Concerns mount over China tennis star's safety after raising sexual assault allegation



Peng Shuai hasn't appeared in public since posting allegations



The Associated Press · Posted: Nov 18, 2021 10:19 AM ET | Last Updated: 2 hours ago



A Chinese professional tennis player not seen in public since she accused a former top government official of sexual assault purportedly sent an email claiming she was safe and that the allegation was false, a message that only amplified concerns about her safety and demands for information about her well-being and whereabouts.



So far, those calls have been met by silence.



Chinese officials have said nothing publicly since the accusation about two weeks ago by Grand Slam doubles champion Peng Shuai that she was sexually assaulted. The first #MeToo case to reach the political realm in China has not been reported by the domestic media and online discussion of it has been highly censored.



Steve Simon, the chairman and CEO of the Women's Tennis Association, questioned the authenticity of what Chinese state media said was an email intended for him in which Peng says she is safe and that the assault allegation is untrue. It was posted Thursday by CGTN, the international arm of Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.



"I have a hard time believing that Peng Shuai actually wrote the email we received or believes what is being attributed to her," Simon wrote.



The statement, he added, "only raises my concerns as to her safety and whereabouts."

She has re-emerged and is now denying everything... Denying that she even made such claims.

The fact that she is now denying it is not strange in XIville

I gave up on this story.
