Its not that complicated. Mercs going to other teams or countries for better pay etc has always been a thing. They are just mad because Gu has 2 gold and 3 silver Olympic medals that all went to China. No one gives a crap about all those others mercs who repped China because they never won anything significant there. Sadly the short track speed skating team this olympic flopped and the Hungarian Liu Brothers or Lim Hyo-jun didn't win anything so people don't really care about them. A lot of mercs who join China either were rejects in their own countries or way past their prime which is clearly not the case with Gu.I believed Eileen Gu made a smart financial decision. She is one of the highest paid women Olympian because she constantly getting advertisements. Eileen is worth 50 million now.
Had she represented America, she wouldn't earn much. Asians like Chloe or Suni Lee are only worth 5-10 million. And Ayless Lu only netted 500K.
It is the same for professional workers. Many oversea Chinese professionals are going back to China to work. Probably due to higher salary and less scrutiny.
Still hoping Gu wins gold in halfpipe in 2 days. Just to stick it to everyone.
