The key is how to interpret this text 本人出生时即具有外国国籍的
That foreign citizenship is put on the person without the person's consent. What if the parents want to keep Chinese citizenship for the child? Does Chinese law deprive Chinese baby's right to be Chinese especially when the parents are still Chinese citizen?
I acknowledge that I did not consult the Chinese legal agencies for the interpretation though.
Regarding IOC rules, isn't citizenship and nationality the same thing in different words? I mean in passport it is stated nationality but it is same as citizenship.

I don't see an issue with that. What's wrong with her being an ambassador for US Olympic bid? Just because the Americans are foaming at the mouth at anything Chinese, doesn't mean we should do the same.
The two aren't mutually exclusive. You develop your own talent pool and you seize whatever opportunity comes your way.

Well I can only tell you what my neighbors told me about their kids. They are Chinese PR, and their kids born in Canada. When they inquired to the Chinese consulate about their children's citizenship in order to visit China, they were told their children do not have Chinese citizenship and would need visas.
By politically I meant geopolitical clout, not political system.
That was a result of a world war, it wasn't something the USSR got by the strength of its economy or attractiveness of its ideology. It just took territory in war and installed puppet governments. Incidentally, that's also the only reason the US has the strength it does today.
The more time goes by, the more I'm convinced that China can only attain such clout through war.
Personally, I'm not concerned with this either. I'm just pointing out that because of the previous media hype surrounding Gu in China, lots of people's expectations have been set too high. Now the fanbase might become unhappy with this move. Celebrity fandom in China is highly toxic lol..
Developing talents includes promoting them via the media. Athletes in particular rely a lot on equipment sponsorships.
More fans = more equipment sales = more sponsorships
When Gu is in the media spotlight 90% of the time, other athletes are going to have a hard time gaining visibility among the general public.
Chinese media in general have room for improvement.
And toxic fans isn't a China only problem, its pretty much worldwide, although I do agree in that China should look into decreasing it/improving fan culture.
Yeah its very much a done thing. I wonder if firm in China makes cow fart counters?
