Tennis Star’s Sexual Assault Claim Against Ex-Top Chinese Official Triggers Online Censors

The #MeToo movement in its nascent stage in China is facing headwinds – the Chinese state-run Global Times ran a commentary in September accusing the West of using the movement to “instigate chaos, division and even subversion in China.”

Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai appeared to have made a now-censored post on Chinese social media accusing former vice premier Zhang Gaoli of sexually assaulting her around three years ago, according to media reports Wednesday, in the first allegation of its kind to reach the upper echelon of the Communist Party.

KEY FACTS
According to the Washington Post, a screenshot of Peng’s post on her verified Weibo, a Chinese version of Twitter, is spreading online alleging that Zhang—who was one of seven members of the Communist party’s most powerful body, the Politburo Standing Committee between 2012 and 2017—forced her to have sex with him when Zhang and his spouse invited her to have a meal about three years ago.
Peng and Zhang also allegedly had an affair for years—high ranking Chinese government officials are prohibited from having extramarital affairs—and Peng became outraged that their relationship had to be kept quiet, according to multiple reports that were unable to verify the posts or corroborate the accusations.

She did not provide any evidence. She said it happened more than a decade ago. Police in any country would have a hard time investigating something more than a decade ago. She ran her last race in 2017. She has no endorsements. Her income was pitiful and she was probably paid by the CIA. She made up the story for money.

Wow! what a mindset! The Chinese never want to blame themselves for their own transgressions. It always HAS to be someone else.

Just a fragile society where any bad news is weighed as a potential civil unrest threat.

Why blame Chinese officials when there is no evidence? Isn't making fake news what The Americans do best?

Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo even boasted, "I was the CIA director, we lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment."

Chinese sports star is a CIA agent? Not convincing.

CNN said Peng Shuai and Zhang Gaoli had an affair for five years from 2012 to 2017. Is there any photo and video evidence in these 5 years?

The time is too long, the evidence of rape should be difficult to find. But according to CCP discipline, even extramarital affairs are enough for Zhang Gaoli to be disciplined. However, China's legal principle is "no suspected crime", and it can't be convicted without any evidence.

CIA paid her.

 

[hualushui]

She is an athlete and often goes to other countries to participate in competitions.
Once she tells about the scandal after going abroad, he can do nothing.
Zhang is a politician. Will he bet his political future on such a very uncertain matter? I can hardly believe it.

No it won't. Chinese people are well familiar with the fact that many Chinese high-sounding officials are corrupt and lustful beyond comprehension. Many anti-corruption campaigns launched by the leading politicians to crush their opponents often make sure such dirty laundries are aired. This particular news could well be a calculated step in such an effort. Chinese society will move on despite all this.

LOL! That post by Pompeo applies to every spy agency on the planet.

You think China marks on Chinese passports that particular citizens are spies so foreign governments can know who to follow? haha!

For an air tight container, thin air IS a big news. For an open container, you need hurricanes to make big news.

It always HAS to be someone else.

And when in doubt, it's the CIA. Always.
