[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am cheering against this Eileen Gu chick so hard.  Can’t believe they interviewed her on American TV.[/quote]

I don't understand why American TV is giving her the time of day. She wanted to be a Chinese athlete, so treat her like the other Chinese athletes.

She also seems quite competitive in the event, so not sure why she had to go to China to make an Olympic team. [/quote]

Because she's a story, duh.  Pretty, successful, a medal favorite, future Stanford student, and a switch in citizenship - you bet she'll be on every screen. [/quote]

Yeah.......I don't think I necessarily would go out of my way to represent China. [/quote]
NP. [b] But what if she feels more affinity for the PRC than the US?  What if she believes more in their country?[/b]  Not everything can or should be boiled down to the material.  We see discussions all the time on here of people threatening to leave the US and very rarely are the primary concerns economic.  I don’t think she’s right or wrong for turning her back on the US and the USOC.  Maybe she believes in Communism or feels the future lies with Red China or the culture speaks to her.  It’s not always about money, something the majority of the people on here can’t understand.  I hope she puts in her best effort and is happy with her decision.  If at some point she decides she wants a return to the red, white, and blue, I say come on home.  We’re a country of second chances.[/quote]

LOL Then she's an idiot. Especially since its clear she's money driven and racking up huge endorsements. You know what happens to Chinese celebrities and billionaires who make too much money and cross the CCP? They disappear. Hell even Peng Shuai, China's highest ranking tennis star, was sent to a black hole and she didn't even try to cheat them.

The problem is that you don't get a 'second chance' in China. You mess up, they cross you off. And she and other young stars like her are too sheltered from an American lifestyle which includes such rare things as Constitutional Rights to realize what they've walked into. The fact that Gu was on social media today defending/speaking out about Zhu Yi (who she probably feels a connection to) - says it all. A good Chinese celebrity knows to keep their mouth shut until they see which way the wind is blowing from the CCP.

Gu is a sell out and nothing but China's pawn. This is pretty clear by the fact that China had Peng Shuai attend the big air event and sit next to IOC president Thomas Bach. She will soon enough realize what she has lost by deciding to compete for China and be a part of their game. Everyone can be bought for a the right price, but nothing is free when it comes to China. [/quote]

Totally agree. This picture of Peng Shuai being watched by the CCP as she APOLOGIZES for saying she was raped is just horrifying.
