She’s a paragon of women’s empowerment, hoping to inspire women in China to be fearless
She is not only one of the world’s top skiers, but also a model, pianist, and star student, boasting dozens of lucrative endorsement deals worth tens of millions of dollars with global luxury brands like Cadillac,
China. Has. No. Idea. What. They. Are. Starting.
Why is she funded by known feminist and Democratic Party donor Mary Barra's GM?
Lock her up. Lock up everyone who utters the words "women's empowerment" because it's a dogwhistle for the most evil regimes in modern history.
There won't be a China if they don't learn to identify a feminist plant. They already had to silence feminists once because they were getting unhinged.

That's one country I'm okay with taking the hit.
It's also the one where the damage is inevitable. The decades of one-child-policy have given women outsized social capital, where tens of millions of "spare" men are competing for their attentions and affections.
This has been one of the weirdest, most jarring parts of the Olympics, for me - the Australian broadcaster's profiling and general... Promotion, of Gu, sometimes at the expense of Australian athletes in the same event, or at least competing at the same time...
They show Gu's events over and over, while neglecting the Aussies competing in other events at the same time, and then go on and on, endlessly, about how she is "the face of the Games" and "It's Eileen Gu's world, and we're all just living in it", etc, etc, to the point of almost inducing vomit...
They even focus on interviewing her, at the expense of Australian athletes in the same event. They have also done that with a couple of other Americans, and one other Chinese...
It's twee, it's weird, it's jarring, it is blatant, bald-faced propaganda, and, as an actual Aussie, I fucking hate it...
Not sure if it is the same on NBC in the US, but seeing as she is actually American, I can only imagine...
For posterity's sake. I don't think we really need to worry about "bias", here. The site seems pretty damn obscure, and the author suitably based. But there you have it, in case you wan' it.
Genuinely good shit, and I no longer feel the need to... Qualify my thoughts, I suppose, about Gu, because the author sums them up better than I could, lol...
I mean, people generally don't reach the level of success required to do any of what she has, let alone all of it, without very rich parents, with access to, uhh, let's say "political capital"...
What the hell was her mum doing in America, in the first place, anyway?? Spying?? And if she was so keen on "American enterprise" and "bringing her daughter up American", why essentially buy her Chinese citizenship..??
Something doesn't add up, here. Like Soviet sleeper agents (at least in fiction)... The whole thing is very, very weird. Especially for someone "raised by a single, (first generation!!) immigrant mother"...

China needs MORE feminism. Best way to start infighting and kill off a communist dictatorship.
Let's not give a regime of genocidal psychopaths access to a country with very low regard for human rights and God only knows how many weapons of war.
Collapse now! Smash the commies!

You shouldn't be. Nothing guarantees our doom faster than 2/3 world powers being theirs. China + US alliance would make them effectively unstoppable.
You don't understand. A feminist 'takeover' of China is impossible.
We're talking complete societal breakdown, regression to the bronze age, mass starvation, not a continuance of the paper dragon of regional power.

Academic or no, this is on point, let's just say.
