Do you consider Zhu Yi & Eileen Gu to be Chinese?

Both are ethnically Chinese, They represent China on the international stage (the Olympics). China has spent over $6.64 million USD training these two, yet due to the fact that China does not allow dual nationality - both do not have Chinese Citizenship, just residency in China. Do you consider these two to be Chinese?
