Communist China Reportedly Paid US-Born Olympic Skier Eileen Gu This Enormous Amount in 2025
American-born Olympic freestyle skier Eileen Gu, who competes for China, reportedly received millions in funding from the Chinese government, according to a recent report. The Wall Street Journal reported that in 2025 “a public budget” showed that “the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau was set to pay Gu” and Zhu Yi — a U.S.-born figure skater, “a combined $6.6 million.” However, their names were later “deleted from the budgets soon after they emerged,” according to the outlet: In 2025, the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau was set to pay Gu and another athlete a combined $6.6 million. That figure emerged in a public budget that was released in early 2025. It accidentally included the names of Gu and figure skater Zhu Yi or Beverly Zhu, another U.S.-born Olympic athlete who competes for China. The document didn’t break down their individual payments, though it’s likely that Gu, a three-time Olympic medalist, received a larger share of the funding. In total, Beijing’s sports bureau was set to pay Gu and Zhu nearly 100 million yuan, or $14 million over the past three years. The most recent allocation was for “striving for excellent results in qualifying for the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics,” according to the budget.
