They weren’t cops in Jackie Chan’s Animated Adventures, they’re like secret agents.
Chan plays a cop in the Police Story movies, which would be interesting to look at from a copaganda angle.
It says "ccp" but the "c" looks like an "o". I should've capitalized it.
Ah. I think Jackie Chan wasn’t really a CCP apologist/propagandist until the past ten years or so. He’s from Hong Kong - his movies are actually great to watch if you are learning Mandarin because of how simple his lines are, Mandarin wasn’t his first language. I’m not sure what changed, but being pro-CCP is a relatively new development.
