Peng Shuai  Nov 2 22:07 from Huawei .   "I know it's impossible to explain clearly, and even if I were to talk about it it's useless. But still I want to talk about it. I feel so unbearably phony, I admit that I am not a good girl, a terrible terrible girl. Approximately three years ago vice premier Zhang Gaoli you retired, looked for Dr. Liu of the Tianjin Tennis Center and got in touch with me again, asked me for a time to play, at the Kang Ming Hotel in Beijing. After our AM session, your wife Kang Jie and you brought me to your home. Then brought me to a room at your residence, like that time over 10 years ago or prior* in Tianjin, wanted to have sexual relationship* with me. On the afternoon that day I was very scared, had not at all anticipated that things would end up like that, one person helping stand guard outside, because no one would have believed that the wife would be willing. Seven years ago or prior* we had sexual relationship* once, afterwards you were promoted to the Politburo Standing Committee, left for Beijing, and didn't contact me again. Originally I buried everything inside my heart, if you fundamentally don't plan on being responsible, why did you still bother to come around and look for me, bring me to your home and compel* me to have relationship* with you? Yes it's I who do not have evidence, while it's fundamentally impossible to leave any evidence.  Afterwards you kept denying it, but truly it was you who favored me first, otherwise I would not have been able to come into contact with you. On the afternoon that day I originally did not agree and kept crying, had supper with you and aunt Kang Jie together, you said the universe is very very big, the Earth is a grain of sand within the universe, we humans are not even a grain of sand, and spoke about much much more, so that I could let go of thoughts and burdens.  Nonetheless after supper I was also unwilling, you said you hated me! And said in those seven years you had never forgotten about me, will treat me well etc.  . . .  scared and nervous and carrying my feelings for you from seven years ago or prior* I agreed . . .  so yes we had sexual relationship*. Feelings are a very complicated thing, impossible to explain clearly, from that day on I re-opened my love for you, then during the days that I spent with you, just from interacting with you you are a very very nice person, treated me quite well too, we chatted about modern history all the way back to ancient eras, you told me knowledge of many things and economics and philosophy, endless topics. Together we played board games*, sang, played ping-pong, billiards, and tennis we could always play until we couldn't be merrier, our personalities were so compatible as if everything matched.  Since I was little having left home very young, I've been extremely deprived of affection, so facing all that's happened, I've never considered myself to be a good girl, I hate myself, hate why I had to come to this world, to experience this calamity. You told me that you love me, very very much, and hoped that in the next life we could meet when you're 20 and I 18. You said you are very lonely, very pitiable by yourself, we could chat forever, talk on and on without end, you said that with your position there's no way to get a divorse, and had we met when you were still in Shandong, you might still be able to get a divorce, but now there's no way.  I've thought about accompanying you just like this unknown by the outside world, in the beginning things were okay, but as time passed they changed, too many instances of injustice and insult. Every time you let me visit, behind your back your wife said so many nasty and insulting things to me, all kinds of caustic mockery and ridicules. I said I like eating duck tongues, aunt Kang Jie would say right in front of me ~eww so disgusting. When there was smog in Beijing in the winter I said the air quality was not very good sometimes, aunt Kang Jie would tell me, that's in your rural areas, we do not feel it over here. And so forth many many similar things were said, when you were present she would not speak in such fashion, almost like us, there was one set of behaviors when the two of us were spending time together, but when other people were present you would treat me differently**. [Remainder of the statement is below, at the end.] #PRC: Deriding Gu and Disappearing Peng at the Olympics. @GordonGChang, Gatestone, Newsweek, The Hill https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-14/china-mustn-t-embrace-eileen-gu-as-patriot-veteran-editor-warns ..  ..  ..   ** Peng Shuai's statement that has caused her to be disappeared by the Chinese Communist Party, second part. . . . I've told you before, hearing those words so often made me feel especially wronged and hurt, from the day I met you until now I've never used any of your money, let alone using you to obtain any benefit or perk, but this thing called title and status is so important. I had it coming for all of this, bringing disgrace upon myself. From start to finish you've always told me to keep our relationship a secret, especially never to tell my mom about our relationship as a man and a woman, because it was she who saw me off near the Church of the Saviour, Beijing everytime, afterwards I had to change into your household's vehicle before it was okay to enter your courtyard. She always thought I was going to play Mahjong and cards, to hang out at your place. In our respective life each of us is a real-life invisible person, your wife is like the queen from Empresses in the Palace, while words cannot describe how unbearable I feel, many times I thought am I still a person? I feel I am a walking corpse, pretending, pretending everyday, which me is the real me? I shouldn't have come to this world, but neither do I have the courage to die. I very much wish to live more simply, but things didn't go my way. There was a very big dispute on the night of the 30th, you said to go to your house again on the afternoon of the 2nd for us to talk things out, today at noon you called and said something came up and for us to re-connect later, shirking everything, using the excuse of re-connecting later ......, just like this "disappearing" like seven years ago or prior*, after playing around you change your mind the moment you no longer want me. You said what's between us isn't transactional, true, the feeling between us is unrelated to money, power, but I have no way to put my feelings from these three years to rest, have difficulties facing them. You're always afraid I might carry some recording device, leave evidence and so forth. True, beside myself I haven't left any evidence or proof, no audio recordings, no videos, only the true experience of how I've been twisted. I know that to you the powerful and high-ranking vice premier Zhang Gaoli, you've said that you're not afraid. But even if it's hitting rock with eggs, as a moth flying towards flames sacrificing myself I would still reveal what has transpired with you. With your intelligence and strategems you would certainly deny this or you could even serve everything back at me, you can take things not seriously at all to such an extent. You are always saying that you hope your mom is watching over you from the heavens, I'm a bad girl and do not deserve to be a mother, while you are a father with son and daughter, I've asked you even if it were your adopted daughter would you have compelled* her to do so? With all of this that you've done in this life would you be able to face your mom with a clear conscience afterwards? All or both of us* appear very proper and sanctimonious ...... Translator's notes: (年前) years ago or prior: This could mean either a number of years ago/before the present, or a number of years prior to some other reference point established in the context. One interpretation or the other may or may not match the chronology of Zhang Gaoli's career. In certain places in her post, neither interpretation seems to match known facts, so Peng might have made some typos or small errors. On the other hand, it's clearer that whenever she refers to "three years", it means counting back from the present. (性关系/关系) sexual relationship/relationship: While this could refer to Peng's relationship overall, it can also be a euphemism for sexual encounter or intercourse. Her text does not provide additional details. Depending on the context, sexual relationship can also be shortened to relationship, but the latter does not usually refer to a relationship specifically of a sexual nature. (逼) compel: While it's possible for this to mean some involvement of threats or physical force, it could also mean to pressure by persuasion or to push very hard for one's demands, especially in non-formal conversations. Peng's text does not provide additional information. (下棋) played board games: Specifically board games with deployable pieces such as Go, chess, elephant chess, checkers. (我们都) all or both of us: Because this is the last sentence and appears to be incomplete, it's uncertain how many people are being referred to, although in my opinion it probably refers to all of us i.e. more than 2 persons here. For ~90% of the content of her post, I've retained her exact wording, order, repetition, and punctuation (except for asterisks in the translation to indicate my notes). The result should be free of any additions, omissions, interpretations, or changes in meaning. ..  ..  .. 

