Depend on how much a person knows about him. Chinese population is maybe 1.4 billion, hence it must be difficult to have a summary of everyone's opinions, right?

While some rich Chinese people travel to HK on holidays, attend Jackie Chen or his son's ceremonies, there are also lots of Chinese people who never afforded the premium TV fee, which means very restricted choices of TV programs available. They might have only watched one or two movies by Jackie Chen, let alone knowing about his gossips.

If two people share the same culture background, are they supposed to react similarly to one same thing? If anyone has enough conscience as a responsible human being in modern age, has enough empathy for the Chinese people suffering in poverty and oppression, and has enough sense of shame , why would their feelings be different about  his adultery, his gossip,he and his son "dating" the same actress?

Don't really feel like to spend any second thinking about him.  Tool or not, I don't know. Who can use this tool anyway? Does Jackie Chen enjoy being a tool? Isn't it all about money?  But obviously no personal admiration at all.  Ambassador for the country's culture/image/film industry? Is he? What kind of image is he presenting to the world?
