The Beijing Games have been a thrill for three-time medalist Eileen Gu, but the American-born skier has faced some harsh criticism for her decision to represent China on the Olympic stage. Among Gu's many critics is former United States ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who has not been shy in voicing her displeasure with the 18-year-old.

In an interview with RealClearPolitics, Haley, the first female governor of South Carolina, admitted that she has not watched a second of the 2022 Olympics, and accused Gu of “standing for human rights abuses.”

“In terms of the citizenship, look, China or the U.S.? You have got to pick a side. Period,” Haley said. "You’ve got to pick a side, because you're either American or you're Chinese, and they are two very different countries.”

Haley believed that the serious human rights allegations against China should’ve been enough to convince any athlete not to put on the Chinese colours at the Games.

“I can't get the images out of my head of people on their knees, blindfolded, knowing what's about to happen to them,” Haley explained. “I can't imagine in any way supporting that or propping up China.”

Gu is already the most dominant women’s freestyle skier in the world. Born in San Fransisco, she had the choice to represent either the United States or China thanks to her mom’s Chinese citizenship. The youngster ultimately decided to represent the host country, and her choice has been a polarizing topic throughout the Games.

Gu has done her best to avoid most questions surrounding her citizenship throughout the Olympics, but in an interview with Reuters, she did admit that China still feels like home to her.

"So I grew up spending 25-30 percent (of my time) in China. I'm fluent in Mandarin and English and fluent culturally in both," Gu told Reuters. "So coming here, I really feel there was a sense of coming home. I feel just as American as Chinese. I don't feel I'm taking advantage of one or another. They understand that my mission is to foster a connection between countries and not a divisive force."

Gu won a trio of medals in Beijing, including gold in both the women’s halfpipe and big air competition. Her triumphant Games made her the first-ever "action sports" athlete (freestyle skiing or freestyle snowboarding) to win three medals in a single Olympics.

She is planning to attend Stanford University in the coming year while she continues her freestyle skiing career.

This disgusting Yankee politican with Indian descent with the venom of hatred towards China and Chinese carried from her motherland India, shame on you. You hypocrite, are you not being double faced woman with your affinity and loyalty biased towards your motherland India when you served as UN ambassador in the US federal government ? Everyone knows you hypocrite's bias and loyalty towards India. Gu is a Chinese citizen now, not American, so you have no right to bitch about her loyalty to America now ! No other country has committed more human rights atrocities and abuses than you hypocritical Yankees and now Indians to follow in modern times. Now, this white-wantbee hypocrite wants to talk about the human rights issues in China as fabricated by the shameless West, thick face !

She should also object to the Olympic Puerto Rican team

usa is going down the drain in so many ways so cant blame Gu for choosing China.
The indian is just upset india is going down even faster so she's stuck in usa.

No country in modern times has committed more human rights abuses than USA. There hands are soaked in blood of people from every continent. From the genocide of the native Americans to the complete annihilations of humans in Hiroshima and Nagasaki through the use of nuclear weapons, from the systematic rape and killing of Vietnamese and Lao on the pretext of fighting communism, to the invasion of Panama just to build a canal. But nothing is compared to the massacre of Iraqis, over a million have been killed by the US and its allies, and all of this was done on a lie. Its the perfect example of war crime.

So someone please tell this white wanabe Indian bitch to shove it up where the sun doesn't shine.

BS about China doesn't stop, yet they've done nothing about Kashmir for how long? Imran Khan should plough down on their politically motivated selective activism next time they question him about China