ESPORTE COMO FERRAMENTA POLÍTICA? Ainda sob a influência da pandemia de COVID, os Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno acontecem em Beijing (China) de 4 a 20 de fevereiro. Cerca de 3.000 atletas competindo em 109 eventos diferentes. Os Jogos Paralímpicos de Inverno acontecem de 4 a 13 de março, com 736 competidores em 78 eventos. O governo e as empresas da China estão gastando US$ 3,9 bilhões nos Jogos. Em 2 de novembro de 2021 a estrela chinesa do tênis Peng Shuai acusou publicamente em suas redes sociais o antigo vice-primeiro-ministro chinês Zhang Gaoli de agressão sexual. A partir daí, a atleta desapareceu e houve a resposta imediata das autoridades chinesas na tentativa de abafar e censurar a alegação de Peng Shuai. Quando Shuai reapareceu, as declarações já não eram tão contundentes. O mundo ficou dividido na reação. Alguns atacaram os "abusos e atrocidades dos direitos humanos da China”. Outros, como EUA, Reino Unido, Canadá, Austrália, Lituânia e Kosovo declararam boicote diplomático aos Jogos. Esses países enviarão atletas para competir, mas sem a presença de nenhum ministro ou alto funcionário. A China acusou os EUA de usar os Jogos para manipulação política e prometeu "contramedidas resolutas". O impacto do movimento diminuiu muito quando a Itália e a França se recusaram a participar do boicote. Macron, presidente da França, descreveu o boicote como "simbólico e insignificante". Certamente fará pouquíssima diferença no espetáculo do evento para quem está no local ou assistindo de longe. Piorou quando o Comitê Olímpico Internacional (COI) disse que respeita a decisão dos Estados Unidos de boicotar diplomaticamente os próximos Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno de Pequim, ao mesmo tempo em que defende sua “diplomacia silenciosa” ao lidar com o caso da tenista chinesa Peng Shuai. Ou seja, boicote hipócrita. Uns fingem que batem, o outro finge que apanha. E a vida segue da mesma forma. Poucos têm coragem de confrontar a China. Medo da retaliação comercial. ......... Através da visibilidade do esporte, os atletas podem se aproveitar da liberdade concedida pelo COI que decidiu permitir que os atletas expressem suas opiniões políticas nas zonas mistas ou em redes sociais, além dos locais de competição onde poderão se manifestar antes do início das competições desde que não sejam atos contrários aos "princípios fundamentais do olimpismo", que visam contribuir na construção de um mundo melhor, sem qualquer tipo de discriminação, e assegurar a prática esportiva como um direito de todos. Apesar da flexibilização na Carta Olímpica, o presidente da entidade, Thomas Bach, reforçou que os atos estão expressamente proibidos nos momentos de pódio. "O pódio e as cerimônias de medalha não são feitos para uma manifestação política ou qualquer outra. Ele é feito para homenagear os atletas e os vencedores de medalhas por conquistas esportivas e não por suas visões particulares". (Financial Times) .........

