Jackie Chan's comment on Democracy-How does that apply to third world countries?

What do you thing about Jackie Chan's comments on Chinese people "needing to be controlled" causing rebuke in Hong Kong and in Taiwan.
He said " I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not," "I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want."

In a way, he was misinterpreted. I also believe some people are not and will not be ready for complete democracy. Most of us want it, but others once they have it abuse it.
As and example, I must cite the regime during Balaguer. Because Balaguer was a strong fist ruler who often did not give free reins, the result was a political new movement among the youth.

Ja,ja,ja,aaahh Do you reeally think he's wrong?
Freddy, this is a fact that developed countries do not take into consideration when dealing with third world countries. Look at the horrendous Iraq war and how disruptive to that middle east area it had been, for along time they will not get a leader like Saddan Hussein who will control all the different rival groups. Now, are living under democracy now?

Cuban communism is better than the Chinese. Confucian communism is only a science now , not a movement.

Intelligent people say all sorts of things about government and freedom every day. Unfortunately some people only bother to listen and protest when a martial arts comedy clown offers his sage wisdom on the topic Maybe we should ask him for his opinion on immigration
