Winter Olympics: Chinese freestyle ski star Eileen Gu’s mother gives advice to parents hoping to raise a champion

Eileen has won the hearts of tens of millions of mainland fans, helped by her fluent Mandarin with a Beijing accent as a result of her mother originally being a Beijing native

 

While many of SG Chinese kids feel proud they can't even speak Mandarin :XD:

she's not very high EQ.... perhaps too young to know how special she is being treated and how it could all turn sour very very fast for her in china... hope she knows enough to at least bring out some of her prc endorsement million$ that she's gonna get, but if she actually did give up her US passport (another big issue), then she has cut her own retreat. Even CCP members know its essential to keep a secret passport.

She is going to Stanford in Autumn. No time to surrender her passport yet.

Before she could surrender, she needs to pay her due to IRS 1st.

It is not ez to take money out of China, Legally. Especially with all these endorsements.