Aus aktuellem Anlass: Julia und Anja sprechen in dieser Folge über die MeToo-Bewegung in China. Dieses Thema ist durch einen besonders prominenten Fall wieder in das Bewusstsein der Öffentlichkeit gerückt. Die Rede ist von der ehemaligen Tennisspielerin Peng Shuai. Sie hat am 2. November 2021 auf ihrem Weibo-Account ein Posting veröffentlicht, in dem sie dem hochrangigen Mitglied der Kommunistischen Partei, Zhang Gaoli vorgeworfen hat, sie im Jahr 2018 sexuell missbraucht zu haben.

Trainiere dein Hörverstehen mit den Nachrichten der Deutschen Welle von Montag – als Text und als verständlich gesprochene Audio-Datei.Linkskandidat Boric gewinnt Präsidentenwahl in Chile Der frühere Studentenführer Gabriel Boric ist mit 35 Jahren zum neuen Präsidenten Chiles gewählt worden. Der Kandidat kam in der Stichwahl am Sonntag auf knapp 56 Prozent der Stimmen. Er war angetreten für das linksgerichtete Wahlbündnis "Apruebo Dignidad" (Ich stimme der Würde zu). Sein rechtsgerichteter Rivale José Antonio Kast, dessen Familie deutsche Wurzeln hat, erhielt rund 44 Prozent. Die Wahl galt aufgrund der großen politischen Kluft zwischen beiden Kandidaten als Weichenstellung, viele sahen in ihr sogar die wichtigste Wahl seit Chiles Rückkehr zur Demokratie 1990. Bund-Länder-Beratungen am Dienstag wegen Omikron-Ausbreitung Angesichts der raschen Ausbreitung der Omikron-Variante beraten in Deutschland Bund und Länder am Dienstag über die Coronavirus-Lage und das weitere Vorgehen. Das beschlossen Bundeskanzler Scholz und Nordrhein-Westfalens Regierungschef Hendrik Wüst als Vorsitzender der Konferenz der Länder-Ministerpräsidenten. Hauptthemen sind die Stellungnahme des Expertenrats der Bundesregierung zu COVID-19 und mögliche Kontaktbeschränkungen zum Schutz des Gesundheitssystems vor einer Überlastung. Der neue Expertenrat hatte wegen der Omikron-Expansion Handlungsbedarf bereits für die kommenden Tage angemahnt. Großbritannien ist wieder in höchster Corona-Risikokategorie Deutschland stuft Großbritannien ab sofort wieder als Virusvariantengebiet ein. Grund ist die massive Ausbreitung der Corona-Variante Omikron im Vereinigten Königreich. Fluglinien dürfen nun im Wesentlichen nur noch deutsche Bürger oder in Deutschland lebende Personen von Großbritannien nach Deutschland befördern. Es handelt sich aber nicht um ein Flugverbot. Die Regel gilt auch für den Bahn- oder Schiffsverkehr. Für Einreisende aus Virusvariantengebieten gilt eine zweiwöchige Quarantänepflicht - auch für Geimpfte und Genesene. Sie kann nicht durch negative Tests verkürzt werden. 30.000 gedenken in Wien der Corona-Toten Mit einem Lichtermeer haben in Wien etwa 30.000 Menschen der Coronavirus-Todesopfer in Österreich gedacht. Bei der Kundgebung trugen die Teilnehmer Kerzen oder Lampen oder sie hatten die Lichter ihrer Mobiltelefone eingeschaltet. Die Aktion unter dem Motto "YesWeCare - das Lichtermeer" wurde von Gewerkschaften, der Ärztekammer und Religionsgemeinschaften unterstützt. Bundespräsident Alexander Van der Bellen erklärte sich solidarisch. In Österreich sind mehr als 13.000 Menschen an oder mit COVID-19 gestorben. Zur Eindämmung der Omikron-Variante gelten ab sofort schärfere Einreiseregeln. Philippinen korrigieren Taifun-Opferzahl nach oben Die Zahl der Todesopfer durch Taifun "Rai" auf den Philippinen ist auf mehr als 200 gestiegen. Wie die Behörden mitteilten, starben bei dem Durchzug des bislang heftigsten Wirbelsturms in diesem Jahr mindestens 208 Menschen. 52 werden noch vermisst. Mehr als 480.000 Menschen wurden in Evakuierungszentren untergebracht. Viele von ihnen sind bis auf Weiteres obdachlos. "Rai" war der bisher stärkste Taifun in diesem Jahr auf den Philippinen. Der Sturm zerstörte viele Häuser, Felder und Ernten. Wissenschaftler warnen seit Langem, dass Taifune durch den Klimawandel an Stärke zunehmen. Tennisspielerin Peng nimmt Vergewaltigungsvorwurf zurück In einem ersten öffentlichen Statement seit ihrem Verschwinden hat die chinesische Tennisspielerin Peng Shuai die Vergewaltigungsvorwürfe gegen den ranghohen kommunistischen Parteifunktionär Zhang Gaoli bestritten. Sie habe nie geschrieben, dass jemand sie sexuell angegriffen habe, sagte die 35-Jährige der chinesischsprachigen Zeitung "Lianhe Zaobao" in Singapur. Peng war über zwei Wochen nicht öffentlich gesehen worden, nachdem sie im November Zhang beschuldigt hatte. Der Damentennis-Verband WTA zeigte sich weiter besorgt über Pengs Wohlergehen und forderte eine lückenlose Untersuchung. Ehrungen für Zverev, Mihambo und Bahnrad-Vierer Tennisstar Alexander Zverev und Weitsprung-Königin Malaika Mihambo sind Deutschlands "Sportler des Jahres". Mihambo erhielt die Auszeichnung bereits zum dritten Mal. Zverev wurde als erster Tennisspieler bei den Herren seit Wimbledonsieger Michael Stich vor 30 Jahren gekürt. Als beste Mannschaft wurde der Bahnrad-Vierer der Frauen bei einer Gala in Baden-Baden ausgezeichnet. Alle Gewinner der 75. Wahl, an der sich 980 Sportjournalisten und Sportjournalistinnen beteiligt hatten, hatten im Sommer bei den Olympischen Spielen in Tokio die Goldmedaille gewonnen.

