That's fine, but it should be fine and possible to criticize someone for their actions yet acknowledge their past sports achievements. It sounds like the Chinese media has chosen to forget their achievements.


I don't intend to criticize Ye. Her story deserves to be known regardless of whether it's been reported before or any of her possible involvement in fringe political groups.
