In the end if nobody cares about the Olympics anymore it won’t matter; I know nobody who follows them. It just wasn’t the same after the Cold War, and the charade of ill will towards the ChiComs is exposed whenever people see our shelves stocked with cheap ChiCom junk...

That’s what will do her in. She’s been taught to speak out by American culture. She can’t help but run afoul of the authorities even if she think she is properly kow-towing to them. In that culture, sticking out too much isn’t safe.

We’ll put - and ditto about Trump. He was far more respected overseas (in places like the Middle East! than he was here.)

China has been reclaiming Chinese decent expats as One China All Chinese promoting loyalty to China over their nation of birth. Espionage is the reason.

Probably a symptom of two generations of indoctrination by the left to teach young people to hate their country.

Only in the west do you see that, you don't such things in nations like Japan, least of all China.

Grew up in San Francisco. Nuff said, a useful idiot.

Who cares? She’s going to be a very privileged icon in a rapidly growing Chinese subculture which is hip and Western. Plus. . . .

I would definitely NOT kick her out of bed

Tell what you wrote to the students who were slaughtered at Tiananmen Square, in the Red Chinese jails and who “disappeared in Hong Kong’s freedom movement recently.

I once interviewed one of Mao’s bodyguards who was a Red Guard leader (Hung Weiping). He got so sick of the slaughter he saw between rival RG armies that he defected.

This foolish and greedy girl not only sold out America, but also the youth of Red China!!!

I’m actually really impressed with the outcry. And hope more Chinese-Americans and Taiwanese-Americans speak out!

And that Chinese-Americans on Team USA do well...

Now that I’ve had a few days to ponder this, I am totally in agreement with you.

This girl is nothing more than a spoiled, entitled little brat who took advantage of being born free.

I think she could have influenced far more Chinese young people by competing as an American.

OTOH, let’s see what she does. If she’s an NBA type coward and follows Pelosi’s advice to STFU when you’re in China, then we all know she’s a phony,

In fact, I really don’t see how she’ll have the courage to speak out against China on anything. She’ll be a convenient mouthpiece for them.

IN SHORT, the Chinese leaders will point to her as being a young entitled American who has chosen China over her USA and emphasize that fact.
