Maybe shes to young to understand.
No - she thinks she can be one of the special ones in China. She’s an idiot, and appears too lao wai or “Westerner” (西方人) for mainlanders to tolerate in private.
An oddity or specimen at best.
Sigh yeah she’s very pretty and talented. I thought it was interesting too…choosing to rep China. I mean she is half-Chinese, but yes it has political implications. What are her thoughts on the way her fellow Chinese are treated? Why did her mom immigrate to the US in the first place? Etc...
Maybe she is promoting freedom in her own way by inspiring aspiring Chinese female athletes on what can and should be possible for all of them too? I dunno.
