An American-born figure skater who renounced her US citizenship to compete for China at the Winter Olympics is being slammed on the country’s most popular social media app Sunday after a disappointing performance. Zhu Yi, 19, who skated onto the ice to cheers, fell twice during the women’s short program team event, knocking the host country down from third to fifth place. “Zhu Yi has fallen” immediately became the top trending topic on Weibo — the Chinese equivalent of Twitter — after her poor showing, racking up 200 million views in mere hours, according to CNN.

She plans to fly home and live in California after the Olympics. Since she is no longer a US Citizen, why would we allow that? Is it so terrible to force her to stay and live in her beloved home country of China, which she choose over US? Enjoy, Comrad.

First chance she had to give up her citizenship for her own glory she went for it. The American mixing bowl may be losing loyalty.

She grew up and trained in the US, and her red-chines mother made her switch teams. Her career is over in the USA. ANd now she is falling on her butt in the Olympics and the Chinese aren't too happy about it either. Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk to you again.

This is an example of how being born in America (even if her father is American) doesn't make you American. And once you give up that citizenship, forget coming back to live in this country. I not in favor of taxing everything, but I would support a tax for those "Americans" who gave up their US citizenship and then decided to come back and live in the USA - tax the heck out of them or go and stay in your new country.

You would think a country as big as China could develop its own skaters and wouldn't have to import one. I really can't imagine giving up US citizenship for Chinese but I guess to her, going to the Olympics was reason enough.

It may be that her extended family in China was being threatened (low social score, barred from good jobs, etc.) and she failed on purpose. Or it may be that China is thrilled she failed, to prove that China training far exceeds Americas. Everything is different in a dictatorship desperate for international cachet.

The 1980s TV crime drama Hunter featured an eponymous main character who popularized the catchphrase, “Works for me.” Today’s crime drama surrounding Hunter Biden evokes a different repeated utterance: “Who did Hunter work for?” The troubled presidential scion is in the news again and raising questions about his father, President Joe Biden. This unwanted attention has also renewed questions about the media’s relative lack of interest in the younger Biden’s highly questionable business interests during the 2020 presidential election. Earlier this week, Politico reported: “The New York Times is still digging into Hunter Biden’s business relationships.” The Gray Lady sued

Canada’s capital declared a state of emergency Sunday as police struggled to rein in ongoing protests against vaccine mandates. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, who declared the emergency, said in a statement that the increasingly rowdy demonstrations posed a “serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents.” Hundreds of trucks continued to occupy the downtown area near Canada’s parliament with no sign that the protesters planned to leave. The protests started in reaction to Canadian and U.S. laws that went into effect in January, requiring truckers crossing the border to be fully vaccinated. They have since morphed into

Canadians have done as they were told during the pandemic. They lined up for shots until the country had one of the developed world’s best vaccination rates; they endured some of North America’s longest lockdowns; and they’ve complied with a wide assortment of curfews and quarantines. But even in a society known for its civility and deference to authority, many are reaching their limit. Pent-up frustration and rage have burst into the downtown core of the nation’s capital, with hundreds of truckers and other protesters occupying Ottawa’s streets for nearly a week to oppose vaccine mandates.

They are a versatile fashion accessory and a staple in every woman's wardrobe. But now researchers say wearing ladies tights on your face could slash your risk of getting Covid. One of the criticisms aimed at commonly worn face coverings is that they do not fit tightly enough to significantly block viral particles from being inhaled or exhaled. As part of a new study, Cambridge University experts reviewed a variety of DIY hacks people have used to make masks fit better, including using rubber bands or tape. Curiously, they found the most effective tactic was to wrap pantyhose around the bottom half of the face—on top of a mask.

The $30 million grant program, which closed applications Monday and will begin in May, will provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts.
