Why she's hated by Some not ALL in America.
I think because the commentators, competitors, fans are all about the sport, especially in free skiing.
it's beyond doubt that the Americans can continue to claim her as their own just like China (in a different way). any clear eyed Americans can understand she is at least partly representing American soft power in China. that's why some Americans' moaning about loss of medals is just shortsighted and idiotic.
I have always thought China training Japanese table tennis players is a brilliant display of soft power.
