Sadly Jackie has betrayed the people of Hong Kong. In 2009 he stated "I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not.". He also said he was "beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled."

Jackie Chan is not only pro CCP. He also admitted in his book that he threw his toddler son across a room. He is also a deadbeat dad and refuses to acknowledge his lesbian daughter and let her mom to raise her w/o any of his help. People in Hong Kong already know what a POS this guy is, I wish the Western world would catch up already

    Chan was able to whitewash his image with his karate movies, and the animated series. i dont think people in the west know much about his very PRO-CCP stance, and anytime you bring up the daughter, they try to excuse his behaviour. hes trying to recoup some of it, by being a karate film/ cobra kai?
