My thoughts about Eileen and her representing China in the 2022 Olympics is that I can see both sides of the story, however I feel she should stick to representing one country and one country only because of the issues that it could later cause such as China is a communist country. I also think that it wrong that China is paying her $1.5 million to represent them. With this story I can see why there’s so much controversy but one thing I do see is that she might really not understand everything as she is only 18 years old.
I feel like that Eileen should be representing USA because she is getting paid $1.5 million dollars just to play for china. The olympics is not about getting paid it’s about the sport and the competition of said sport
I believe that she should be able to choose what country she wants to represent and that it’s a good thing that she can be a role model for oppressed women in China.
Nick, she’s representing China’s Communist Party and all of the oppression that the CCP does. The CCP recruited to strengthen their standing both domestically and internationally, and Gu knows this fully. Gu is doing this for money as well, but don’t be fooled by “I’m trying to do good” B.S. She did choose to support China against the U.S., and so she is by definition a traitor. As a U.S. citizen she is allowed to make this choice (note she wouldn’t be able to make this choice as a Chinese citizen), so the U.S. cannot punish her, but she should be vilified.
I think she should feel free and comfortable enough to make her own decision whether or not she wants to represent USA or whatever country she’s determined to and if she wanted to be someone to look forward to at the Olympics in China.
I think that either way its a hard decision. If she competed with USA then she would feel like she would be betraying her parents but if she competes with China then she would be leaving the place she grew up in. I think that there was no right and wrong decision and she made the choice that best suited her.
I will never understand why she would compete for China. A country that is not kind to their citizens and abuses the environment. Their covid quarantine rules are horrific and cruel. I think she’s too young to really understand how lucky she is to live in the USA. If she’s making a ton of money she should pay the United States back for all of her training. Our infrastructure and u.s. citizen tax dollars enabled her success and she humiliated our country and naively humiliated her level of intelligence.

Our infrastructure and u.s. citizen tax dollars enabled her success and in return she humiliated our country on a world stage. If she represents China in the future and says something wrong is she aware of the fact that she will be escorted out of the games by Chinese officials never to be seen again only 2 spend her life in a remote and God forsaken prison camp.
I feel like she should be able to support china considering she is 50% Chinese and lived there for 25% of her life that’s like how some nba players play for us teams but go play for their country when the Olympics roll around
The question isn’t whether or not she should be allowed to make the choice. She is allowed. The question is, “Is she a traitor?”, and the answer to this question is, “Yes, she’s a traitor.” The comparison to other players is weak, because in all of the other cases, the players playing for other nations didn’t make their home country’s team. So, it was their first choice to play for the U.S., but weren’t able to do so, so they played for another country for the opportunity to compete in the Olympics. Clearly Gu would have made the U.S team, but she took the training and benefits provided by the U.S. and used them to help the Chinese Communist Party at the expense of the U.S.
She is a very talented skier and is a very dedicated person. She is a unifier. A person with a very positive attuidide when it comes to sports ans its a very good idea for her to represent china in the olympics .

Eileen should be able to do what she wants with out being hated for it, in the end most of the Olympic competitors do it because they enjoy the sport.

That is fair and it is a well-reasoned argument.
The question isn’t whether or not she should be allowed to make the choice. She is allowed. The question is, “Is she a traitor?”, and the answer to this question is, “Yes, she’s a traitor.” The comparison to other players is weak, because in all of the other cases, the players playing for other nations didn’t make their home country’s team.
