Oh god damn it.
Gotta maintain your social credit score I guess... Anything to keep from vanishing

It's such an oddly written statement. Almost seems like she's saying "I support HK police and they can beat me".
If that "celebrity" supports authoritarianism?
Yes
It's not like this thread is called "Disney's Mulan Actress Liu Yifei: I like Green more than Blue" or something
Social Credit is a great system and we should all praise the mighty Poo 🐻
It refers to someone at the HK airport who reportedly said they supported HK police and then were attacked by protesters
It was what that reporter said before he got beaten and tied up
I was thinking that about the Shapiro thread from before but I realised that...I didn't have to read it or post in it. Wasn't worth the energy. You don't have to post/read every thread about every opinion of every "celebrity".
I see. I knew about the incident but not the what he said specifically.
Yeah but I mean it's not news. It'd be news if she supported the protestors
No sane people would commit career suicide just because it is "the right thing"
Some celebrities attached to big projects should learn to shut the fuck up for the sake of the production. Some just don't have the cognitive development and nous to refrain from being a moron.
She's from the mainland, so of course those are her views. I'd have been genuinely surprised if she'd felt otherwise.
Not sure vocalizing her opinions was the wisest thing.

Would she have committed career suicide if she just decided to not speak out in support of mass police brutality and Chinese imperialism?
...But this was an unforced admission, she wasn't being asked her opinion on this topic, she retweeted something and added a comment that was supportive of police brutality. There were so many ways to avoid this, but she did this because she wanted to, her career wasn't on the line.
Over tax evasion, that's a hugely different story.
She could have kept her mouth shut.
We wouldn't know. Given how fucked up it is in China, I am not surprised if someone forced her to post this

Doesn't it just say 'you can beat/hit me'?
My Mandarin is a bit rusty. Still seems like a weird statement.
Sure. Sure it was.
Funny how people want to criticize the regime, but then believe their bullshit cover stories when it suits them. 🤷♂️
Also i like how you have no problem with being secretly detained in a secret prison for months just for tax evasion, even if that was true.
Jackie Chan by far the biggest CCP shill and he is from HK. But everyone giving him a pass I dont know why?
I'm not okay with it. When did I say I was okay with it? I'm just stating that Liu Yifei could've kept her mouth shut without any repercussions whereas you're comparing a person who has committed a federal crime. It was widely known that she tax evaded and the country had proof that she undertook the actions.
It doesn't exactly look like that to me, and even if it was that's still not a good excuse. That's especially true for Disney who will no doubt do nothing over this despite having the freedom to remove her from the film and get an actor who doesn't openly condone police brutality.
Yeah it's probably best not to say anything. If someone said they supported the Israeli government they would be equally called out.
Nobody is giving Jackie Chan a pass (i don't think). The guy is a disgrace as a human being. He runs around telling Chinese people shouldn't be free and need to be controlled. But this topic is not about him.
