I’ve been out of the loop re: the Olympics so I had to do a little reading
to catch up on this topic. Read these couple of paragraphs from a CNN report:
Zhu is among at least a dozen foreign-born athletes recruited by China in recent years in an attempt to bolster its medal count at the Winter Olympics. But the attack against her also highlights the pressure these naturalized athletes face to compete under the Chinese flag.
Born in Los Angeles in 2002, she decided to compete for China in 2018 and gave up her American citizenship. She also changed her name from Beverly Zhu to Zhu Yi.
But she has faced criticism in China for not being able to speak fluent Chinese.
