Tennis star Naomi Osaka says she’s been shocked to hear about a fellow player who has gone quiet since making a sexual assault allegation against a former top government official in China.
Other leading players, including men’s No. 1 Novak Djokovic, expressed alarm at the situation, and the organizers of the women’s and men’s professional tennis tours have called for a full investigation into the allegations made by the two-time Grand Slam doubles champion.Chinese authorities have squelched online discussion of sexual-assault allegations apparently made by a tennis star against a former senior official.
“Her accusation about the conduct of a former Chinese leader involving a sexual assault must be treated with the utmost seriousness.” Peng, 35, wrote that Zhang Gaoli, a former vice premier and member of the ruling Communist Party’s all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee, had forced her to have sex despite repeated refusals following a round of tennis three years ago. She said Zhang’s wife guarded the door during the incident.As is usual for retired Chinese officials, the 75-year-old Zhang dropped from public sight after his retirement in 2018 and is not known to have any close connections to current leaders.
Her accusation was the first against a prominent government official since the #MeToo movement took hold in China in 2018 before being largely tamped down by authorities the same year.

That’s why we like strong people who call beautiful things beautiful and disgusting things disgusting, and whose point of view doesn’t change only because this is a Chinese official who is tired of fucking his wife. Goat.
