Only days after Hong Kong’s largest demonstration since the 2014 Umbrella Movement, a local youth group has posted a video showing prominent celebrities, athletes, and businessmen coming together to belt out China’s national anthem.

The group boasts 200 of Hong Kong’s most elite residents, including Cantopop singer Alan Tam, Olympic diving champion Guo Jingjing, business magnate Allan Zeman, and, of course, Jackie Chan.

Chan’s inclusion in the video should come as no surprise. The actor has never been shy about voicing his pro-Beijing feelings or, quite literally, singing China’s praises.

Meanwhile, many Hongkongers have a less friendly relationship with China’s national anthem, often booing it at sporting events. HKFP notes that this latest patriotic music video has been mocked online for showing an elderly woman rising out of her wheelchair as the anthem begins to play (happens around 50 seconds in).
