Although scandals by top CCP leaders have occurred from time to time in recent years, real-name accusations like Peng Shuai are still the first. According to external analysis, this is related to factional struggles within the CCP. The International Women’s Tennis Association and many famous tennis players who know Peng Shuai are deeply worried about Peng Shuai’s current safety.
Steve Simon, president of the International Women’s Tennis Association, issued a statement on the 14th, saying that as a women’s organization, the organization is committed to the principles of equality, opportunity and respect. Take it seriously and hope that this issue will be handled properly. “This means that the allegations must be investigated in a comprehensive, fair, transparent and unreviewed manner.”
The statement pointed out: “In all societies, Peng Shuai’s alleged actions need to be investigated, not forgiven or ignored. We commend Peng Shuai for his extraordinary courage and strength to come forward.” “Peng Shuai and all women’s voices should be heard. Instead of being censored by the CCP.”
Simon said at the end of the statement: “The health and safety of our players is our absolute and unwavering priority. We are speaking out for justice (for Peng Shuai).”
Since the exposure of Zhang Gaoli’s sex scandal, Peng Shuai’s whereabouts have become a mystery. Some netizens set up the label “Where is Peng Shuai” on Twitter, and many famous tennis players have asked about Peng Shuai’s current situation.
American female online star Chris Evert tweeted on the 14th, “These allegations are very disturbing…I have known Peng since she was 14 years old; we should all be worried; this is very serious; Where is she? Is she safe? Any information would be greatly appreciated.”
French player Alize Cornet tweeted: “Let us not remain silent.” Another French player Nicolas Mahut said: “The fact that Peng Shuai disappeared is not only a problem for the International Women’s Tennis Association. We are all worried.” British player Liam Broady exclaimed: “I can’t believe that such a thing will happen in the 21st century.”
The CCP has been rigorously censoring China’s Internet, and the private lives of top CCP leaders are particularly sensitive topics. Since Peng Shuai’s Weibo was banned by the CCP, keywords including “Peng Shuai”, “Zhang Gaoli”, “Vice Premier”, and “tennis” have been banned on Weibo. Even Peng Shuai mentioned that Zhang Gaoli said that “the universe is very Phrases such as “Big” and the name of the Korean TV drama “The Prime Minister and I” have also been blocked by the CCP.
