Gu’s Instagram page is a collection of motivational and inspirational slogans, a scrapbook designed to present a specific, curated image of her to the world. One user commented on an otherwise innocuous post:
“Why can you use Instagram and millions of Chinese people from mainland cannot, why you got such special treatment as a Chinese citizen. That’s not fair, can you speak up for those millions of Chinese who don’t have internet freedom,” user “cilla chan” wrote.
“Anyone can download a vpn,” Gu replied, “it’s literally free on the App Store”.
The website Protocol noted that multiple users fired back at Gu that Chinese citizens don’t have that freedom, not so subtly suggesting that if Gu is in fact a Chinese citizen alone — which she has deliberately not confirmed — she is enjoying benefits her fellow citizens can’t access.
Screenshots of the exchange were censored from the Chinese social media service Weibo.
This is the line that Gu must walk. Born and raised in the United States but competing for her mother's home country of China in these Olympics, Gu is a huge celebrity here, appearing on billboards and commercials all over the country. But accusations of favoritism would be tough to shake, and many of the rights and freedoms Gu has enjoyed for 18 years as an American — free expression, an open and unfettered internet — aren’t available to Chinese citizens. Gu is already a huge star in China, but she’s liable to face enormous backlash if she flaunts the fact that she’s not living under the same rules as her fellow citizens.

Nobody ever trusts a traitor.
Even the side the traitor defects to.
Does anyone still not get why the founders excluded the children of foreigners from being President with the natural born citizen clause?
They are born with the same foreign nationality as their foreign parent(s).
Natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they could not be anything else.
It was that singularity of nationality that the founders were requiring.
As soon as the CCCP thinks it’s safe, Gu is going to disappear.
Well, that’s too bad.
Exactly.
Which is why anchor babies are not American citizens according to the original definition. The slut Kammal-toe Harris is NOT eligible to be Vice President.
Yep, I’m sure they don’t like her telling Chinese people to go to the app store to find forbidden apps.
They may decide she’s just not a good enough role model for Chinese people.
She is apparently planning to attend Stanford University in the fall. That should be interesting.
OH NO! I sure hope that doesen.... hey, the dog found something in the yard... wonder what it is.
Not defending Gu here, but those millions of Chinese slaves need to speak up and stand up for themselves. That's how you get freedom. That's how we got ours in 1776. Stop whining about others exercising their freedoms.
This may show how completely clueless this 18-year-old is as to the freedoms she takes for granted outside China.
A small mistake in the beginning leads to a thousand mistakes in the end. Plato noticed that rule in 400BC. Gu’s small mistake: deciding to represent China in the first place. Duh!
Hopefully she plays tennis as she may soon be rooming with a tennis star.
I can’t find Zhu Yi’s Instagram page...
So Trump should have been banned from running?
Both of Trump’s parents were citizens.
Top universities like Stanford are full of ChiCom students. That’s one reason why China has made such good progress in science and technology.
Trump’s mother was born in Scotland. You know that. So by your very flawed and incorrect definition, Trump was ineligible.
Fortunately you are always wrong when it comes to your incorrect assumption of who is eligible to run for president. Fortunately Trump ran and was elected.
Twice.
