Jackie Chan's son could reportedly face death penalty at the worst case scenario of his recent drug bust. According to a report from Inquisitr, the drug case of Jaycee Chan comes at a very bad time for the movie star's family as the Chinese government's drug war continues to escalate.
According to the report, Deputy Secretary General of the National Narcotics Control Commission Yeng Fengrui said that China's general population is in favor of imposing death penalty to drug violators.
"The Chinese masses applaud giving the death penalty to drug traffickers. Drug trafficking has severe social consequences. It's equal to killing people," he said.
However, Jackie Chan's son might still be saved from this possibility as his action star father is a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The Inquisitr report said the "Rush Hour" star's position is said to hold a certain favor with China's government.
Whether death penalty is even a serious possibility for Jaycee Chan, the aspiring actor and singer could reportedly bid his potential showbiz career goodbye. According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, a total of 16 leading film and TV companies in China have issued a joint statement announcing that they would "not hire any stars involved in prostitution, gambling or drug abuse" for showbiz projects.
The ban is said to be in line with a series of high-profile drug busts in China involving people in the film community, said The Hollywood Reporter. The movement comes as the Chinese government escalates its nationwide war against drugs, with Chinese President Xi Jinping promising he would "harshly crack down" various crimes, including drug-related cases.
According to a Daily Mail report, Jaycee Chan was reportedly arrested at his Beijing home for possession of more than 3.5 ounces of marijuana. Chinese police have confirmed the discovery of drugs at the home of Jackie Chan's son.
Arrested along with Jaycee was his friend Kai Ko, a Taiwanese movie star. He and Jaycee Chan tested positive for drug use.
Kai Ko has also released a statement in line with the drug bust, reported by Inquisitr. "I was wrong on this issue. I made a mistake. There is no excuse for it. I was wrong," the 23-year-old actor said.
"I never realized that Kai Ko is more than just a name for myself. It also means a lot to those who support and love me. It was out of my expectations that anything concerning 'Kai Ko' could have such a big impact on others," he added.
