Jackie Chan has sponsored a bill urging Beijing to introduce laws to protect China’s “national dignity” from insults.
This week Mr Chan was in attendance as a delegate at the congress, where state media reported “patriotic discussions” were taking place about protecting the country’s “national dignity”.
Mr Chan has not commented publicly on the bill, but the Hong Kong-born action star has previously spoken in favour of China’s authoritarian rule.
Insulting the Chinese national flag, emblem and anthem is already punishable under the country’s law.
