It's rather interesting that Zhu renounced her US citizenship in 2018 to become a Chinese citizenship. Her father who is an award winning scientist in artificial intelligence was working at UCLA, but now he is at Peking University. She is obviously not a great skater so it begs the question . . . did they want her or her father?[/quote]

She can reclaim her US citizenship, I believe. She may not be a great skier but she may be better than any China has to offer so it is still a plus for their effort. Interesting re her dad. Also, has she always used "Gu" as her family name or did she drop her father's name to be more Chinese?[/quote]

Reclaiming US citizenship isn’t some automatic or easy thing. In most cases it’s impossible. She’s now a Chinese citizen.  No American anything. That’s gone.  China can decide she doesn’t leave China for college and disappear her like Peng and she has no recourse.  They can take money she makes or retaliate  against her family if she makes headlines for the wrong reasons.  An iPhone video of her saying Hong Kong is being handled poorly surfaces, and she’s done.

It not a position I’d want for my daughter. Especially after Peng’s allegations.   But I guess if you are a 15 year old Asian American kid, you do what your parents say. [/quote]

The most hypocritical part about it all is that Gu is a supporter of movements like BLM, yet at the same time competes for a country oppressing many types of ethnic minorities.  I mean Stanford really let this walking ball of two faced hypocrisy through their doors?  I though academia in the US were supposed to be the last line of defense for western ideology, democracy, and freedom of speech....[/quote]

[b]Oppressing minorities? What are you talking about? The Chinese constitution protects minority groups. [/b]Heck, minority representatives to the National People's Congress even get to wear their ornate ceremonial clothing to all meetings (where they are taken very very seriously). [/quote]

Seriously the most laughable comment ever posted on DCUM.[/quote]
