From what I understand China views investment in tennis et al as a bigger picture play, so they're happy to fork out enormous sums of initial investment (the WTA Finals deal is worth around $1b for eg) part of which ends up in ATP/WTA pockets even if attendance looks less than spectacular year to year.
A direct call to end the censorship and calling for an investigation into the sexual abuse allegations by a former senior CCP member is far less careful than I would have expected. They could have easily just stated their concern for Peng Shuai rather than explicitly describe the situation and China's response so far.
Did you delete a page about the ATP finals? I just wanted to follow up, looks like I was right about Stef’s elbow. Also being told he has has this issue since 2014…… technique change incoming?? Wld be interesting to know more
How are the Chinese tournaments lucrative without a full house? I seem to recall low attendances most of the time

I actually thought it was very carefully worded. Not direct questioning of where she is, no criticism of CCP directly.

Good read with good examples but if TT think WTA can influence a leading figure in the CCP gov they are deluded.
I don't think anyone thinks tennis twitter can influence the CCP?
Contrary to what some hv said, I also do not think she is safe.
