What's in a name? Or a passport?

"The athlete has repeatedly dodged questions on the matter, saying only that she feels American when she's in America and Chinese when she's in China."

Because what's on your passport isn't objective truth as to your allegiance. [/s]

    I'm growing so tired of this imbecilic and ungrateful culture. The myopia will only feed the corruption and contempt of the 'elite' mindset of our pubic servants, emboldening them further by justifying their belief that most people, who aren't them, are total morons.

    Damn shame future generations in the us will never realize freedom, even to a modest extent I had.

    I’m just going to call it out for it’s objective truth. She’s an opportunistic little whore, in the sense that she’ll be who she has to be for money, who has NOTHING in common with the Chinese people.
    Does anybody believe she doesn’t get pampered and have special treatment by Beijing? If she were to truly have a taste of the government she’s so proud of she’d run back to California screaming about how oppressed she was. Pretty sure none of her family was starving in Shanghai.
    In short......(forgive me Nan)........F HER!

    On the other hand she is pursuing her own self interest. So Rand would be impressed. So I guess the objectivity cuts both ways.

    In the FOUNTAINHEAD Peter Keating tried to play both sides to "win" and Ayn wrote him as character deficient.

    Rational self-interest is related to depth of character (of which this young athlete has none).
