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.

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?
I have no idea, she did include the instace of sexual assault in her claim that they might be taking seriously. We really don't know much about it and she has basically dropped off social media which makes me think that she's laying low to either avoid attention or at the request of investigators that are building a case.
What instance of sexual assault?
In her post she said that he invited her over after they had broken things off and goaded her into sex, basically not letting her leave until they had sex. Then their relationship started back up. That is definitely sexual assault and should be taken seriously, even if they got back together after.

I was unaware, that was the translation I read. She said that he was forceful with her in one instance, but they had a relationship outside of that.
All I'm saying is that her claims could very well be part of a more in depth investigation into that guy and his corruption.

At best you can say it was emotional manipulation and attempting to guilt trip her. Don't see how SA factors into this.
Because he forced her to have sex with him? This is like Monica Lewinsky level stuff. And the politician is defunct because of his corruption. Xi would absolutely not protect him, even if he was a high level officer.
From CNN of all places. Just straight up admitting the contradictions.
He did? How?
From what I've read about Lewinsky's wikipedia, it seems she was a target of online harassment and cyber bullying. Maybe Peng was the one being protected. Admitting to being with a married man willingly as she alleged isn't going to garner much sympathy.
That's what I've been saying...
Oh then I misunderstood that part. What I want you to explain is how he forced her into having sex.
Re-reading the translation, she actually explicitly states that there was no forced sex. Just that one time she protested and he begged and she relented and they had sex.
The whole post reads like something written by someone who was heartbroken, not something written by someone who was assaulted. She's mad that he abandoned her and she feels used.
I can absolutely see her taking this post down herself and going to ground because of the immediate reaction to it. I'm sure a lot of people started calling her a whore and bullying her.
The only reason this is getting any traction at all right now is because the man she accused was in charge of planning the Winter Olympics until he retired in 2018.
So she "retracted" her claim of SA (as we know, her subsequent statement was consistent because she never alleged SA to begin with) and this is very suspicious therefore this proves how repressive the CPC is. This is western media's angle. Everybody here knows western media don't really give a shit about Peng or Zhang, their real target is what it's always been. The main reason this is getting any traction at all is because western media wants to undermine PRC. The guy could be completely unaffiliated with the Winter Olympics and a mountain still would've been made out of a molehill. If one were a neutral observer, they'd find it odd that the US cares more about Chinese lives than their own.
It's doubly hilarious that this whole discourse is taking place right as Ghislaine Maxwell's trial is starting. Like somehow an affair in China is getting more media coverage than an institutional sex slaver in America.
