Film star Jackie Chan joined other celebrities Sunday at a meeting of China's highest-profile advisory body, a move seen by analysts as an attempt by the ruling Communist Party to cultivate "soft power".

在上周日開幕的政協會議上，人們不僅見到了影星成龍，也見到了其他名流的身影。外媒援引分析人士的話稱，執政黨中國共產黨試圖以此培養“軟實力”。

Nobel literature prizewinner Mo Yan and basketball star Yao Ming also attended the annual meeting of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), organised by the party.

諾貝爾文學獎得主莫言和籃球名將姚明也參加了政協會議。

The 58-year-old, famous in the West for the "Rush Hour" series and "Police Story", kept a low profile outside the meeting.

58歲的成龍在會場外非常低調。他因《尖峰時刻》系列影片及《警察故事》而為西方觀眾所熟知。

Chan, wearing a black shirt and glasses, said merely that he was "very happy" before boarding a bus with Mo Yan.

成龍身穿一件黑襯衫，戴著眼睛。在和莫言一起登車前，他僅對記者表示自己“很開心”。

Professor Sonny Ho, co-director at Hong Kong's Centre for Greater China Studies, has said Chan was selected to attend the CPPCC because it was thought his stardom could help promote ties with Hong Kong.

香港教育學院大中華研究中心的教授盧兆興說，選擇成龍參加政協是因為認為他的明星身份有助于促進（內地）與香港的關系。
