HONG KONG - The anti-government protests that have roiled Hong Kong for four months have also split the city’s influential entertainment community, with stars who weigh in doing so at the risk of alienating fans on either side of the often-bitter divide.
Tam’s measured response on his Weibo-like Twitter account - “People with different political stances have different reactions. They don’t respect me, but I respect them. I will go eat again next time” - won him plaudits on mainland Chinese social media. Action star Jackie Chan has long pledged his allegiance to Beijing, describing himself in August as a “flag-bearer” after protesters in Hong Kong desecrated China’s national flag.
In 2000, China banned top Taiwan pop singer Chang Hui-mei for a year after she performed at the inauguration of Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian, viewed by Beijing as a dangerous separatist.
