'John Wick' and 'Star Wars: Rogue One' actor Donnie Yen faces calls for the Oscars to revoke his invitation to the 95th Academy Awards over his pro-China sentiments.
"It wasn’t a protest, okay, it was a riot," Yen told GQ in an interview published late last month.
"I’m not going to be here talking about how to change how people feel about it. But my own experience, like, I was there, I have many friends who were there. I don’t want to get political. A lot of people might not be happy for what I’m saying, but I’m speaking from my own experience," he added. Yen also defended China during the interview, claiming that Western media tends to mischaracterize the country, saying,"The BBC, CNN, they never talk about that [China's advancements]. They never mention the true side of it. But I’m there, you know?"
