BEIJING, July 3 (UPI) -- Hong Kong-born film star Jackie Chan, a spokesman for the August Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, said he doesn't think sports and politics should be mixed.
"It is sad, very sad," Chan told The Independent newspaper about the way some protesters are using the international sporting event to spotlight China's human rights record in Tibet.
"But I am the Olympic ambassador and I just want to say: Olympics is Olympics. You cannot mix sports with politics. Olympics for me is love, peace, united. In every country when they have (the) Olympics, a lot of people come out opposed. This year everyone is concentrated on China but it doesn't just happen in China, it happens everywhere," the martial art expert told the British newspaper.
