jackie chan's controversial "control" comments

Came across this odd headline today: Jackie Chan: Chinese people need to be controlled. Jackie Chan was recently participating in a panel at the annual Boao Forum in Hainan, when he was asked to discuss censorship and restrictions on filmmakers in China... and replied with comments that could clearly be construed as supportive of one-party rule.

The action star apparently hasn't been a vocal supporter of the pro-democracy movement in his hometown of Hong Kong, but this sounds like he's coming around to a stance. I wonder if he'll catch any kind of flack for this... oh wait, that didn't take very long: Jackie Chan's China comments prompt backlash.
