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.”
I remember how a giant stink was made when the information was made public, then virtually nothing happened.
Isn’t he some spokesperson for the CCP?
Yeah he fell in after what they did to Alibaba’s billionaire Jack Ma
Yep, he’s changed his tune significantly. There’s accusations of them getting leverage on him through his family, but his own personal convictions outside geopolitics are also pretty reprehensible in recent years, so either the CCP hand is so far up his ass we can’t see the elbow anymore, or he’s changed.
His son got caught with drugs and faced death penalty.
either the CCP hand is so far up his ass
Kompromat.
Are there any Chinese mega-celebs that are anti-CCP (that are actually able to return)?
When it’s financially beneficial to support the current regime, it’s normal to have celebrities singing the same tune, more so for the one that will prosecute for speaking out.
