Like I said previously, nothing more American than this. What bothers Americans is that she is supposedly doing this "for [communist] China". She is in fact not doing it "for China" she is doing it with "China's help and support" (obviously China gets the soft power ROI). I don't have any special insight into her mind, but I think she is honest when she says she enjoys both US and China equally, something most Americans cannot comprehend.
Maybe that is the problem. Not maybe, actually.
Demanding loyalty without support is why US in general is where it is today. Not just with Gu but with so many other Chinese. I don't think Eileen Gu would have objected to representing US at the Olympics. She would just want Americans not to HATE everything Chinese (which is half of her) and some support. But no.
Instead the Chinese told her we love you and here is a bunch of cash so you can get top notch training (and a presidential waiver on dual citizenship which millions of Americans have), and a whole bunch of sponsorships. Why in the fucking world would you not take that. So you can patronize some MAGA fatso loser who fetishizes WMAF?
Look at yourselves.
NBA star Victor Wembanyama learned boxing techniques from the masters in China's Shaolin Temple during 10-day spiritual journey.
It is reported that he has passed the Shaolin Duan Pin system assessment and been awarded the entry-level "First Duan" (First Degree), becoming the first NBA player to receive a Shaolin martial arts rank.
many sad, reductive views here about how you can not look good if you're a "fat American." certainly, you will look better if you have a lean broad-shouldered figure. but the wonder of tailoring is that anyone can look good. here's jackie gleason.
Most entertaining thing I heard on the news recently was that there’s a break-up of the MAGA camp on whether to attack Iran. Finally, some in-fighting amongst the dumb fucks over who’s gonna be dumber
