Xi should invite David West to Beijing and comment on events. He's extremely based and knows worlds politics. And immune because of his African American ethnicity.
Why asking Nathan about Peng Shuai? Did she ask every US Olympian about Peng Shuai? Or does she think Nathan is somehow more qualified to speak about the matter because he happens to be ethnically Chinese? Seems pretty racist if you ask me.
Current level of garbage racist "journalist" that are in Asia. Completely incompetent or propagandist or both?
Guy orders a italian dish called "spagetti aglio e olio" which translates to plain spagetti with oil+garlic, proceeds to complain on twitter that his dish is plain spagetti

I don't understand what this even accomplishes for them, it just makes them look like spoiled children.

Does any part of it need clarification? I think I've expressed that quite clearly.
Most people just glance at the final medal tally. It agrees with what I said that gold medalists are mostly anonymous.
You did not read that correctly. I meant that of all the gold medals that China and the US won, Asians took the biggest share. That's true of the summer Olympics and of the Winter Olympics because China's gold medals are 100% Chinese people (minus half a person for Gu), so that as long as a medal or 2 on the American side was earned by an Asian person, the majority of the gold medals between China and the US belong to Asians.
The myth is indeed that the US has more medals and if a few Asians pulled out of the US team, China would take top spot. So I blame them; I blame every negative perception of Asian athleticism on them. Because if it were not for them, one could proudly declare that China wins the most Gold medals of any nation at the Olympics and we use only Chinese people to do it. But because of these Asians that earned their medals for the US, now there's a myth and it looks like the US is on top because it's a majority Caucasian nation and that is more athletic than an Asian nation.
This is a funny fantasy. Who can be targeted by a hate crime in his own home by other family members? Whose words can be overruled by a majority in their own home? Asians are always guests in America, labor to work on someone else's home and those who don't see that can see no further than a purse and an easy life.
I have no idea where you were trying to go with that.
This is true; I have previously touched on this because a person of maximized value but some patriotism can do much more than a person who has given himself and sacrificed everything from day one in the name of patriotism. Some people who have maximized their value realize that it's time to give back, but others never do. It's a calculated risk from Deng's era that this would ultimately benefit China, and it has, or China might be just a big North Korea. However, those who have maximized their value and have much to give, but have lost themselves finding it, remain a source of disappointment. It's like a person's body made it through but their mind got stuck and failed to grow properly. They failed to realize love and respect for their own blood and true identity.
There is no guarantee for anything in life. Athletes can become injured any day and have to retire. But as far as reasonable calculations go, her mother and grandmother saw what she could become and decided to take that chance. It could not possibly have paid off better than it did. I said I appreciate what she did, but I don't believe she would have done it if it required sacrifice rather than entitle her to enrichment. I've said it all in the last post. She is not a hero but a .

Why are the Japanese and Koreans so obsessed with figure skating?

He also turned down the saturation in his photo to make it look less appetizing.

You don't get that kind of fluency in Chinese without constant reinforcement at a young age, long before she could be considered a prodigy at skiing.
This implies an early decision to inculcate Chinese instead of assimilating into American culture as many other Chinese American families have done.

Well, I never said that they were anti-China or that they wanted to erase her Chinese identity. Her mother and grandmother are smart people, graduated Qinghua and Beida as I've heard. Even 15 years ago, China was no maggot; it was apparent that China would be a major force in the world and it's always smart to raise your children to have a connection to China if possible. This opens doors and opportunities. My ex-girlfriend worked on the side as a Mandarin tutor to a rich French family; all she had to do was do cultural and Chinese language emersion with their 6 year old son, who is pure French. She was paid handsomely and often tipped more at the end just to hang out with him for a few hours and to only use English when absolutely necessary. When she asked them why they were so infatuated with teaching their son Chinese, they responded that China will be the next superpower with the largest economy in the world and they'd be fools if they neglected to unlock some doors for him when he's young enough to learn easily. They're not patriotic towards China but simply making a sensible choice and I believe that about Ailin's family as well. Of course, I haven't spoken to them and haven't heard their take but from what I see, she is very keen to stress both her Chinese and American identity in harmony in all of her interviews and I presume that that is her mother and grandmother coaching her to keep as many doors open for herself as possible. My feeling is that it's not about China or America, but all about Ailin Gu when it comes to decision making in that family.
