Since 2013, Chan has been a pro-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) politician, having served two terms as a delegate to the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and, in 2021, expressing his desire to join the CCP.
Edit: i find it really weird, that he started simpin' in 2013. Late in his successful actor career, also getting recognition in the USA, he started liking the CCP.
I don't get it
Edit 2: hemko edited his comment, that's why my linktext "you have good memory" doesn't make any sense. They do indeed have a good memory, so it's at least correct.
That he started to be a CCP Polititian in 2013 doesn't mean he wasn't simping for them before. He probably was just too busy with his career to play an active role in the party. He spoke out in their favour way before this.

Yeah probably should have just appended to the original message, but felt weird starting with that since I opened his Wikipedia page between the post and edit lol
I figured, i also took a peek. He was the longest time the greatest for me, loved his movies with Samo Hung. That was a great time for Hong Kong cinema.
a shitty father for publicly shaming his son for cannabis use
This was probably mostly due to pressure from the public. For all we know he might actually not consider cannabis use a problem. You have no idea how much hate and poopoo cannabis gets here in East Asia. Not denouncing his son then would be career suicide.
Ultimately, both being a simp for the CCP and denouncing his son's cannabis use serve a single purpose: get them juicy thicc Chinese Yuan. Of course, that doesn't make CCP-simping or son-shaming okay, but if I were to be a actor in Hong Kong, I might also consider doing the same.
