Jackie Chan's comments on China

Recently, Jackie Chan commented on the freedom given to Chinese and sparked a controversy within the community. This was one of his comments:

Quote:
"I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not," Chan said Saturday. "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."

Apart from this comment, he was speaking about the corporate goverance in China and he preferred Japanese TVs compared to China TVs. The melamine issue in China has brought alot of scrutiny to the operations of the China companies and aparently, he is very disturbed.

Quote:
The action hero complained that Chinese goods still have too many quality problems. He became emotional when discussing contaminated milk powder that sickened tens of thousands of Chinese babies in the past year.

Speaking fast with his voice rising, Chan said, “If I need to buy a TV, I’ll definitely buy a Japanese TV. A Chinese TV might explode.”
