.

that does not make any sense
the thing i hate is when you are in china you can't say shit about government like we do here, oh sure you can talk about it at home that's fine, but you say shit about government or party leaders in the public you are a dead man lolz
chinese people will get really uncomfortable and give you weird looks if you start talking about human rights and freedom of speech & information.

seriously, they couldnt careless you bad mouth the communist government or leaders, because words can't hurt..as long as you don't start burning tires or organize an uprising, theres no problem at all.

No independent media? Internet that is guarded. Restricted sites. I don't know. Granted, they are far better off then say 20 years ago but still.
But OP, jackie chan is a DUMB ASS. Learn to speak intellectually when you're upon stage with BUSINESS leaders.

| To be honest, I didnt' really feel "restricted" while browsing websites in China...
you can go to wikipedia (English), CNN, News website from Taiwan, Japan, etc, yahoo, google..or even porn sites. It's true if you try to type up sites that contain extreme violence or porn or fa lung gong then it will not be accessible, but overall I dont' find or feel it to be "restricted"
I also spoken freely about the communist and Taiwan's democratic government with the workers in my relative's company and seriously, theres no problem..even if you talk about communist and democracy in a Starbucks in Beijing, nobody really gives a damn.
You gotta give the Americans credit for painting China as a drepressed, restricted and evil country when it really is as capitalist as it can be.

oh wow. i actually have been to china when i was a child.
i've never been to darfur or zimbabewe but judging from news sources, i can call a shithole when i see a shitole
if the communist government really didn't care about people badmouthing the government, why did they have to have a application process for protests during the olympics?
you know tiananmen square was only 20 years ago?
