It seems wealthy martial arts film star Jackie Chan thinks the Chinese people have too much freedom.
"I'm really confused now. If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic. Taiwan is also chaotic.
"I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled," he continued. "If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want."
The comments were met with approval at the high-profile annual conference, which was attended by the Chinese premier, Wen Jiabao, but have drawn the condemnation of lawmakers in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Seems the pro capitalist communist premier agrees. Too much freedom is obviously a bad thing.
Interesting don't you think?
