Peng Shuai in a video on state TV: “Never talked about sexual assault”

Peng Shuai denies everything, but the case of the Chinese tennis player seems more open than ever. The athlete she said in an interview that she had never accused anyone of sexually assaulting her. She added that she has always been in her home Beijing without his movements being restricted. The latter have all too punctual answers to the questions that the world has been asking itself since November so as not to seem constructed and forced. Equally unconvincing the choice to deny, as it had been misinterpreted, a statement that had instead appeared convincing and real.

Peng spoke in a short interview with the Singapore-language Chinese-language newspaper Lianhe Zaobao and then appeared in person at an International Cross-Country Ski Federation event in Shanghai. “I have to underline a point that is extremely important, I have never said or written that someone has sexually assaulted me, I have to make this point clearly,” he explained, speaking of a misunderstanding.

Beijing is preparing for the winter games next February and must show a clean face, not only in sporting terms. The tennis player was shot in a video broadcast by Qingqing Chen, a reporter for the Chinese government newspaper Global Times. With her is the giant Yao Ming, symbol of Chinese basketball, Olympic sailing champion Xu Lijia and two-time Olympic gold medal in table tennis Wang Liqin.

The Chinese tennis player had disappeared after having reported being sexually harassed by former Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Gaoli with a tweet on the Chinese Weibo social network. Since then weeks of silence and the social message obscured. The subsequent messages and appearances seemed constructed and the international protest did not stop, including the suspension of all women’s tournaments on Chinese soil.

Another manipulation of the tennis player according to Yaqiu Wang, a researcher of Human Rights Watch and according to many others. The only truth according to Beijing.
