Actor’s Support for Tibetan Culture Sparks Boycott Calls for New Film
Keanu Reeves is facing criticism from Chinese nationalists following his decision to participate in the upcoming Tibet House US Benefit Concert. The concert, scheduled for March 3, marks its 35th annual event, with Reeves among the headlining performers, alongside artists like Patti Smith, Trey Anastasio, and Jason Isbell.
The backlash stems from Reeves’ apparent support for Tibetan cultural preservation, a cause that has long been controversial in China. As a result, some Chinese citizens are calling for a boycott of his latest film, The Matrix Resurrections. The controversy highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding Tibet and its political status, which remain sensitive topics in China.
