Chinese tennis pro Peng's disappearance may be part of Xi's cultural crackdown
Fox News
The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai shows another example of a country intent on cracking down on anyone who poses a threat to the authority of cultural purity of the country.
The post disappeared from her verified Weibo account, and China’s state-controlled media appears to have suppressed any reporting on the case. Peng also disappeared from the public since making the post.
World Tennis Association (WTA) CEO Steve Simon told TIME that no one at the group has talked directly to Peng but that he had received assurances that she was safe and "not under physical threat."
Association of Tennis Professionals Chairman Andrea Guandenzi echoed these sentiments, adding that the organization was "satisfied" by these claims while also urging an investigation into the allegations.
