Ok, so what's the reason? I still don't want to waste my bandwidth
if i can recall correctly, ccp forced her to have a zoom call with IOC chairman instead of the WTA, which is the organization that is concerned for her. IOC chairman known to be pro china, so they probably gave some favors to IOC in return for this zoom call. then they filmed her enjoying steamboat at some restaurant, but the restaurant is at some govt building. then something about the text cursor on the english email PS wrote, how come CGTN got the editable copy of the english email or something like that.

watched last month, so cant recall everything

usually for such cases if the international media didnt pick up, these ppl most likely will be at least in home detention or probably locked away without trial for a year or more. by the time they released they damn scared, already signed whatever statement to say wont comment on it again (same as li wenliang statement), and then plainclothes police will tap them for years.

u can see when she say 'thanks to the wta' she really meant it. u see her smile is genuine. she knows wta saved her life probably or at least a lot of harrassment from the ccp. before that she was just frowning and stressed.

the morale of the story is amdk is really dk

actually now confirmed that the first email she sent was written by her handlers. she says that first email was written in Chinese to WTA chair then translated by cgtn. but at that point when questioned about the origin of the email with cursor, cgtn did not justify that it was translated by themselves and even explained that it was directly screenshot from mailbox. now after a month this is her trying to cover up for cgtn mistake.

very smart move
singapore have better reputation, nobody will say we are their mouthpiece but obvious to some ppl our chinese media is on who's side ;)

haha i think our political reputation has been going downhill since ah gong died. we were not even invited to US democracy submit, and our media's press freedom ranking is not far from North Korea.

it's no secret we are authoritarian ruled and have a suppressed 160th media
but we still serve as a good outlet for china because of our perceived "neutrality"

even the IOC interview was slammed by western media but i guess this zaobao interview might just be enough to put an end to peng shuai's incident

this charbo whitney duan (wen jiabao's wife business partner) was also locked up many years without trial. she doesnt even know which year it is now and there is covid now. no one knows where she went until recently she was released because of pressure from the international media due to her ex husband (desmond shum) writing a book about her.

she was already dissapeared for like 5 years totally without a trace. she was one of the richest woman in china (billionaire). got time watch this interview and buy the book its worth it. if you want to learn how business and politics is done within the elite of china.

u can see she under a lot of fear and pressure a lot of things cannot say or think very carefully lol

definitely kena warning by the police there (either as 'drink tea' or beijing directly come down warn her) to retract and behave so she can live a normal life (wont' make dissapear)
this type of interview rather don't do.
else, sure the more she talks, the darker it gets.

联合早报 kana CCP buy out?​


To be fair since decades ago they have been know to be CCP friendly media in most chinese base society worldwide. Before laulee fixed and merged them in the 50s\60s , their predecessors papers ish mostly very pro-communists one and always side with communists to scold British govt at that time. :(

actually if a newspaper received special privileges from a foreign state with access to resources that other newspapers are denied in exchange for something in return is it considered corruption?

i learn that day can ask hypothetical questions

so can ask like, assuming there is a culture of rape and sexual assault within the ccp, and ccp officials often force women into sex, what u said is true, because u had no reason to lie initially, would you say the ccp is bad?

assuming 99% of ccp officials are corrupt and take bribes, would you say democracy is a better option? given than hk and taiwan has shown much better results in governance.

these are hypothetical questions.

Not corruption just that skeptical what made LianHe to have the access to the special privileges?
Why don't she answer to Woman Tennis Association whom first questioned China about her whereabouts but choose to have a special interview with IOC and LianHe?

Just like IOC and WHO that were brought out by China. Do we want to be known as CCP's mouthpiece for propaganda?
