I heard about her disappearance from social media for a time. Can you link information about her kidnapping please.
- FooBarWidget 5y agoI am confused about your request. Are you asking for Chinese sources of her kidnapping?
- legutierr 5y agoHere is a general overview of events: https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/19/tennis/peng-shuai-china-explainer-intl-hnk/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/19/tennis/peng-shuai-china-expla... Relevant quotes: > For almost three weeks following the accusation, Peng was not seen in public and her whereabouts were not publicly disclosed. > WTA chief Simon told CNN he had been in conversation with counterparts at the Chinese Tennis Association, who had provided assurances Peng was unharmed in Beijing. However, attempts to reach Peng directly had proved unsuccessful, he said. After her initial disappearance (not just from social media, but also from public) she has only been seen in stage-managed circumstances, only accompanied by state officials: > New video clips of the tennis star were tweeted by members of Chinese state media on November 20 and 21. > One clip appears to show Peng sitting with China Open tournament co-director Zhang Junhui and two women around a table in a restaurant in Beijing. The clips appear to deliberately emphasize specific dates. Throughout the video, Zhang is speaking to Peng, but she doesn't say anything. > Then later on Sunday, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced its President Thomas Bach held a video phone call with Peng. The two were accompanied on the call by a Chinese sports official, Li Lingwei, as well as the Chair of the Athletes' Commission, Emma Terho. The evidence points to her having been physically seized by state officials, who seem to be attempting to mitigate the PR crisis created by her accusations by controlling her physical person. Of course, this is only my opinion and personal interpretation of reported events.
