Controversies	• She attracted controversy amid all the questions about her nationality. She was born and brought up in San Francisco, California, USA but in 2019 she represented her mother’s home country China at the international games. Whereas China does not allow dual citizenship, she has not officially given up her US citizenship and has deferred entry to Stanford University till the summer of 2022 in order to join after the commencement of the Winter Olympics. She has skirted around the numerous questions regarding her nationality and has given diplomatic statements such as she is Chinese in China and American in America. This has earned her a loyal fanbase in China which is proud of her for reconnecting with her Chinese ethnicity but on the other hand, citizens of the US seem upset over the fact and have called her thankless on Instagram. Also, Fox News has labeled her the “ungrateful child of America.”  • The 18-year-old once again got caught in the middle of a controversy when one her follower on Instagram asked her why she was getting preferential treatment in China where Chinese citizens are not allowed to use Instagram and the app is banned in the country. She replied to the comment that everyone can download VPN (a way to skirt the firewall boundaries set by the government by hiding the location of the user which is illegal) and use Instagram in China. The screenshot of this conversation somehow reached Weibo (China’s version of Instagram) and got viral. The Chinese government took immediate action on this and the posts having the comment started showing a blank screen.
