I wouldn't read too much about it. Especially in China where celebrities get into big trouble for voicing the wrong opinion. They probably posted it because their publishers and managers told them to do so to win some favors with the government.

New account, no other posts, anonymous name, nothing to see here move along

Happens in America too, celebs today are one bad take away from being ‘canceled’

They arn’t being cancelled by the government. And they arn’t speaking out for fear of being disappeared by the government.

I don’t like the US government, but there is no equivalency with China.

Do you seriously think that celebrities are scared to say bad things about their government/president? And if they do, that there will be repercussions?

You can't be serious right?

Based on personal experience, there are in fact some Chinese that are surprised to learn Americans can criticize the president with no repercussions.

base on personal experience, Chinese can be surprised to learn Americans would criticized the president, but won't be surprised to learn Americans can criticize the president with no repercussions. Otherwise, Hollywood is doing a very bad job.
