While the Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai has been missing for 15 days, the tennis world is demanding the truth and worried about the young woman’s fate. She had accused the elder of rape vice-Premier Minister of the Beijing regime.

Peng Shuai, a tennis star in China, seems to have vanished. Former world number 1 in doubles tennis, she has not given any sign of life for more than 15 days. THEUN, the French authorities and the tennis world are worried, especially on social networks. Player Naomi Osaka uses the hashtag #WhereisPengShuai (Where is Peng Shuai), gone viral on social networks.

For its part, the American Serena Williams says to himself “devastated and shocked”. Peng Shuai has not been seen since the letter was posted on a Chinese social network. She accused an elder vice-Premier Beijing regime minister of sexual assaults, which occurred three years ago. He was one of the most powerful political leaders in China. Since then, the athlete’s very name has been censored by Chinese authorities, and Thursday, November 18, a state channel attributed to the player a surprising statement that says she is fine. The authenticity of the message is in doubt.
