-- Gongfu movie star Jackie Chan.

THE BACKLASH

"The comments made by Jackie Chan ... show that he is ignorant of democracy. (His) statement is based on the discriminatory view that Chinese people cannot manage themselves and is built on the idea that Chinese are like a herd of sheep that lack self-discipline and self-restraint."

-- A commentary on the Huamei Website, which is run by journalists in China.
