As far as I know, the Shaolin temple in China under the communist regime teaches and practices sequences of Modern Wushu, which is now getting promoted as an Olympic sport. Jet Li is a former all China champion of modern Wushu. The forms and movements are fancyful and have elements of traditional Kungfu and Gymnastics. However for fighting they use a varient of kickboxing. The traditional Kungfu training is lacking in the part of Jet Li. Jackie Chan has learned bits and pieces of many traditional Kungfu styles. However the authenticity of Drunken Kungfu is also doubtful. It appears that Drunken Kungfu was also formed by the Communist government in the 1970s along with Modern Wushu.
As a Kungfu practitioner who tried out Modern Wushu as well as traditional styles like Wing Chun Kungfu and Jow Ga Kungfu, I would like to say that real fighting skill comes with the practice of traditional Kungfu and not Modern Wushu.
