“The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience. It would be easy, however, to destroy that good conscience by shouting to them: if you want the happiness of the people, let them speak out and tell what kind of happiness they want and what kind they don’t want!” Albert Camus For immigrants like me & first generation Americans like Gu, the 'China or America?' ultimatum poses a false dichotomy. This reaffirms the notion that expressing love for one's chinese culture is akin to signing a blood oath to the CCP, a logical fallacy prepetuated by main stream media that stakes a vicious cycle of anti-asian bias & racism, however inadvertent. Eileen Gu is not a pawn in some grand geo-political strife. She's a young women who grew up straddling two worlds, a feat that I'll bet is even more complicated than the gravity defying flips she'll be performing this week. Cathaleen Chen
