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.

    Re-reading the translation, she actually explicitly states that there was no forced sex.

    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.
