Nothing wrong with being proud of one's nationality or country.

Jackie Chan on the other hand is against free speech, thinks Chinese people can't handle freedom and that they need to be controlled for their own good.

Aren't all those things the particular American idea of what government should be?

Why should the Chinese agree with it?

Because of the white man's burden? Or because some countries think their way (e.g. related to how to govern etc) is the only way? China has millennia old tradition and preference for a confucianism in government, where it's all about cohesion and harmony.

Doesn't sound particularly controversial. I've heard dafter things from American politicians and celebrities.
