FILM star Jackie Chan joined other celebrities at yesterday's meeting of China's top advisory body, among some 2,200 members making suggestions to the government.
Nobel literature prizewinner Mo Yan and basketball star Yao Ming also attended the annual meeting of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
The 58-year-old Hong Kong actor, famous in the West for the "Rush Hour" series and "Police Story," kept a low profile outside the meeting.
"I have no way of speaking now, we don't have enough time to elaborate," he told a scrum of reporters opposite Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
Chan, wearing a black shirt and glasses, said merely that he was "very happy" before boarding a bus with Mo Yan.
Towering basketball star Yao was hard to miss as he joined other members to pack into Beijing's cavernous Great Hall of the People alongside top Party and government leaders.
The CPPCC members include prominent citizens such as scientists, business owners and artists.
The members said they would suggest moves to raise farmers' incomes and promote scientific talent as well as administrative reforms to reduce corruption.
