That 18 year olds are dumb? Fox News has terribly racist and patriotic reasons for being mad at this, but she's still making a poor choice, which is her right.

Gu spoke out about anti-Asian racism in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic, after the 2021 Atlanta spa shootings and after an elderly Asian man in San Francisco died from a racist attack. She has described her own experience with anti-Asian racism, having endured a man screaming obscenities about Asians infecting America with COVID-19 at her and her grandmother in a shop.[24] Gu also supports the Black Lives Matter movement.[25][26] She has also been described as "a strong advocate of gender equality and representation of women in sports".[8]
Gu was raised by her Chinese mother and grandmother, and thus can speak fluent Mandarin Chinese as well as English.[26][27] As a hobby, she plays the piano.[7]
Online hate
In March 2021, Gu revealed that she had been receiving hostility over her decision to compete for China, including death threats and "endless hate" over social media since as young as 15 years old.[28]

I personally think America is much better than China, but I am not going to blame an 18 year old Asian American for making this decision given how this country has treated her for her short time so far on this earth.
