Jackie reached out the protesters via Weibo on October 9th with this message:
看新聞得知這次香港的經濟損失高達3500億，真的很着急。我相信每一個香港人都愛香港，都希望香港好！香港美好的明天需要所有人的支持與努力，《國家》的歌詞裏說“没有强的國，哪有富的家”，我願意與大家一起努力，回歸理性，面對未來，愛我們的國家，愛我們的香港。
I found out through the news that Hong Kong’s economic losses reached HK$350 billion and I’m really worried…I believe every Hong Kong resident loves Hong Kong and wishes it well! Hong Kong’s bright tomorrow requires everyone’s support and hard work…In the song "Country," one line goes: "There is no prosperous home without a strong country." I am willing to work hard with everyone and return to rationality, to face the future, love our country, love our Hong Kong.

These people are angry, they can't see if they destroy their own economy, they going to destroy the solid basic of their future. Wish peaceful solution. not only Hong Kong people can see they are Chinese and all the Chinese people must be proud of their countryand their past, but China also should respect the freedom of Hong Kong people.We all living on this Earth, and we must be wise enough to know,that we can never possess any piece of this world only can live in peace together.
I understand Jackie and agree with him <3
It's a difficult situation there. Hong Kong used to be British and the residents had a lot more freedom (of speach) than mainland China. When it was turned over to China they still had privilages. As elections are coming they want to keep those privileges. However, Chinese government wants Hong Kong to be (more) one with China. People in Hong Kong don't want to loose their privileges and freedom the have now and will loose when Hong Kong loses it's special place within China. This is about a lot more than just economics. But I agree, this is going on for very long time now and has a lot of influence on the economic stituarion. Maybe they didn't think it would last for so long as this can be a bad for their future. I hope this can be sorted out in peace and quick
Just saw on the news that roadblocks were removed. Didn't know it was so vast and affected so many people within Hong Kong. We did get the news here that people were let through to go to work. The protesters almost blocked the entire city, that is big and not very good. Hopefully they will read Jackie Chan's call, it will resolve soon and in a peacefull way.
