Were the Taiwan aboriginal people represented?
I have a feeling that the snowboarding community is very tight knit.

South Korea protested China was planning a nuclear power plant to be built in China in an area that South Korea says is historically Korea. They claim it increases China's hold there meaning South Korea has plans to absorb North Korea and then plans to take back Chinese territory they see as Korean. They're probably touchy that China having a representative wearing Korean dress says it's a part of China and not Korea. They can't get back that territory without the US's help hence why they're pro-US.
could be a group a friends already playing together from Canada joined together.
It is a small community to begin with in China. Elieen Gu and her family are close friend with Lu Jian, who is widely credited as the father of China's ski resort industry. How many great ski and snowboarding athletes in China today? I bet you can count them with both your hands (plus both your feet at most).
unfortunately there are plenty of idiots in China too. But 11,000 upvotes isn't too bad.
years ago I had real issue with China's censors as I thought it constrains the development of good ideas. But now I have grown, I think it more than make up by stop the spread of idiocy like in the US. and I have personally learned the value of NOT have an opinion on things I don't know much about. and focus on learning as broadly and deeply as possible rather than wasting my life express my stupid opinions.

You may ask the same question to the following "short" list of Chinese citizens who switched their citizenship and play for foreign countries. Why would it be an issue when the receiving end is China. Note the bold red texted people are known to have been top players in China's National teams just like Hannah Miller.

Or more precisely, they are the town criers of the ruling families meanwhile the governments are the butlers.
Western MSM making a mountain out of a molehill. This sort of thing happens to athletes and famous celebrities worldwide. When they screw up they get bashed by netizens. It's par for the course. Nothing unusual. Only reason western media is reporting this is because it aligns with their anti-China agenda..
go Chinese! I always felt table tennis in the Olympics is a bit like Chinese national games.
