Breitbart ^ | 2/6/2022 | Warner Todd Huston

Chinese Olympics fans erupted on social media, furious that California-born skater Zhu Yi defected to China for the games but finished in a disastrous dead last place during her debut for Team China.

Yi, who gave up her U.S. citizenship to become a Chinese citizen so she could compete for the communist government’s genocide Olympics, finished with the lowest score for the entire event in Beijing on Saturday, the Daily Mail reported.

The 19-year-old scored a lowly 47.04 after she fell to the ice on her first combination triple flip-triple toe-loop jump and then crashed into the wall. Yi also muffed her triple loop minutes later

“I’ve always understood that the U.S. doesn’t recognize dual nationality for immigrants who become U.S. citizens (that is, the foreign national must renounce their former citizenship as a condition of getting their citizenship here). Maybe that’s not the case anymore?”

My understanding is that the US will not require people to renounce another country’s citizenship to become (or stay) American. But some foreign countries require renouncing another country’s citizenship to obtain their own.

I say this as someone whose wife is not an American citizen, even as one of our children, over 21, so far still has (and has exercised through dual passports) citizenship in two countries.

Just like how men who aren’t good enough to compete with other men pretend they are a woman, athletes not good enough to play for the USA pretend they are from another country.

We are proud that you are an involved and productive American, an immigrant who chose to be here at that, and perhaps that is why you post something about some evil Natural Born citizens who have little or no gratitude for the country of their birth.

But it’s beyond stretching the point to mention McVeigh and Nichols in the context of an Olympic sports thread. You could have just as easily, and more significantly been more contemporary, to have mentioned that Anthony Fauci, MD, is a Natural Born citizen, and has done much more damage to the entire country than McVeigh and Nichols did in Oklahoma City.
And it’s none of my business what you think of me, so I don’t care what you think of me. But,
You exposed YOUR mentality really well.

” If you have one American parent and one Canadian parent, you’re considered a citizen of both countries without doing anything at all.”

If born in Canada you have to file papers for U.S.

She won the novice title in her Nationals debut at the 2018 U.S. Figure Skating Championships with a record score of 167.69 points.[9]

Not exactly.

Filing a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) does not convey citizenship. It merely records birth abroad so citizenship is easier to prove.

“I believe Eileen Gu is a skier, not a skater.”

I think so but not important.

Gu is acting as traitor also.

In fact worse than this Zhu.

She is not black.
She is also not a natural born citizen.

What you are is an idiotic troll.

Posting strawmen arguments and laying massive projections like a typical leftwing bombthrower.

Nothing what you posted is relevant to this thread.

The skater is a traitor and should remain in China.

Go back to your hole!

Renouced it, gave it up, traded it in, who cares? US citizenship is about as resilient as a pair of shorts.

Well, that certainly backfired. Good! I hope she enjoys living back in China.

Never said it did. As not referring to that.

One of the comments I saw on a You Tube post / vid (I don’t remember which) asked why Yi would prefer China to the USA, given that she’d done well skating here. Most of the comments cited, essentially, blind ambition and youthful bad priorities.

But, then someone posted (paraphrasal):

“She was living in LA.”
