he's not wrong about the corruption thing

 

every country has corruption... just that it's in different shape in each country

[Kiadaw]

I slowly lose respect of this guys over the year. He is just trying to score points with what is now his biggest Audiences, Mainland China.

 

In the past, when you hear him refering himself even as Chinese, mostly as Hongkonger then.

China is more corrupt in general, and corruption is spread across the country, from small towns to big cities, at all levels of society.

 

America's corruption nestles more at the top, with those in powerful positions. And they ARE very powerful, for example the financial lords, media lords, the weapons lords, etc. The majority of the population is not corrupt at all.

Aiyoh, just watch the movies and enjoy the action. There's no need to go beyond Jackie Chan.

I think he hit his head too many times in his stunts over many years of filming action movies.

 

Some comments he should just keep to himself.

Huh ? Didn't the same US paper report about Psy anti-Americanism only last Dec only weeks before he was to perform in USA?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/st...7f7b_story.html

 

 

In 2004, Psy walked onto the stage at a massive performance meant to protest the large U.S. military presence in South Korea. .... As the crowd cheered him on, Psy lifted a large model of a U.S. tank and, to cheers and applause, smashed it against the stage.

 

Now think why Washington Post uses the same "anti-Americanisms" in its headers in Dec as they do now on Jackie?

Why this timing? To force an apology from Jackie?

 

I though US media supports "freedom of expression"?

 

Or do I see a double standard here?
