Lord Mayor of Dublin On 29 June 2020, Chu was elected the 352nd Lord Mayor of Dublin, succeeding interim mayor Tom Brabazon.[12] Chu is the ninth woman, and first person of Chinese descent, to hold the role.[13] This a such a banal description. Is there nothing more relevant that can be mentioned than her ancestry?
Harassment Subsequent to her election to the council and the media attention around it, Chu became a target of racist online harassment, particularly on Twitter. Her harassers labelled her a migrant, denied that she was an Irish national, and claimed she was a product of the so-called "great replacement", a conspiracy theory propagated by the alt-right. The harassment later escalated to phone calls to her home. Justin Barrett, leader of the far-right fringe group the National Party, publicly indicated that if he ever got into power, he would attempt to strip Chu of her citizenship, despite her Irish birth.[14] Chu stated her resolution to not be intimidated by the harassment and to continue with her political career.[3][5][15][16]
In January 2021 Chu described having been racially abused by a group of far-right protestors who had gathered outside her home.[17]
This kind of stuff isnt meant to be a biographies as it is a recentism. Aerchasúr ( Aerchasúr ( talk) 10:42, 23 January 2021 (UTC) talk) 09:22, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
She isnt Chinese. She is Irish and peoeple of Chinese ancestory have been in office before. It is only relevant if there was a history of Chinese people being excluded from office here. The comments about harrassment are recentisms and they are not normally accepted on biographies. Aerchasúr ( talk) 10:42, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Someone has helpfully added a Chinese translation of the birth name. I assume good faith, but Google Translate played it back to English as "Zhu Song-Fei" or Zhu Song-Wei", which appear very different from the presented (expanded) Anglicised form, so if someone could double-check, please? It does seem to match the cross-linked article. There is the Cantonese vs Mandarin aspect, but does that affect names... SeoR ( talk) 07:46, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
