U.S. Republican Congressman Andy Ogles said today: "Eileen Gu is a skier born in the United States who competes for China, and China wants to destroy our country. Those who betray America and support our enemies must bear the consequences."
Comments: This U.S. congressman's remarks are an obvious imposition of extreme ideology and political hatred onto an athlete. He defames normal national representation as "treason" and maliciously portrays China as "wanting to destroy the U.S." It is essentially a despicable performance by exploiting anti-China issues to create hatred, gain political capital, and attract populist traffic. Eileen Gu's choice complies with international rules, respects her bloodline and emotional attachment, but has been used as a tool to incite division. Such comments reveal the deep-rooted Cold War zero-sum thinking of some American politicians, and also demonstrate their narrow-mindedness and double standards, who claim to advocate freedom but cannot tolerate any different choices.
