From Visa to Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com, around 30 brands are riding on Eileen Gu’s popularity as a U.S.-born athlete competing for China. But her marketability could be a double-edged sword for her sponsors. Photo Composite: Emily Siu

FEILEENGU
Those who picked on her and criticized her should be ashamed of themselves for showing how ignorant they are.
She have better chances with the Chinese communists than the American fecist communists will arast
You if you criticize them fecist will kill you just because how you look
Glad companys are so open about their support for china. Makes it easier to not buy anything from them. Glad I dont ride Factions or wear Oakley!
I am glad she represents China
She’s a kid of both countries . She doesn’t need to take any kind of political stance . She’s 19 and skiing . She’s intelligent and positive . Staying out of politics and off touchy subjects is wise . Someone will always find a way to twist words against a person .
She strong and smart. I like her
you need to clarify the content
Unless she switches back to TeamUSA, I don't see her being marketable at all in the US. In fact, if she stays with Team China for 2026, backlash against her in the US could grow so strong that even her multinational sponsors could drop her for fear of antagonizing the US market.
She is a pretty model, but don’t think I would characterize her as anywhere near a “supermodel.”
melania trump has brands in china too
In western market, very few people buy luxury goods, but Chinese tourists. However Chinese people in China , because in the bottom of the well, because of ignorance, chasing wrong value like idiots, have been greatly taken advantage of , spent extremely huge amount of money to buy those things actually made in China.
She's a traitor she's going for the money in China she was born in America should she lose her passport and move to China
She’s awesome. I just don’t think she should be marketed so much to a people who already struggle with their appearances
She did not tell Stanford University on the application form 2020
That she not represent Team USA
She did not tell Stanford University on the application form 2020
That she represented Team China National Team
In all her international competitions IOC FIS
Using her China passport representing
China National Team
In the past 2 years using the China passport to represent China Team
That she did not tell Stanford University on the application form 2020
She did not tell Stanford University on the application form 2020
That she was not representing Team USA
That is a fraud to Stanford University
A fraud to the United States of America
(IOC International Olympic Committee
FIS Federation International Ski
They are both in Switzerland)
China has no snow
Global warming
Climate change
Even the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022
Beijing has to change course for a river
Re-route a river from south of Beijing to Beijing
Damaging a lot of the environmental ecological system along the way
When the river is re-routed to Beijing
People Republic of China
Even had to use dozens of snow gun machines
To fire toward the atmosphere
To create artificial snow fall
Therefore all the international athletes
During the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022
2/4/2022~2/20/2022
Complained about the lack of food
Very few veg and fruits were given to the international Olympic athletes
They were mostly given starchy foods
Given unlimited amount of beer cans to drink
But you asked them for extra veg and fruits, no
Because the whole Olympic Village Beijing was under quarantine
No one with no negative Covid proof 24 hours could enter that Olympic Village
Also food was reported as rationed to the international Olympic athletes
When the re-routed-river brought water from south of Beijing to
Beijing Olympic grounds itself
(As I had mentioned above)
Dozens of snow guns were employed manually by manpower
To fire at the atmosphere
To fire up
So artificial snow could fall down to the Olympic grounds
Therefore not just 1
Or 2
Or 3
International Olympic athletes had complained about the texture of the snow
On the ski competition ground
The artificial snow was so rough, large granules, multiple-angled in texture
It hurt the international skiers taking part in
Beijing Winter Olympics 2022
It was well-known about that
Olympic skiers in Beijing Winter Olympics 2022
Many of them had complained about the texture of the artificial snow
So unreal
It was not really snow
So my point is
When Gu said in NBC Today.com New York interview video
Saying that she was there to promote Free Ski in China
All gracious
I think she answered without brain when she answered international journalists
Questions
During the Beijing Winter Olympic 2022
Beijing Winter Olympics press conference
She answered without a head a heart and lack of knowledge
But you have to use your head when you listen to her
Gu is a fresh new propaganda China
Who had just freshly landed on American soil
To do more
More propaganda
So when you listen to her
To her Today.com New York interview video
You have to listen with your head
Keep your head when you listen to her
If China Beijing did not have enough snow
Global warming
Climate change
Did not have enough snow
For the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022
And had to use dozens of snow guns to fire toward heaven
To create artificial snow
For the Winter Olympics competition ground
Would China has enough snow for ordinary Chinese
Gu said it very beautiful
But there was no snow in China even to participate the sport
The only snow is near Jilin 吉林China
Which is the northeast-most of China, near Korea, near Russia
God saves the United States of America
(There is a signing going on right now
Search ＂current Stanford University petitions＂
To find out
There is around 8,200 signatures collected so far）
who will refuse the money which is the most powerful thing.
"Just use a VPN." Gu puck yourself!
Say what you will,
But she is talented and gorgeous!!
what a sick TRAITOR.. china murders millions annually
wumao is everywhere！lets go Elon mask
traitor , she is a two face traitor , 二面叛徒
Likely she don't believe in western propaganda hence will not criticize something she doesn't believe.
She has the freedom to choose what she want to be. And she brings positivity, girls power and happiness.
"I am just as American as I am Chinese", Oh really, how many opportunities did China give you growing up? Did they pay for your schooling, training or provide you with any facilities to learn in? Did you live there and go to school? I'm the son of two immigrants and I would never say something so ridiculous. You can be proud of your heritage, but pretending like you are somehow FROM the place your parents immigrated from is modern day nonsense.
Yeah it’s a shame for China that ratings were down by a painful 40% but hey you did well fer yerself.. Ya know in the financial sense..
so athletes get criticized for not taking a stance on political issues, but they also get criticized for taking a stance on political issues
seems like there's no way to win. whatever you do, people will find a way to be upset, so might as well just live your life🤷♀️
This girl is very basic by American standards, even she knows it. Olympic medalists are forgotten very quickly. The dirty air and water in China will cause anyone do a reverse immigration.
Eileen Gu is a greatest American Chinese, how about this?
A TRAITOR ON SNOW
She is making good money from both parts of the world, USA & China. Congraluations.
Future biggest Traitor
