The recent outrage among Chinese Americans about Miley Cyrus’ “slant-eyed” picture scandal went wholly unnoticed here on the mainland, so I was inspired to bring Jackie Chan’s recent comments about freedom for Chinese people to the attention of my Chinese college students and report about it here.

At a recent business conference in Hainan, the island province in the south of China west of Hong Kong, Chan made this comment -

“I’m not sure if it’s good to have freedom or not. 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 the we Chinese need to be controlled. If we’re not being controlled, we’ll just do what we want.”

See all the outragged Chinese students comments!
