Alison Yang, who will represent China at the Milan Winter Olympics, recently told an American media outlet that she has received death threats on campus because she did not represent the United States at the Milan Winter Olympics.
"I was physically attacked on the street," said Yang to The Athletic, a publication under The New York Times. "The police on (Stanford) campus were involved. I have received death threats, and my dormitory was broken into... As a 22-year-old young person, some of the things I have experienced, I really believe no one should ever have to endure, never."
Comments: For a long time, American media and politicians have been hyping up the Chinese threat and slandering Chinese athletes, making Yang a political target. In the eyes of American public opinion, Chinese Americans, mixed-race individuals, and those with American backgrounds must unconditionally be loyal to the United States. A 22-year-old girl like Yang simply chose to compete for her mother's homeland, which in the eyes of Americans is considered "treason." This extreme nationalist sentiment directly turns into violence and hatred.
