Abstract

The article focuses on Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai, posted a statement on the social media site Weibo accusing China's former Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of sexually assaulting her, referring to a years-long, on-again, off-again relationship. Topics include withdrawal of Peng from tournaments by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), WTA's concerns about her well-being and ability to communicate without censorship or coercion, and #MeToo movement, which has managed to gain momentum in spite of an intensifying government crackdown on feminist activism and social media accounts.
