Chan, 55, a Hong Kong native and one of the Communist nation's leading stars, had reportedly made the comment at a business forum in the country's Hainan province on April 18.
"I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not. I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want," Contactmusic quoted him as reportedly saying.
After the comments were revealed, he was heavily criticised by pro-democracy groups both in China and worldwide, but his representative has insisted that he was referring to freedom in the entertainment industry and not Chinese society at large.
