I also did not know American bombers killed Chairman Mao’s only son in a 1950 raid.

I'm surprised she got in, being asian and all.

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Very interesting
In reading a little about this young lady, I found the following in a Chinese Newspaper, which I think is the one referenced in Joe's link:
She had earned an undergraduate degree from Harvard in 2014, where she was enrolled under a pseudonym.The report states that Xi Mingzhi was unsatisfied with her life in China after living for several years as a student in the United States. Out of love for his daughter, Xi Jinping was reportedly persuaded to let her return to school in Massachusetts, where she had enjoyed her undergraduate years.
Some observers also consider the move, if true, to be a potential safeguard. Sending his daughter back to the U.S. might be considered a diplomatic measure to signal trust in Washington and also a means for Xi to remove his daughter from harm if factional struggles within the Communist Party were ever to threaten Xi’s grip on power.
