Here’s a Chinese-born, American freestyle skier

Competing for the US hasn’t hurt her support in China.

And here is another US-born Chinese Olympian (in figure skater):

By falling, she cost the Chinese team in the team event (that’s a thing?), and has been pilloried in China.

Many questioned why Zhu, an American-born skater, was picked to represent China at the expense of an athlete born in the country.

I wonder if those commenters are questioning whether Gu was picked at the expense of an athlete born in China.

In case anyone is wondering, I’m not trying to make a point.
