This shit is so obvious. She has literally been seen in public multiple times and has made statements on her well being. But everything she says is instantly met with claims from the western media that she was brainwashed or coerced into saying it.

Not trying to cause a struggle session or anything but didn’t she accuse A high rankling chinese gov official of raping her on social media. And now she’s taking it back. That seems very coercive to me. I don’t believe that he didn’t rape her I know he did speaking as someone who has been molested there is no way she lied about him raping her.
That seems to be the part of her letter that is being deemed "sexual assault" and by no means does that sound anything like sexual assault. It sounds like two people in a very long and complicated relationship dealing with complex emotions. Romance is a messy thing sometimes. Even she says that herself: "Romantic attraction is such a complicated thing [to] explain it clearly."

What kind of goal post is that? A powerful government official pressuring an emotionally distressed woman into having sex, especially after an initial rejection, is rape. You cannot possibly call this "consensual".
Nobody cares about what exactly happened, some form of abuse took place and after speaking out about it, Peng Shuai's post was quickly deleted, she went into hiding and later stated the accusations were untrue.
Maybe there's some bulletproof evidence that I've missed here but I'm frankly alarmed that people are this dismissive of the case. You guys remember what "critical support" means, right?
The way you to describe it makes it seem like they hadn't been in an on again, off again relationship for a decade. They started having an affair a decade ago which continued until Zhang got promoted. After his promotion, it was broken off and they fell out of contact. Then he retired and resumed the affair.

It's complicated and messy and there absolutely are some questions about the power dynamic that shouldn't be overlooked, but this is not sexual assault. And more importantly, she was not disappeared or never went into hiding and seems to be fine.

Based on relatively accurate translations it seems like they had relationship in the past and after 7 years they met on his initiative and he hit on her wanting to have sex . She was very unsure and emotionaly distressed but still having strong feeligs for him. She didnt want to initialy but he was somewhat emotionaly manipulative and so later she agreed and had sex . Then they had again a short affair that was relatively good/happy on an interpersonal level level but there was big pressure on her to keep it secret and to avoid any public notice and was taking a big toll on her and then he left her and pretended as nothing happened when some issues and tensions started rising. So of at least he behaved as a piece of shit and if he wasnt retired already he should have been fired and expelled from his positions
When?
On weibo. It’s literally all over the internet it got deleted in like 30 mins by the goverbment but there are thousands of screenshots of it
The translation mentioned an instance of sexual harassment after he tried to re-start their relationship, but she seemed to make it out to be consensual. Like they spent time together. She was just his mistress and his wife was not happy about it which led to some bad things.
I wouldn't be surprised if the politician in question was asked to step down because this came to light and they all agreed to keep it quiet initially.
It's definitely a lot more complicated than it's being presented. In fact she might be trying to maintain a low profile because she doesn't want to relive this and saw how quick the Western media turned her suffering into a propaganda tool.
Is this politician currently active in the government?
No, he stepped down in 2018 seems like he was hit with anti-corruption stuff. Dude was in the Panama papers.
It actually seems that all this happened after he retired
So I don't see why the party would cover this up seeing as how he's both corrupt and retired...
Maybe it broke laws against slander? Remember, even if SA was not alleged, everything else hasn't been proven either.
Could be, it's definitely got the feeling that something is being done about it. Honestly with his history of corruption, they might be using her case to build a more heavy handed punishment for him. Who knows.
She's definitely alive and not under any serious duress, so I wonder if the state investigators just asked her to remain silent while they investigate. That seems like standard procedure in most countries.
They might do an investigation for corruption, but adultery? Does she even want an investigation if she was just venting on social media about being cheated and didn't go to the authorities to accuse the guy of anything?
Post the translation.

iirc, there were some questions about the typically accepted translation; I recall seeing an account that, translated properly, it translated to her regretting the affair due to his marriage, and it did not contain the sexual assault (apparently, that was a point of contention for the translation).
Unfortunately, I'm not having any luck finding it (it was part of a controversial post on a tennis subreddit iirc)
