Eighteen-year-old freeski champion Eileen Gu gave China its first women’s gold medal of the 2022 Winter Olympics on Tuesday, becoming the breakout star of the least-watched Games in TV history. Chinese state media is eager to use Gu for propaganda while protecting her image as a globalist megastar, while American media is reluctant to ask tough questions about why a California teen would put her incredible talent at the service of a genocidal slave-taking dictatorship.
Why did a top American athlete who claims to be socially conscious, who benefited tremendously from growing up in the United States, choose to play for a brutal totalitarian government with one of the worst human rights records on the planet? Why does a young woman who claims to be devoted to female empowerment support a regime that forcibly sterilizes Uyghur Muslim women?
Why are so many American media outlets unwilling to put those questions to Gu, or even push for a firm answer on whether she renounced her American citizenship to play for China? U.S. mainstream media has largely embraced the narrative of Gu as a brave iconoclast walking a tightrope between feuding superpowers, fending off unreasonable criticism from a few cloddish and possibly racist American nationalists — as though she had left California to play for Canada, rather than for a hostile authoritarian superpower with a penchant for ethnic cleansing.

Her failure at the Olympics probably means she will be raped by CCP party members. So much for empowerment.
Who subsidized all her years of training?
Leave her in China she’s now a Spy anyway
If only we could revoke legally obtained citizenship, while the traitor was out of the country and not allow them back in.
From the article:
“Eileen is from California....”
I think I found the problem
How did she fail?
Is one leg shorter than the other?..............
May the Uyghur and Tibetan genocide ghosts and demons haunt her every moment of sleep.
She needs to meet the tennis player coach who knows how to play with Red Chinese athletes?
Do uyou know how the ROC executes these minorities? A needle to the neck, immediate unconsciousness and them organ harvesting for sale all over the world.
Thats what this little biatch has signed on for.
Disagree, not a failure. She ditched the U.S. and won gold for China, she’ll be celebrated over there and live comfortably.
Yes, it was fiction.
She’ll be allowed back in to have the best of all worlds.
And we’ll be told by elitists benefiting from the sellout of the US to China that this is great because it will bring the two countries closer together.
We’re in a post-patriotic age where making bank is whats important. At least in America.
Has Adam Schifftless asked her for a date yet?
Her family is wealthy.
Wrong plumbing................
Yes, but it could be made fact..................with HER!.............
That was the skater Zhu Yi.
She can stay there.
I believe that the PRC requires these athletes to become Chinese citizens. China is like the US, it does not allow dual citizenship (Though the US does not enforce that).
