I'm sure American feminists will be all over this. Just like they care so much about women in radical Muslim countries. Like who would give the World Soccer Cup to Qatar.

In November, Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai posted a message on the Chinese social media platform Weibo claiming that a high-ranking Chinese Communist Party official, Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli, had “forced” her to have sex.
Within minutes, the post was taken down, Peng disappeared from the Chinese internet, and her friends said she was nowhere to be found. Concern grew that Peng had been jailed for making her accusation. The Women’s Tennis Association, the IOC, and other tennis stars pleaded with the Chinese government not to harm her.
In a carefully choreographed appearance at a youth tennis event two weeks later, Peng emerged claiming to be fine and unharmed. It wasn’t very convincing. The WTA demanded to interview her, and when the Chinese authorities refused, they canceled all pro tennis tournaments in China.
Now a Shanghai newspaper says that they interviewed Peng and that she told them that she never said that Zang had assaulted her...
That Nov. 2 post on Weibo was sheer dynamite. But as Peng pointed out, she had no proof.
BBC:
“I know that someone of your eminence, Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli, you’ll say that you’re not afraid”, Ms Peng wrote in her post, “but even if it’s just striking a stone with a pebble, or a moth attacking a flame and courting self destruction, I will tell the truth about you.”
She said he had first coerced her after she visited his home to play tennis. “That afternoon I didn’t give my consent and couldn’t stop crying,” she wrote. “You brought me to your house and forced me and you to have relations”.
You would guess that if her account had been hacked, she would have angrily denied that she wrote it, given the problems she obviously knew it would cause.
The Chinese Communists have a hold of some kind over her — threats to family members or friends. Peng isn’t the first prisoner of the Chinese Communists who isn’t behind bars but has been silenced anyway due to the implicit threat of government action against a loved one.
With the Winter Olympics coming up in February, the Chinese Communists are trying to scrub all the blemishes from their image that they can.
