Something very strange, mysterious and worrying has happened to the tennis player Peng Shuai. I hope she's found, safe, well and happy.

Might be found, once she's changed her mind about her story and realised she was definitely wrong.0 -
A horrible regime.2

Something will have to happen soon though, when players with profiles as high as Djokovic and Serena Williams are speaking out, China can't just hope this will go away.
I wonder if the tennis authorities will threaten to remove the China open and Shanghai masters from the calendar, or if players will simply refuse to play there?1 -
Or maybe a boycott of next years winter Olympics?1

Steve Simon chief exec. WTA is prepared to pull the ten events scheduled in China for 2022 (worth tens of millions of dollars) if there is no adequate response from the Chinese authorities.

Well done to him if he goes through with it, hopefully sets an example for other sports to follow.

People should quite rightly cast aspersions about the Chinese authorities.
There are many areas of life in China controlled by the Chinese authorities that are quite frankly appalling.
The accusation of assault is against the deputy leader.
In the west there are similar accusations against well known figures.
All need confronting.
There needs to be an equality of reaction towards all such cases.
Given the distorted reaction towards some other areas of Chinese life, one must hope forensic realism triumphs over distorted prejudice, so as ordinary Chinese people are not tarred with the same brush as their corrupt leaders.5 -
More than likely now being 're-educated' along with those poor Uyghurs in those lovely education centres the nice Chinese government have laid on.
Education education education.3 -
I don’t think anyone is equating the powers that be with the man on the street Seth.0

Good to see the tennis authorities move so quickly on this one. personally hope they stick to a boycott of China until she is found, allowed to leave, and free to explain what happened to her.3
