Inteviewer: What was it like to find yourself in the center of all this political discourse?

Liu: Ooh, am I?

Interviewer: I don't know if you feel you are, but there is all of this discourse around you and Eileen Gu. China and America are viewing you as like a liability or a hero.

Liu: Yes, I've seen that. I've known Eileen since I was 13 or something. We're from the Bay Area. She's super nice, and her mom is from China. I think people are hypocritical for shaming her for representing China. So in my head it's a bit hypocritical, because her mom is an immigrant. Y'all would have told her to go back to China. Now that they're back in China, you're mad. [Laughs] And it's sport, it doesn't matter what country we represent. Sport is sport, and she has a love for competition, she has love for the game. I think that's all that matters. There's no shame in going to where opportunity is.

What a weird ass thing to say on a leftie forum lol Just say your parents pay your rent.

It really isnt go suck up the air somewhere else. Go be a doctor or something useful to poor people.

The πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§βœˆοΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡² in your profile tells me all I need to know about you πŸ™„

It's not a bad thing a rich kid is indulging in athletics. It's not great but you're hating on somebody that has done 0 bad to people and society when she easily had the opportunity to inflict lots of pain for more capital

Even on a microecon level she's putting so much of her family's money into the economy rather than just shoving it into investment vehicles

Noooooooooppeeee. All cope. Go be a doctor or help homeless people, give back to society because your family already stole so much.

Its not enough to have good political views because its just words and ideas

One of my parents had all their properties and businesses confiscated when the communist party took control of the country when they were a child, and my other parent sold things off a cart on the streets to tourists as a kid

Both immigrated to UK with nothing. I was the first one in my family to graduate from highschool

I've been paying my own tuition and rent since I was 19 years old because my parents had 0 savings their entire lives paying off a 5% down payment mortgage working factory jobs

Moved to the US after graduation because UK wages are dirt

What about it