When the tennis star Peng Shuai had a row with her former lover, the retired Party cadre Zhang Gaoli, she took to Weibo, the Chinese social media platform, where she had half a million followers. It was in that statement that she accused Zhang of starting their affair with sexual assault. The statement was taken down within minutes, demonstrating the power, speed – and, arguably, the manual nature – of China's online censors. On this podcast, we've previously talked about the nature of journalism in China – but what about social media, that inherently decentralised medium? What role does the digital space play in Chinese lives, how reliable is it as a source of Chinese public opinion, and how do people feel about being monitored and, potentially, censored? On the podcast, I speak to Manya Koetse, the founder of whatsonweibo.com, which collates and translates the latest trends and topics from the platform into English; as well as Shen Lu, a reporter for Protocol who covers China and tech. With Manya, we muse about what censorship does to a nation's online discussion: the focus turns to policy issues like health and safety standards, or more superficial discussions like pets and travel. Yet during the early days of the pandemic last year, we both witnessed an incredible night where, on Weibo, WeChat, and other platforms, Dr Li Wenliang's death prompted a universal outpouring of grief. Manya tells me that:  ‘Dr Li was a story that was too big to censor... censoring all of those discussions would have actually caused more unrest'. Since the pandemic, the digital sphere has also become more nationalistic:  'The Hong Kong protests definitely was the moment when I saw this new wave of nationalism online, which you've always had, but especially the last two years it's been so clear. Covid-19 has only strengthened the wave that started back then'I also speak to Shen Lu, who tells me about her experience being censored on Weibo when reporting on China's MeToo movement. Censorship has only become worse in recent years – she tells me: ' I can no longer tell which friend is which, because we started to self-censor'. More optimistically though, Lu tells me that all the same political conversations among liberal minded young Chinese are still happening – simply offline, these days.

Several high-profile cases of sexual harassment and assault have helped the #MeToo movement in China continue to make impacts on a society that is highly controlled and surveilled. Most recently, tennis star Peng Shuai's saga has accused former top Chinese Communist Party leader, Zhang Gaoli of sexual assault. Although Peng did not say that she is part of the #MeToo movement, her speaking out has given fresh impetus to the campaign.

