    You have good memory

    Since 2013, Chan has been a pro-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) politician, having served two terms as a delegate to the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, and, in 2021, expressing his desire to join the CCP.

    Edit: i find it really weird, that he started simpin’ in 2013. Late in his successful actor career, also getting recognition in the USA, he started liking the CCP.

    I don’t get it

      That he started to be a CCP Polititian in 2013 doesn’t mean he wasn’t simping for them before. He probably was just too busy with his career to play an active role in the party. He spoke out in their favour way before this.

      Yeah probably should have just appended to the original message, but felt weird starting with that since I opened his Wikipedia page between the post and edit lol

        I figured, i also took a peek. He was the longest time the greatest for me, loved his movies with Samo Hung. That was a great time for Hong Kong cinema.

        It’s a shame for him to be such an asshat irl.
