all the lib and socdem imperialists were claiming she got disappeared by the Chinese government.

I’m sure all publications and individuals spreading that story will retract their statements.

    she never claimed sexual assault. that's purely based on intentional mistranslations. assuming MSM is correct by default is a huge mistake. if she actually did make the claim, chinese citizens would be clamoring for justice. also, the cpc isn't the type to protect party members when they fuck up badly.

        There was a post on reddit r tennis with an accurate translation but I can't find it right now, just a lot of propaganda posts.
        Once you spend enough time digging into MSM claims about China, you'll start to assume that their claims are incorrect by default. Yeah, the fact that MSM lies about countries the US state department and CIA don't like doesn't really effect the life of the average American, But sometimes it does. They lie about other things. Fat being bad for you (eat lots of carbs), Omicron being mild, smoking is good for you, etc.

        I found it. Here's a proper translation https://www.reddit.com/r/tennis/comments/qmn69a/full_translation_of_peng_shuais_weibo_post/

          I like that comments are pushing back on the person that did a translation by saying "actually if you run it through google translate, you'll see..."

          I feel really bad for her though. It sounds like what she's been through has been awful

            it's literally the "white is right" trope. I actually do translation from traditional chinese to english as my job sometimes and all the translation websites are either useless or only moderately useful. Rarely can you ever take a sentence and magically have it translated to something usable.

            Comments are a joke. Look at the guy saying that there are double standards. LOL. What? Based on the accurate translation, it would literally be a non-story in the US media.

              I'd like to believe a story about manipulation like this would still gain traction anywhere, because it's not okay

            What would you do if this was a politician in North America? You’d (rightfully) demand his firing and legal repercussions.

            lol, does this guy even America? You'd be fast tracked to president.