Several high-profile cases of sexual harassment and assault have helped the #MeToo movement in China continue to make impacts on a society that is highly controlled and surveilled. Most recently, tennis star Peng Shuai's saga has accused former top Chinese Communist Party leader, Zhang Gaoli of sexual assault. Although Peng did not say that she is part of the #MeToo movement, her speaking out has given fresh impetus to the campaign.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit dem letzten großen Wettbewerb der Saison und Neuigkeiten in der Causa Peng Shuai. Das Neueste zu Peng Shuai Andreas und Philipp beginnen eben dort, nachdem die WTA unter der Woche bekannt gegeben hat, keines ihrer ursprünglich zehn anvisierten Turniere in China und Hongkong im Jahr 2022 stattfinden zu lassen. WTA-Boss Steve Simon hatte zwar schon Drohungen dahingehend gemacht, dass sich die WTA vorläufig aus China zurückziehen könnte, trotzdem wurde die Ankündigung mit Erstaunen registriert. Damit ist auch der Druck auf andere Sportorganisationen gewachsen, vor allem da ja schon in zwei Monaten Olympische Winterspiele in China stattfinden sollen. Russland gewinnt den Davis Cup Der letzte große Tennis-Event des Jahres fand in den letzten 11 Tagen in Innsbruck, Turin und Madrid statt. Am Ende konnte sich in diesem (mal wieder) leicht veränderten Davis Cup der Favorit aus Russland durchsetzen also die Mannschaft mit der größten Dichte an Top-Einzelspielern. Der Gegner im Finale war eine leichte Überraschung: Kroatien. Zwar konnte Marin Cilic nicht die erhofften Siege im Einzel einfahren, doch Dank des Überraschungsspielers Borna Gojo und des überragenden Doppels Nikola Mektic und Mate Pavic erreichten die Kroaten das Endspiel. Auch Deutschland konnte sich auf sein Spitzen-Doppel Kevin Krawietz und Tim Pütz verlassen, die drei Mal den entscheidenden Punkt holten und das Team damit ins Halbfinale bugsierten. Der andere Halbfinalist war das Team aus Serbien um einen gut aufspielenden Novak Djokovic, der im Einzel alle Partien gewann aber in den Doppeln nicht genug Klasse an seiner Seite hatte für den ganz großen Coup. Die Gastgeber aus Spanien, Österreich und Italien schieden vor den Halbfinals aus. Zum Abschluss der Sendung gehen Andreas und Philipp noch durch die restlichen News der Woche: Der Davis Cup wird aber der kommenden Woche wohl (teilweise) in Abu Dhabi stattfinden, Johanna Konta ist zurückgetreten, die ATP hat ihren Kalender für die ersten sechs Monate des nächsten Jahres veröffentlicht und Iga Swiatek hat einen neuen Coach.

“La prof, i ragazzi e il piercing”, un articolo di Elena Stancanelli su La Stampa. L'arbitrarietà è il modo in cui il potere si manifesta. Dire che non si deve fumare in classe o arrivare in ritardo a lezione serve invece a far funzionare il meccanismo. Sono due modalità del tutto diverse. Le regole che corrispondono a una logica sono necessarie, l'arbitrarietà и inutile e pericolosa. L'arbitrarietà produce immediato dissenso ma quando, attraverso la prevaricazione, si impone, produce un enorme e insalubre consenso che и anche peggior[…] Su Il Corriere della Sera leggiamo l'articolo di Guido Santevecchi - “Caso Peng: il tennis femminile spinge al tie break censura cinese (e Cio)” L'anno prossimo non ci saranno tornei in territorio cinese, in segno di solidarietà con Peng Shuai, la campionessa che il 2 novembre ha denunciato per violenza sessuale l'ex vicepremier e membro del Politburo comunista Zhang Gaoli e da allora è stata censurata.

A former Wimbledon champion goes missing in China after disclosing accusations of sexual coercion by former high-ranking party official Zhang Gaoli. The case displays the country's leadership's disdain of #MeToo. What will happen to Peng Shuai after the Beijing Olympics?

Début novembre, après avoir accusé l'ex-vice premier ministre chinois Zhang Gaoli de viol, la championne de tennis Peng Shuai a disparu des radars durant trois semaines. Quelles sont les méthodes utilisées par le régime chinois pour faire taire les critiques? Le point avec Marc Julienne, expert à l'Institut français des relations internationales. Caroline Stevan Réalisation : Jean Berset Nous écrire : pointj@rts.ch

Tennis star Peng Shuai hasn't been in the public eye much since she accused former top communist party official Zhang Gaoli of sexually assaulting her. The only glimpses the public has had into her life have been tightly choreographed videos and photos put out by state-run media and the International Olympic Committee, which has been working closely with China to host the 2022 winter Olympics in Beijing. In this Just Us episode of China Unscripted, we discuss Peng Shuai, China's bullying in the South China Sea, the CCP's attempt to erase the memory of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, the US standing up for Taiwan, and China's horrific family planning policies.

