The Winter Olympics officially begin Friday, February 4, in Beijing. Lu Shaye, Chinese Ambassador to France, spoke about the situation of tennis player Peng Shuai, whose situation has been worrying since November.
Peng Shuai has been missing since November. The Chinese tennis player has accused a former leader of her country of forcing her to have sex and has since only given signs of life through video conferences. On the eve of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shaye was interviewed on the subject on the Télématin program.
The representative of the Chinese power remained evasive in the face of questions from Thomas Sotto. “The Chinese government has already made its clarifications on it. I didn’t follow that case.” insists Lu Shaye about the women’s doubles champion, crowned at Roland-Garros in 2014. Few certainties about the situation of Peng Shuai whom Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), must meet on the sidelines of these Olympics.
