This limits individuality and restricts creative latitude. Besides, Chen is already dragging baggage. Some fans accuse her of riding her brother's coattails.

...fighter jets began their biggest combat operation since the Gulf War, launching a sweep through southeastern Afghanistan that some said would be the last major offensive against al-Qaeda forces. About 1,000 British commandos scoured the mountainous regions of Paktia province in what was dubbed Operation Snipe. But U.S. officials said there were several operations under way, with allied troops also preparing to strike in areas across the Pakistan border...
