While Chan's sentiments were applauded by live audience members, the situation on social was somewhat different. Netizens did not take too fondly to Chan's comments, with several of them mocking him for his lifestyle.
One netizen said that while there is no doubt over Chan's patriotism and professionalism, the issue lies with his lifestyle and that it does not align with the Communist Party. Another commented that it was disgusting how Chan got himself embroiled in extramarital affairs. It was widely reported previously that Chan had an affair with Hong Kong actress Elaine Ng in and both had a daughter named Etta. One even commented that while Chan might be an anti-drug ambassador, he is unable to control his son who was previously slapped with a six-month jail sentence for using marijuana.
Meanwhile, another netizen said Chan was probably not serious about his statement and only said it as a result of the occasion, while one commented that he will not be able to survive politics. Those on Twitter also criticised Chan for being a hypocrite.

The turbulent anti-government protests that have roiled Hong Kong for years have also split its entertainment industry. Celebrity figures like Chan and Ip Man star Donnie Yen , who is featured in the upcoming Disney live-action reboot of Mulan, are rewarded for loyalty in promoting China and the Communist Party. But fellow veteran Hong Kong stars like actor Chow Yun-fat and Cantopop singer Denise Ho , who have thrown their support behind the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement, have paid the price with their careers.
