Given the issues with the Olympics in general no one should attend.

  I believe there are new calls to boycott because of Peng Shuai's disappearance. It seems so strange to me that this is such a mystery. Can't reporters go to her home and ring the bell?

    Think about what country they'd be doing this in.

      If the government isn't lying, then there's no reason for any reporter to be worried, right? Is the fact that no reporter is doing this essentially proof that the government is lying? Set aside the reporter question - surely she has some colleagues, friends, and family for whom it would not be unexpected for them to stop by?

    I remember seeing some YouTube video that politically sensitive people are under "house arrest" in a high-rise apartment, and there are plain clothes police who guard the entrance (the apartment buildings have another gate at the beginning of the neighborhood, like a US gated community) and probably check the ID of unknown faces, ask them who they're there to see, and can refuse entry. If you said "I'm just here to see Joe Sixpack" they'll probably ask Joe if he knew you... Also, getting even a tourist/any kind of visa if your occupation is "journalist" is hard enough, I think they'd probably google you and see what you've written about China...
