Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai informs Olympic committee she is 'safe and well'Chinese tennis star Peng Shaui, whose disappearance from the public eye following a sexual assault allegation raised safety concerns, has video call with top Olympic officials to discuss her safety, IOC says. Hmm 🤨 this is really strange what does her family say? And why can’t she be on social media What more could you possibly want? This seems to be rather conclusive that she is well and not being constrained. Surely this is more a case of western media latching on to a story which has attracted attention simply because it appears to put China in a bad light.

WhereisPengShuai FreePengShuai I think that it is time for the Olympic committee to demand that Peng Shuai be produced publicly outside of China? Who would believe in a word from IOC who has a history of corruption?
