“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.

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
