[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the US could look the other way while Tanith Belbin's citizenship application was fast-walked through the process so that she could represent the US at the Olympics, China can look the other way with Gu as well.

DP. I'm not criticizing China for using Gu. Why wouldn't they use that opportunity? I criticize China for genocide and other human rights abuses, and I criticize Gu for being a tool in China's PR effort to whitewash that fact.[/quote]

You say this like a country cannot be brutal AND excellent in sports.  The two are unrelated.  [/quote]

OK, but why do we have to support an American voluntarily being part of their PR machine? [/quote]

Would it be “Russian PR” to say that Michael Baryshnikov is one of the greatest ballet dancers of all time, and that he is a consummate and genius artist?

Would it be “Italian PR” to say that Michelangelo was a god-like sculptor?

Is it “American PR” to say that Meryl Streep is the greatest screen actress of all time?

You just sound stupid, honestly.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but you don't seem to understand how regimes like China use propaganda. I really wouldn't go around telling other people they sound stupid.[/quote]

So you don’t think Tchaikovsky was a great composer, or Barishnikov was a great dancer. Because to praise their talent and seek to learn from their techniques or culture would make you part of a Russian propaganda machine. Got it.

Gordeeva and Grinkov—better tell our pairs’ teams to never watch their tapes! Seems like a good strategy. [/quote]
