Eileen Gu is a Chinese-American skier who grew up in the United States, but she has chosen multiple times to represent China in the Winter Olympics, which has caused controversy in the U.S.

U.S. Vice President Pence said he was unsure how her eligibility should be determined; that depends on the Olympic Committee. However, he hopes American citizens will represent the U.S. on the world stage because they are educated in America and enjoy American freedoms and rights.

Some people have called Eileen Gu a 'traitor to America' because of this.

Others compare her to another Chinese-American figure skater, Michelle Kwan, who grew up in the U.S. and firmly represents America.
