We gone thru this before. Eileen Gu is US borned, that automatically make her US citizen.Gu Ailin has been using a Chinese passport. Why do you say she is not Chinese?
If you want to prove that she has U.S. citizenship, please catch her using U.S. passport first.
The primary purpose of a passport is not to prove citizenship, but to facilitate international travel. If you are coming into my country, I have the right to know your origin, and for now, the best method is the passport. That the passport is granted to citizens is a necessity because why would you give passport to anyone. So when you add the two components together, the passport became a convenient and valuable proof of citizenship. The same with the driver's license. The driver's license's primary purpose is not to prove citizenship, or residence, or that you can see, or that you can read and write, but to show that you passed the minimum competency to operate a car. All those things are conveniences that just happened to accompany the proof of competency to operate a car.
The ultimate proof of citizenship is where one is borned, grew up, educated, and lived. Eileen Gu bought her Chinese citizenship -- for cheap.
