US-Born Skater Who Defected to Team China Blasted After Last Place Finish
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’d bet when the CCP government looks at her now, they don’t see a loyal Comrade back in the fold but a pile of healthy, harvestable organs.

Sometimes things don’t turn out like we had planned. We all get educated in these moments. She is probably a bit smarter than she was before the Olympics. And then, with all that I read and see on the news, I am beginning to doubt it all. Until I hear Steve Bannon say it or Charlie Kirk..or Tucker Carlson.... I won’t believe

Giving up citizenship may mean something to China, but not usually to the US government. If she has a US birth certificate she can get a state ID and US passport. Most importantly, the IRS doesn’t care, except in unusual circumstances.

I’m no expert in figure skating, but is she supposed to be trying to scale the rink’s wall that way?

Athletes who do this sort of thing generally suck, and only compete for another country because they don’t have a chance in hell of making the U.S. team.

It’s really no different than some male mutant calling himself a woman and competing in a women’s sporting event.

I suspect this was deliberate so she could have dual citizenship.

It does not work that way, in order to become a citizen of another country you must renounce your US citizenship.

The article says she gave up her U.S. citizenship to compete for China, so the reporting is not totally inaccurate.

Another earlier article on this subject said she was REQUIRED to give up her U.S. citizenship to compete for China. I don’t know if that was something the Chinese government required, or was an Olympic rule.

Now all that’s left is for her to get sexually assaulted by one of Xi’s commie stooges.

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

Some of these threads are so confusing and filled with histrionics that they may as well be written in a foreign language. LOL.

Not true.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/Advice-about-Possible-Loss-of-US-Nationality-Dual-Nationality/Dual-Nationality.html

… U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one nationality or another. A U.S. citizen may naturalize in a foreign state without any risk to his or her U.S. citizenship…

That’s Breitbart wanting to make a big deal out of it. People pick and choose their nation for international competition all the time. If you’re dream is the Olympics and you can’t quality “from” one country but you’ve got a shot “from” another, go for the dream.

China does not allow dual citizenship. The US doesn’t care, but China required her to renounce US citizenship if she wanted to become a Chinese citizen.

If she was Taiwanese it would have been a non-issue - there are many thousands of dual-national Taiwanese-Americans.

Lets hope that her decision to renounce her US citizenship leads to a life of....well,a life similar to those billion (plus) Chinese who work 14 hours a day,6 days a week at $1.75 an hour!