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   Tim Chng is one of the founders of ITASA (Intercollegiate Taiwanese American Students Association), and we've known each other since those college days. He is currently documenting the overseas Taiwan Independence Movement on Wikipedia.   I thought I'd invite him onto Talking Taiwan to talk about some of the media attention that Taiwan's been getting lately, and the project he's started to document the contributions of WUFI (World United Formosans for Independence) and overseas Taiwanese to the fight for Taiwan's freedom and democracy.   After a non-Taiwanese friend of mine texted me asking about who Enes Kanter was and why he was speaking up about Taiwan, I realized that it would be a good idea to do an episode about this and other celebrities who have shed light on Taiwan- for good and bad.   Enes Kanter, a basketball player for the NBA's Boston Celtics, has called for boycotting the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and caused quite a stir by tweeting and speaking out about Taiwan being a free and democratic country, and not a part of China. Twitter was all abuzz over this.   I had seen Tim weighing in on the Twitter discussion about Enes, so I thought it would be fun to invite him on to Talking Taiwan to share his thoughts on all of this.   I knew that we'd have an interesting conversation. We talked about Enes, John Oliver, John Cena and even Peng Shui, the Chinese women's tennis player whose safety and whereabouts have been in question ever since her post on a Chinese social media platform (Weibo) about being sexually assaulted by a retired Chinese Communist party leader was deleted.   Tim also talked about what motivated him to start documenting the Taiwan independence movement on Wikipedia, and how in a broader sense it is about recognizing the role of Taiwan's diaspora in the fight for Taiwan's freedom and democracy during the White Terror era.   If you're interested in helping Tim with this project you can do so simply by creating a login on Wikipedia, which as Tim said is really quite easy to do, and you can start editing and adding to the Wikipedia pages about WUFI or the Taiwan independence movement.     Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   The background of Enes Kanter NBA's Celtics team, has spoken up for Taiwan How Enes Kanter and his family has been blacklisted by the Turkish government How Enes' father went to prison for speaking up against Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Taiwan's blacklist Comparing the struggles and conflict that the Uyghers, and people of Hong Kong, Tibet and Taiwan's have with China Badiucao, the artist who created the art and designs for Enes Kanter's sneakers that called for a boycott of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and the Stand With Taiwan sneakers The perception that Taiwan's democracy was a direct result of Chiang Ching-kuo lifting martial law in Taiwan How the father (Dr. Kang-lu Wang) of one of ITASA's founders (Alvin Wang) was assassinated by the Kuomintang (KMT) What led Tim to start his project to document the Taiwan independence movement, especially the resistance movement amongst overseas Taiwanese How the resistance movement of overseas Taiwanese in the 1950s-1980s is not taught in history books and hasn't been well documented Documenting WUFI (World United Formosans for Independence) on Wikipedia How difficult it was to get media coverage on Taiwan in the 1950s-1980s How New Bloom was contacted and consulted by John Oliver's team for his segment about Taiwan How Taiwan needs allies and support as it stands up to China What is problematic about what Enes Kanter is saying about China Tsai Ing-wen's public statement thanking Enes Kanter for his support Whether or not the U.S. really cares about Taiwan's self-determination or freedom The KMT's network of overseas student spies during the martial law era How organizers of the first ITASA conference at Yale University received an anonymous intimidating letter How no one from Yale University was able to attend the Love Boat program in the year following the Yale ITASA conference How Tim and his family were blacklisted and not allowed to return to Taiwan What inspired many WUFI members and overseas Taiwan independence activists to stand up for Taiwan and to attempt to free Taiwan from authoritarian rule How Peter Huang who attempted to assassinate Chiang Ching-kuo was a WUFI member How many overseas Taiwanese students were inspired by the Cuban revolution How within WUFI there were members who were KMT spies The founding of WUFI in 1971 and how it united organizations in Japan, Europe, the United States, and Canada How WUFI members were responsible much of the U.S. media coverage on Taiwan The Taiwanese American Association of America (TAA), the grassroots arm of WUFI Fundraising efforts for the Taiwanese political drama Island Nation 2 What motivated Chiang Ching-kuo to lift martial law in Taiwan Tim's criticism of John Oliver's segment on Taiwan John Oliver's criticism of John Cena, the pro wrestler and actor who apologized to China after calling Taiwan a country What happened to Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai and what may have motivated her to speak about how she was sexually assaulted by Zhang Gaoli, a former high-ranking government official and member of the Chinese Communist Party The support that Peng Shuai has gotten from other professional tennis players The Women's Tennis Association's (WTA) reaction to Peng Shuai's statement about being sexually assaulted and her subsequent disappearance The pressure by the WTA and countries like Finland to cancel on the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Myanmar and the Free Burma movement China's Belt and Road Initiative Lithuania's support of Taiwan Tim's call for others to help contribute his Wikipedia project documenting the contributions of overseas Taiwanese (from all over the globe) to Taiwan's democratization and independence movement WUFI's 2021 paper calendar commemorating WUFI's 50thanniversary How Professor Chen Wen-chen was part of the WUFI network The Taiwan History Facebook group The importance of documenting the stories of Taiwan's diaspora who fought for Taiwan's freedom and democracy     Related Links: To view all

