Disappeared from social media after sexual assault charge against former Chinese vice premier, tennis player Peng Shuai made his first public appearance in several weeks.

After weeks of worry on the part of the tennis world and others, Peng Shuai finally appeared for the first time in weeks on Sunday, November 21, in Beijing (China), during a match. The player appears smiling, signing tennis balls to young children present on site. This is his first return to the surface after his accusations against a former dignitary in the country.

Desire, Peng Shuai is it therefore free? A few hours ago, a video was posted on Hu’s Twitter account Xijin, editor-in-chief of Global Times, a state-owned media in China. We see the player in a restaurant, accompanied by her trainer, who does not fail to mention the dates and to mark the temporality. The video therefore sows new doubts about the situation of Peng Shuai. For the international community, these images are not sufficient proof of freedom.
