great article on sentiment. but horrible on politics.
"At the same time, some of Eileen’s most vocal critics are fellow Chinese Americans. They argue that by competing for China, Gu condones the ongoing of the minority Uighurs in western China, the violent 2019 to 2020 Hong Kong pro-democracy , and the mysterious of Peng Shuai, the three-time Olympian and tennis star who accused a former CCP official of sexual assault in 2021.
And I get it. Even though I root for Team China at the Olympics and am absolutely tickled when we’re ahead in the medals tally, I would never in a million years renounce my decision to become an American citizen. I can’t even fathom it."
So she is saying she love China but not the CCP, which is basically the Pompeo approach. She "would never in a million years renounce my decision to become an American citizen. I can’t even fathom it." and yet she has so many issues with the Asian hate in the US. "Even when we are hardworking, doing everything white and right, the slanty-eye jokes and passive aggressive stereotypes persist." doesn't sound the US is that free to me. And she doesn't seem to be aware that her country has caused huge number of death and suffering by conducting the illegal anti-terror wars in the middle east. China is no saint. But as least Chinese Americans can stop pretending the US is.
I don't think she has thought things through in terms of politics.
outside China too. International star. And part of the reason they are attacking her, accusing her of chasing that endorsement money. But racist attacks on her and her grandma wishes totally ignored.
They are pissed they lost an asset and gold medal to a rival they always looked down upon. The tears and cope are funny though
@getready Yeah especially her being raised by her single mom, without his American Father and now she's ungrateful? what kind of woke politics are these, it doesn't jive with their themes and ideology...lol

Just remember the story where there was an African-American swimmer two decades ago, in the Atlanta Olympics if I recall correctly, who didn't make the US swim team so he decided to represent I think it was Belize. He won gold beating his American competitors. It means that the US doesn't pick the best swimmers. They pick according to what they think represents America. If Eileen Gu competed as an American, would she have even made the team? It's disingenuous for any American to complain when they regularly don't look at anyone Asian as American.
Her Cadillac ad. I think it fit her well, both her and GM being bridges between China and US.
Thanks .I actually didn't know about her dad. Its seldom reported. No wonder he is never in any of the Chinese TV sports features of hers that watched .
I have to say the aus coverage been quite good on China. No political or snide remarks. Very positive on Gu Eileen. Quite surprising. Heard their open ceremony coverage was quite good too.

Rumor is her Dad left the family when she was young. She was raised entirely by her Chinese mom and grandparents.
