Peng Shuai: fresh videos fail to ease concerns as China faces global backlash
In yet another new video shared by Chinese state media on Sunday, missing tennis star Peng Shuai was seen attending the final match of a teenagers’ tournament.
In the latest video, she is seen attending the China Open while wearing a dark blue jacket and white trousers with her hair tied into a ponytail, and smiling and waving at the audience.
Earlier, 35-year-old Chinese tennis star was seen eating Peng at a restaurant with her friends and coach.
The three-time Olympian’s whereabouts have been a mystery since she accused the former Chinese vice premier Zhang Gaoli, a member of the country’s ruling Communist Party’s Standing Committee, of “forcing” her to have sex with him.
Her allegation first emerged on Weibo the Twitter alternative in China but was quickly deleted.
