Hong Kong-born action star Jackie Chan wants to join the Chinese Communist Party.
For years, Jackie Chan (67) seems to have admired the Chinese Communist Party (CP). Now the Hong Kong-born actor, stuntman and director, who is best known for his roles in countless action and martial arts films, apparently wants to join the state party. .
He can see “the size” of the party
“I want to become a member of the Communist Party,” said the action star during a symposium in Beijing, in which selected Chinese filmmakers are said to have participated. There he also said: “I can see the size of the Communist Party, which will deliver what it promises not in a hundred years, but only in a few decades.”
Chan, who also works as a singer, was most recently part of a theater production to celebrate the party’s 100th anniversary. He had expressed his closeness to the KP several times in the past. In 2004 he described the democratic presidential elections in Taiwan as “a huge joke”, and later he was invited to join the Political Consultative Conference of the Chinese People (CPPCC), an offshoot of the National People’s Congress.
For some time now, Chan has been distancing himself from the Hong Kong democracy movement. The activist Glacier Kwong (24): “We do not believe that he should still be seen as a role model.”
