    Gold medallist freestyle skier Eileen Gu's success at the Beijing Winter Olympics is not limited to the slopes. The US-born athlete who has been competing for China at the Games is also making millions through endorsement deals with at least 23 brands in the country. While some online users have been questioning​​ her nationality since China does not allow dual citizenship, many fans in Beijing were eager to share their thoughts with the SCMP when asked about the free ski superstar.

      yes talent and hard work same as many of thousands of athletes that came to represent their countries , let's be honest the only reason they are supporting her this much is because she won the gold medals and hailed as hero to the country not just her skill, i guarantee you the moment she loses her medals in the next winter olympics, the same people you hailed and supported her as a hero will be the ones defaming and criticizing for losing, look at what happened to Zhu Yi, complete night and day when it comes to supporting a "hero" and a "villian", you don't she works hard to qualify and represent China to try and win a gold medal?

      You're right that she would have better endorsement deals in China, but I don't think it's because of her (mixed) race -- it's because sports are already big-business in the US. The US simply has "too many" world-famous athletes competing for endorsement deals, and the big endorsements in the US are centered around the major spectator sports like basketball, baseball, and American football.
      Winter sports like skiing and snowboarding are simply less popular, and even white-male athletes like Shaun White get much fewer endorsement deals compared to basketball or football players.

You still didn't answer the question whether Chinese and Chinese government would be as tolerant if a top China born and China raised athlete decided to represent America instead of China? Would there be legal consequences for that China born athlete & public hate and lynching? Lets not pretend there wouldn't be. America for all its faults is a tolerant and free country.

What you described is more the recent behaviours of US government rather than Chinese, and look at most of the top research scientists in in US universities, most have adopted US as their countries but see how they are being treated by their own government because they are Chinese, on the last counts I read from US papers there are something like over 200 cases pending in the US courts the US government brought against these scientists which is ashamed and these are naturalised US citizens, and hence you see the top physics scientists, the father of the US-born figure skating athlete, Beverly Chu, decided to take his family and went back to China.. you should research and learn more from non-US media or living in Asia will help you broaden your knowledge my dear 😉

    When Eileen Gu joined the Chinese team at this Winter Olympics and won a gold medal for China, the American media and politicians ridiculed Eileen Gu so much, which shows that
    the United States has lost its due confidence in the face of China now.
    Americans may have forgotten that Jane Lang, a Chinese women's volleyball player trained by China, once coached the American women's volleyball team after retirement. Jane Lang
    led the American women's volleyball team to win the silver medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, not to mention how many Chinese are there. All areas of the United States serve the United
    States.Just like the so-called diplomatic boycott of the Olympics by the United States and some Western countries, all this cannot stop China's success. Thousands of athletes and officials
    from all over the world (including the United States and Western countries) have felt it in Beijing. To the charm of modern China, feel the charm of China's high-tech era. I believe they see
    the real China, this is just the beginning, this is a big trend, there will be more and more examples like Eileen Gu in the future.
