Netizens showed mixed responses to Jackson’s sudden praise of China during his concert. 

Chinese netizens poured out compliments for Jackson’s bold remark, saying “He was cool”, “He’s such a patriotic man”, etc.

On the other hand, Internet users in other countries showed opposite reactions, saying “We cannot let him, his hair color, his clothes, his tattoos, the bottle of alcohol in his hand, and his dirty words appear on the screen”, “You were able to make such remarks because freedom of expression is guaranteed and you can curse in this foreign”, etc.

In 2019, he retweeted a hashtag posted on CCTV’s official Weibo account managed by the Chinese Communist Party. The hashtag was created by CCTV to promote “One China Policy”.
