This is how someone gets themselves disappeared in China.

So as I understand the timeline:

- Tennis player levels sex abuse charges against a high ranking Communist Party member

- Tennis player disappears a few weeks

- Tennis player sends an email that all is OK and oh, by the way, I am also a liar about all that sex stuff so lets just forget it

- Chinese state media sends proof of life photos

- Tennis player pops up at a few "public events" where only state media is present

I am certainly reassured that all is fine now, thanks Pooh Bear Xi for your response.

Pretty much. 
 

To their credit the women’s tennis tour and players are not satisfied. Looks like they’re willing to dump China over it. The year end finals are supposed to be in China going forward but there are talking of having them in Guadalajara of all places. That’s where it was this year and players were happy with it.

I'm not surprised women's tennis has more balls than the NBA.

Guadalajara? That's the missing persons capital of North America.

What's the difference between a summer roll and a spring roll? Average temperature?

I wonder if things start impacting the Olympics next.

I've done worse. I got caught several times bypassing China's Great Firewall so that some Chinese citizens could access a wide open internet. Received numerous letters from the government of China telling me to cut it out. Also caught shit for violating their encryption laws a couple of times.

I am on a list somewhere over there. I don't plan on ever stepping foot in China. They can keep their egg rolls and lemon chicken.

I don't disagree with the sentiment.   But let's not pretend the dollars at stake in women's tennis is in the same galaxy as what is at stake for the NBA.

I have yet to hear from a player, coach or agent opposing this stance.

Have you heard from all of them?

Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai has denied saying she was sexually assaulted, despite a November social media post attributed to her that accused a former top Communist Party official of forcing her into sex.

The Lianhe Zaobao Chinese-language newspaper posted a video of Peng it says was taken Sunday in Shanghai in which she said she has been mainly staying at home in Beijing but was free to come and go as she chose.

"First of all, I want to emphasize something that is very important. I have never said that I wrote that anyone sexually assaulted me. I need to emphasize this point very clearly," Peng told the newspaper's reporter.

Kinda fits here.  Uygher skier becomes the face of China until she loses.  Now she kinda disappeared.  Hinky.

An Uyghur athlete who became the face of China's Winter Games after lighting the Olympic flame at the Opening Ceremony has 'disappeared' from the spotlight.

Dinigeer Yilamujiang, 20, from the Altay Prefecture in Northern Xinjiang, finished 43rd in her cross-country skiathon Olympic debut on Saturday and has since vanished from the limelight.   

She quietly slipped away after the event alongside three other Chinese athletes through a 'mixed zone', which allows athletes to pass through without having to answer questions from the media. 

Ms Yilamujiang, who is the only athlete of Uyghur heritage, became the main focus of the Olympics following her controversial appearance at the Opening Ceremony - which rights groups have since criticised for 'giving a political message'.

Fucking embarrassing that any western media outlet would agree to publish under those terms.  Written answers, no comment, etc.  And fuck the IOC sideways.  I'm ready to see the U.S. stop competing.

There had been calls for the US to totally boycott the Olympics because or China's chicanery on many fronts.  I was against that, but now...  Maybe we should have.

Why were you against that?

[Junior Miller 1502]

The whole point of the Olympics is to foster friendly competition outside of political bullshit. Boycotting for political reasons goes against that and shouldn't be done. 

Besides, it's not like the US is some benevolent force of good and righteousness. The US has been decimating the populations of Afghanistan and Iraq for decades now and single handedly created the power vacuum that gave rise to ISIS. The US is completely dysfunctional with a government every bit as corrupt and evil as others on the planet. No Americans should be acting like they're above the fray.

Not to mention that the majority of our electronics industry is dependent on China. It would be kind of pointless to abandon the Olympics and shun China for political reasons when US companies like Apple, Dell, HP etc... are more than willing to rake profits by manufacturing in China. When the american consumer decides he wont walk around with an iPhone because its made in China we can......what am I saying, the american consumer likes cheap shit.

Guys, I'm sorry I brought it up.  I don't want this thread to go CR.
