When Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai went public with a bombshell sexual assault accusation against a retired top official, China’s response was to censor all discussion of the allegation internally—and dismiss growing international concern over Peng’s whereabouts and safety.
But China’s attempt to make Peng’s #MeToo allegation disappear—most recently by releasing an email purportedly from Peng that says she is safe and denies the initial sexual assault accusation—has only intensified international scrutiny.
Is the government of China protecting rapists and persecuting their victims?
No, they’re a massive, repressive, often opaque authoritarian/state capitalist country. As I said, if we’re going to have a discussion about the possibility of refocusing US foreign policy (and reciprocal US relationships) based on stuff like this, I am open to it. But—just a hunch—I suspect you’re not actually interested in that.
The CCP does not like people becoming powerful who are not part of the party. She’s not the only one who has dropped out of site. Ma is gone too. Many more. There’s tons of news out of China I only see on Youtube from foreign sources.
Wiki says it was Bill who really got trade going for the CCP mass murderers… I seem to remember him taking China money and the fake news shilling for him and the FBI hiding it…
" For example, U.S. imports from China almost doubled within five years from $51.5 billion in 1996 to $102 billion in 2001".
Not that the Bush admin did anything to change it… They doubled down on trading with mass murderers . And here we are on the verge of war with them.
Ain’t the swamp great? It full of honest and brilliant people right? Harvard educated!..
How the heck did we give money to China to make biological weapons at Wuhan?
China uses capitalism for the betterment of the state. They’re not a capitalist country. But—just a hunch—probably why no one’s interested in that underlying premise.
