Statement by Steve Simon, WTA Chairman & CEO on recent video posted by China state-run media of Peng Shuai
Statement by Steve Simon, WTA Chairman & CEO on the recent video posted by China state-run media of Peng Shuai:
“I am glad to see the videos released by China state-run media that appear to show Peng Shuai at a restaurant in Beijing. While it is positive to see her, it remains unclear if she is free and able to make decisions and take actions on her own, without coercion or external interference. This video alone is insufficient. As I have stated from the beginning, I remain concerned about Peng Shuai’s health and safety and that the allegation of sexual assault is being censored and swept under the rug. I have been clear about what needs to happen and our relationship with China is at a crossroads.”
Statement by Steve Simon, WTA Chairman & CEO on Peng Shuai
"The statement released today by Chinese state media concerning Peng Shuai only raises my concerns as to her safety and whereabouts.
