Indians are not really the bright when they did not realized German agent has recently improved relations with Middleast. India is just consumer that need to be squeezed. the higher the inflation in India the cheaper Arabs can get workers.
In my opinion, the medals aspect played only a small part in the motivation behind the reaction. The way Chinese social media reacted to her was insane. It was as if Mao came back to life and beat the s**t out of Biden. They viewed her entry into the Chinese team like an arrival of a hero who is going to slay a dragon and like a middle finger to the US.
I doubt a boat would have made it there before he drowned.
She is propagandized by Chinese officials for a political reason, maybe you missed the value. There were a lot of heartfelt stories about diaspora returning to China (i.e., Chinese hockey team) to compete for the Olympics, Eileen was merely the poster child of that campaign. For economic/demographic reasons, China will have to allow and encourage (preferably skilled) Chinese diaspora back to the homeland.
Those points sound like guessing to be honest, and your hope, along with the drastic difference between your initial point and your new points, basically confirmed that. China has always been friendly with their diasporas for several decades, so that has never been an issue to begin with. They did a lot of community outreach events with those diasporas, even the ones in the US. Its absolutely BS that you insinuate the CPC was never caring about them. However, (I'm going to get crucified for saying this) many of the diasporas have distanced themselves from China due to their views of the CPC (玻璃心 anyone?). So no, I don't buy that at all.
