    Either China is so concerned about the reputation of an old retired party member who had an affair, that they kidnapped a celebrity and is forcing her to make public appearances at the threat of her and her family's safety.

    Or Peng is dealing with a terrible mix of heartbreak and regret, made a big emotional post about her affair, deleted it, and decided to lay off the social media for a bit.

    One of those probably.

      The fact that the western discourse around the subject is centered on "economic liberalization" and "human rights" sets off alarm bells too. It's especially funny considering that this happened around the same time as the Ghislaine trial is about to start. Which isn't about affairs, but is about actual child rape.