Willkommen zu einer neuen Spezialausgabe von Chip & Charge, heute mit einem Interview rund um das Thema des Verschwindens von Peng Shuai, der ehemaligen Weltranglisten-Ersten im Doppel. Peng Shuai hatte am 2. November 2021 ein Posting auf der chinesischen Social-Media-Plattform Weibo veröffentlicht, in dem sie Zhang Gaoli, ein ehemaliger hoher Funktionär der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas, des sexuellen Missbrauchs beschuldigt hatte. Dieses Posting wurde gelöscht und Peng seitdem nicht mehr gesehen. Erst vor kurzer Zeit tauchten Videos von Peng auf, die sie bei einem Restaurantbesuch und bei einem Jugend-Tennisturnier in Beijing zeigten. Frei sprechen durfte sie allerdings nicht. Ein Gespräch mit dem IOC-Präsidenten Thomas Bach hinterließ auch mehr Fragen als Antworten. Andreas hat mit Prof. Dr. Sandra Heep von der Hochschule Bremen über den Fall Peng Shuai gesprochen. Frau Prof. Dr. Heep lehrt Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft Chinas an der Hochschule und spricht mit Andreas darüber, wie dieser Fall politisch einzuordnen ist. Augenscheinlich hat der weltweite Aufruhr, der im Anschluss an das Verschwinden von Peng aufkam, China überrascht, die bei Kritik im Inneren Kritik leichter verstummen lassen können. Ca. 10 Wochen vor den Olympischen Spielen ist dies kein Thema, das China gerne hätte.

There is a "literal truth" and a "relative truth " with ALL THINGS CHINA. Literally, NO ONE precisely knows what happened except Peng Shuai and her accused, Zhang Gaoli. That said, you probably want to know what happened in "absolute terms" relative to Western values and the #METOO movement.However, it is also valuable to examine situations like these in the proper cultural context, as a means to attain a more desirable outcome.Read the blog https://www.genejhsu.com/blog/pengshuai

Peng Shuai, the missing tennis star, is making massive waves, because China is claiming that she is safe, and fine, and that she didn't write the Weibo post that claimed that Zhang Gaoli, former vice-premier of China, abused her. It's all unraveling, and the world is now paying attention.Our videos -Laowhy86 https://youtu.be/kOIrsmjRFxUSerpentZA https://youtu.be/djXYBU1T-EkShillbuster video -https://youtu.be/5IIy5L6P7kYThe state governors that are friendly to the CCP - https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2021/11/15/all-over-the-map/The artist of the paintings - Please follow him on Instagram Hans Lundgren https://www.instagram.com/hanslgl R*** Ape and the Beach Monkeys (Oil Painting)https://opensea.io/assets/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/87412129735930572248537187615162728465212161684844466928588130103886191001601R*** Ape and the Beach Monkeys (Cartoon Sketch)https://opensea.io/assets/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/87412129735930572248537187615162728465212161684844466928588130104985702629377China's Weinstein video from Winston - https://youtu.be/X7OoTaU4Om4Lele Farley - https://youtu.be/VowdfCMdUqMSupport the show here - https://www.patreon.com/advpodcastsSupport us and the channel on Paypal!http://paypal.me/advchinaOur personal Patreon accountsSerpentZA: http://www.patreon.com/serpentzaC-Milk: http://www.patreon.com/laowhy86ADVChina Subreddit -https://reddit.com/r/ADVChinaFor Motorcycle adventures around the world, and a talk-show on two wheels go to ADVChina every Monday 1pm ESThttps://www.youtube.com/advchinaFor a no-nonsense on the street look at Chinese culture and beyond from China's original YouTuber, join SerpentZA on Friday at 1pm ESThttps://www.youtube.com/serpentzaFor a realistic perspective on China and world travel go to Laowhy86 Wednesday 1pm ESThttps://www.youtube.com/laowhy86Living in China for so long, we would like to share some of the comparisons that we have found between China and the west, and shed some light on the situation.Every week, we take you to a new place in China on our bikes, cover a topic, and reply to your questions.⚫ Watch Conquering Southern China NOW!Winston and I ride 5000 km across 5 Chinese provinces and discover crazy food, people and customs!Discount Promo Code: RIDEWITHUShttps://vimeo.com/ondemand/conqueringsouthernchina⚫Watch Conquering Northern China10,000 km. on motorcycles across China's unexplored northern provinces.

On this week's episode, Nicole talks to some #disruptHERS colleagues — Drs. Katie Lebel, Nancy Lough, and Ann Pegoraro — about recent disruptions in women's sport, which continue to make headlines. They begin with the recent situation surrounding Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai, 35, a three-time Olympian, who has been missing since November 2, when she used social media to accuse Zhang Gaoli, 75, a former vice premier of China, of sexually assaulting her at his home three years ago. The IOC President Thomas Bach held a video call with Peng, which was unconvincing to experts. The many reported incidents of abuse and harassment by coaches in the National Women's Soccer League is also discussed. They conclude with why women's sports needs men as allies to oust offenders and why leadership in sport needs women to move the needle.Host: Dr. Nicole LaVoiRecorded: November 22, 2021For more information, links and resources and hundreds more conversations from the world of women's sport including articles, blogs, videos and podcasts visit wispsports.com.

