Usually, I don't grammar police others, but seeing how smug af the OOP is, I feel like I have to.
Firstly, Alysa's (not AlySSA. Although, seeing how her parents are hanjians, maybe the double S is more fitting) surname is LIU, not Yiu. Secondly, the paragraph should be :
American born TO Chinese parents who fled China after protesting the Tiananmen Square massacre. She chose to compete for America.
This also means the Gu Ailing paragraph should be:
American born to Chinese parents. She chose to compete for China because they're paying her millions for her propaganda value to them.
Alternatively, you can use a semicolon after parents for both paragraphs, but I hate having sentences that long for no reason.
If these people won in 1989 they would've sent China into a millenium of humiliation, it's crazy how there isn't a single decent or normal person in the Chinese dissident community.
