Jackie Chan thinks freedom is sad and depressing.

I have no idea how he really feels, but what do you expect him to say?  He and his family all live in a communist country and he was told to go make a statement by the government of that country.
He *expletive deleted*s up that statement and he and his family could very well end up in one of those camps that churn out organ "donors".

About as much as I generally have for actor/hypocrite types. In other words, a "modicum."

He's expressed similar sentiments before.  He's called us a corrupt nation, said Chinese need to be controlled:

Jackie has always been a communist.  He's made statements like this his entire career.
