Chinese Government Thinks Christian Bale Ought To Be 'Embarrassed'

And also you thought Bane was Batman's greatest antagonist. Following his scuffle with government government bodies in China a week ago, Christian Bale continues to be known as by the Chinese government to be an opportunist searching to "create news." Bale was detained by Chinese pads a week ago as he tried to see Chen Guangcheng, a blind civil privileges activist and lawyer that has been under house arrest in China for more than a year after protecting "1000's of ladies who have been sufferers of forced sterilizations and abortions." "I am not brave carrying this out,Inch Bale told CNN. "The neighborhood those who are standing towards the government bodies and insisting ongoing to go to Chen and the family and becoming beaten up for this and my understanding gets detained for this -- I wish to support what they are doing." About their own insufficient bravery, it appears china government concurs. "If anybody ought to be embarrassed it is the relevant actor, not china side," Liu Weimin, a Chinese ministry spokesperson, told Reuters. "Things I understand would be that the actor was asked through the director Zhang Yimou to go to the film premiere. He wasn't asked to the village in Shandong to produce news or create a film. If he really wants to create news, I do not think that might be welcomed by China." Bale stars in 'The Flowers of War,' concerning the infamous Rape of Naking in 1937. As Bale's publicist told Huffington Publish, the Batman star was "there for work" and was "just really managed to move on an individual level," and that's why he tried to see Chen.
