Скачать или смотреть Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai says she was not sexually assaulted | DW News

Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai said on Sunday that she had never accused anyone of sexually assaulting her, and that a social media post she had made in November had been misunderstood.

"First, I need to stress one point that is extremely important, I have never said or written that anyone has sexually assaulted me, I have to clearly stress this point," Peng said in the video posted by Lianhe Zaobao, a Singapore media outlet.

The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) responded on Monday to Peng's comments, saying her appearance did not "alleviate or address the WTA's significant concerns about her well-being and ability to communicate without censorship or coercion."

In her November social media post, Peng appeared to allege that a former Chinese vice premier, Zhang Gaoli, had sexually assaulted her in the past.

Her post was quickly deleted and she was not seen in public for nearly three weeks, prompting concern among the international tennis community and rights groups.
