Legislators in Chinese-speaking regions that enjoy free elections on Sunday, April 19, 2009, lashed out at Jackie Chan after the "Rush Hour" star questioned if freedom was a good thing for China, accusing him of insulting his own race. The 55-year-old action star said at a business forum in the southern Chinese island province Hainan on Saturday that a free society may not be beneficial for authoritarian mainland China.
