Yeah I think the chances of Eileen Gu being a committed communist are essentially zero. Most Chinese people aren't communists, and honestly don't give a shit either way. So long as the Party does a good job at governing China, it will receive support.
I mostly agree, but at the same time, she’s dealing first hand with the negative effects of US imperialist policy/propaganda, and that could very well radicalize someone.
honestly if she's not a communist or at least someone who is very critical of American foreign policy i fail to find a reason why she would choose to compete for China other than opportunism.
yeah, people are way too overhyped on her. she's a good athlete and as you said it's funny to see everyone having a meltdown over it, but it's probably the biggest neolib maneuver ever. she correctly sees the US as a sinking ship and China as an emerging giant and wants to build her brand in the most effective way possible.
this is the kinda shit that China needs to root out in the coming decades or else they risk having a population that does not care about people but only their treats.
did you see her reply to someone saying that they can't access whatever website in china? she goes to china very often and at the very least knows that comment was based on a lie.
i think she's more informed than you guys think.
Someone should post that to r/MurderedByWords and watch the hogs go wild.

That would be rad as fuck honestly. An actual communist celebrity activist seems like it would be really important right now.

If she decided to do any sort of activism she would be labeled a communist anyway.
