Photo: Fred Lee/Getty Images Missing tennis star Peng Shuai reappeared in public on Sunday at a youth tennis tournament in Beijing, according to videos released by Chinese state media. Also on Sunday, the International Olympic Committee said that Peng had spoken via video with officials from the organization and told them she was “safe and well.
Later Sunday, the International Olympic Committee said in a statement that Peng took part in a 30-minute video call with IOC officials. “She explained that she is safe and well, living at her home in Beijing, but would like to have her privacy respected at this time. That is why she prefers to spend her time with friends and family right now,” the statement from the Olympic body said. A few days earlier, the IOC said it would take a “quiet diplomacy” approach to Peng’s situation.
Peng’s disappearance from public view prompted many to call for proof of her well-being. As USA Today points out, “even if Peng’s accusation is deemed valid, people in China often are jailed or face other penalties for embarrassing the party by publicizing complaints about abuses instead of going through the secretive, often unresponsive official system.
