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

Good question. Every source I have seen states she relinquished US citizenship. I wonder whose Chinese language teacher starting saying the contrary.

Although she failed to be useful to Party for these purposes, her organs are still young and healthy, so maybe they find some profitable use for her later.

Typical lefty behavior by you. Don’t have good counter point so attack the messenger.
You project too much. Go back to DUmmies.

No one gives up US citizenship. They go dual citizen. She is going to Stanford this coming year.

You really think she is giving up US citizenship? When she is half white American anyway, from her father. Lol..she is only 50% Chinese.

That makes sense. Not a traitor, just someone who had no chance to be on the strong USA team.

Want more relevancy ?
Majority of natural born Americans are either leftists or woke. Proof ? Biden is in white house, not the best president in my life, Donald J Trump.

My understanding is that the US will not require people to renounce another country’s citizenship to become (or stay) American.

From Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America:

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
That said, I think this is largely ceremonial. The requirement is to publicly renounce citizenship (and also titles of nobility) in a public statement. Beyond that, I don't think there are any formal legal procedures one must undertake.

I know people who have become citizens via naturalization who still carry their prior passports. Of course, they won't use them to exit the United States because it won't necessarily get them back in.

Karma for the ungrateful traitor. Have we ever had Chinese or anyone “defect” at the Olympics? I sure hope they are on permanent no-fly lists and never allowed back in the US.

If she ever tries to return to the US she should be treated as an enemy combatant—jailed, maybe even executed.

You have no credibility:

Zhu’s father, Zhu Songchu

“but she is still a US citizen “

Given that you claimed her Chinese father that now resides in China was a white American you will have to source your statements for any credibility.

FWIW Wikipedia says nothing about her renouncing her US citizenship. Zhu should update her Wikipedia entry to reflect her renouncement. Ya think?

“FWIW Wikipedia says nothing about her renouncing her US citizenship’

FWIW it does mention that both parents are Chinese. So much for your “half white”

You still have no credibility.
