"In his mind, there's no such thing as democracy. He likes to be enslaved. That was why he said Chinese need to be controlled," he told reporters.
Chan five years ago enraged supporters of then-Taiwanese president Chen Shui-bian by describing the 2004 presidential election as "the biggest joke in the world".
Netizens set up at least two groups on the social networking site Facebook attacking Chan and calling for a boycott of his movies.
One group, with more than 3,100 members, said Chan should be sent to North Korea.
