Nationality edit

I haven't made any edits to the article yet, but it looks like there is some dispute in the edits that have been made as to his dual nationality. According to the IOC he has to be a national of China to compete, just as much as someone like Eileen Gu.[1] The IOC seems to require a passport as evidence. The IIHF also describes the naturalized players as "dual nationals."[2] According to Kunlun Red Star, all players on the national team are citizens of China.[3] Is there anything to reverting the edits that say he is a national of China? -- YgFZAcpJUJ (talk) 19:00, 10 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

See latest RS Source:[4]
It seems that per the WSJ all these US, Canadian, and the one Russian-born players of Team China are dual-nationals, have a passport, and compete under a Chinese name. Nothing is said about the typo of passport though and it could be a temporary one. 200.88.239.21 (talk) 01:30, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
That source is behind a paywall. 2 other reliable sources cited in the article explicitely state that Chelios, Jeremy Smith and others were naturalized Chinese. Place Clichy (talk) 18:37, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Let's keep the discussion at a central place. intforce (talk) 00:08, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
I thought that the discussion was centralized at Talk:Jeremy Smith (ice hockey) § Nationality, until this edit summary where you pointed to Talk:Jake Chelios (i.e. here). Place Clichy (talk) 08:09, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
