The saga of the missing player Peng Shuai has now seen global organisations get involved with both the UN and WTA asking China to send proof after a murky email emerged
Over the years, despite China gaining an increased reputation of trampling over its citizens and anyone who dares raise a voice against the CCP regime, the international community has remained oblivious to the plight of the Chinese people.
Email Claimed To Be From Peng Shuai Emerges After The Screenshot Of Her Weibo Post Goes Viral
Apart from a handful of countries who have had to suffer the brute brunt of Chinese atrocities, the global stage has remained a mere spectator to the CCP’s misconducts. However, the absence of Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai has finally seen the world arise from its slumber.
Peng has been missing across a string of days now with her vanishing up in thin smoke ever since she accused the previous Chinese Vice President of sexual assault. Peng who had posted the allegations on Weibo not only had her post deleted by the Chinese authorities but no one has also heard from her since.

A dubious email had floated online yesterday, one which claimed to be from the tennis player where she talked about her being safe and in her house. She also talked about how the WTA needed to stop publishing about her having disappeared, contents which saw people point fingers at the legitimacy of the email.

WTA And The UN Ask China To Reveal The Location Of The Missing Peng Shuai
The WTA has taken a note of the entire set of events with the governing council revealing that it was pondering over withdrawing from China if Peng didn’t reappear.
“We are ready to abandon our business and deal with all the consequences that come with it. Because it is unquestionably larger than the business,” WTA chairman Steve Simon said.
The UN has also thrown its weight behind locating Peng with the United Nations asking China to furnish information pertaining to the tennis star’s whereabouts along with asking for full transparency into her allegations of sexual assault.
“According to available information, Peng, a former world doubles number one, hasn’t been heard from publicly since she alleged on social media that she had been sexually assaulted.”
“We would stress that it’s important to know where she is and her state, know about her well-being,” Liz Throssell, a spokeswoman for UN rights chief Michelle Bachelet’s office said in Geneva.