On Friday we spoke with Professor Elliot Tepper about the convoluted case of missing tennis star Peng Shuai, who disappeared after she made accusations of sexual assault against, Zhang Gaoli, a former member of the Chinese Communist Party's ruling Standing Committee. Now, we have word from the International Olympic Committee that they have been in contact with Peng. This does not alleviate concerns and it does not answer all of the questions.  Guest: Elliot Tepper, Emeritus Professor of Political Science with Carleton University See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Qu'est-ce que #OuEstPengShuai ? Merci d'avoir posé la question ! Peng Shuai, c'est le nom d'une joueuse de tennis chinoise qui avait tout simplement disparu. Pour rappel, Peng Shuai a remporté Roland Garros en 2014. Tout a commencé le 2 novembre 2021. Date à laquelle, un message est publié sur son compte Weibo officiel - l'équivalent de Twitter. On y apprend l'existence d'une relation extra-conjugale entre la sportive et l'ancien vice-Premier ministre Zhang Gaoli. Un texte l'accuse d'avoir violé Peng Shuai avant d'en faire sa maîtresse. Aucune réaction de sa part à lui, et impossible de savoir si le message provient vraiment d'elle. Mais que s'est-il passé ensuite ? Est-elle réapparue ? Et est-elle en danger ? Ecoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez". Un podcast écrit et réalisé par Johanna Cincinatis. A écouter aussi : Qu'est-ce que le consentement ? Qu'est-ce que #DoublePeine ?

PENG SHUAI : OÙ SONT LES DISPARUS DE PÉKIN ? – 23/11/21 Invités FRANÇOIS CLEMENCEAU Rédacteur en chef international - « Le Journal du Dimanche » ARMELLE CHARRIER Éditorialiste en politique internationale - « France 24 » PIERRE HASKI Chroniqueur international - « France Inter » et « L'Obs » MARC JULIENNE Chercheur, responsable des activités Chine et Centre Asie - Institut Français des Relations Internationales Où est Peng Shuai ? C'est la question qui est posée massivement depuis plusieurs jours sur les réseaux sociaux et dans le débat public international par le monde du tennis, les chancelleries et même les Nations unies (ONU). La championne de tennis chinoise, ancienne n°1 mondiale en double, n'avait plus donné signe de vie depuis près de trois semaines. Avant sa disparition, elle avait publié un message sur un réseau social chinois accusant l'ancien vice-Premier ministre chinois Zhang Gaoli de viol. Très rapidement, son témoignage avait été effacé, son compte fermé et elle-même était invisible. Jusqu'à ce week-end où des vidéos et des images de la joueuse ont été publiées sur les réseaux sociaux par des journalistes proches du pouvoir de Pékin. Avec en point d'orgue, ce dimanche, un entretien vidéo avec Thomas Bach, le président du Comité olympique international. Pour autant, cette réapparition, mise en scène par les médias chinois, ne semble pas avoir convaincu grand monde. Lundi, l'ambassade de France en Chine a même publié, en chinois, sur son compte Weibo, le Twitter chinois, un communiqué exprimant son « inquiétude sur le manque d'information au sujet de la situation de Peng Shuai ». « Nous appelons le gouvernement chinois à mettre en œuvre ses engagements à combattre la violence contre les femmes », précise l'ambassade. De son côté, l'association Human Rights Watch a accusé le CIO de relayer « la propagande d'Etat chinoise ». L'ONG a fait remarquer que le comité n'indique pas comment l'entretien diffusé dimanche a été réalisé et rappelle que « le gouvernement chinois fait disparaître des personnes dont les opinions ou la conduite sont vues comme problématiques, emploie des formes extralégales de détention et des tortures et publie des confessions forcées pour que des cas douteux apparaissent légitimes. Les autorités chinoises ont une longue habitude de réduire au silence les critiques, y compris les avocats des droits humains, les journalistes, les lauréats du prix Nobel de la paix » et d'autres personnalités « comme l'homme d'affaires milliardaire Jack Ma, la star Fan Bingbing et le chef d'Interpol, Meng Hongwei ». La championne est en effet loin d'être la première personnalité chinoise à avoir disparu des radars. Mais cette affaire remet sur le devant de la scène ces étranges « disparitions forcées » de personnalités chinoises qui menacent le régime communiste, encore largement entourées de mystère. Et cette fois, il y a une importante mobilisation internationale. Alors est-ce que l'on est à un tournant ? Qu'arrive-t-il aux personnes que le régime fait « disparaître » ? Si la Chine a appelé ce mardi à cesser de « monter en épingle » l'affaire Peng Shuai, à quelques mois des Jeux Olympiques de Pékin, et à près d'un an du XXème Congrès du parti, à l'issue duquel Xi Jinping devrait prolonger son propre mandat présidentiel, quelles pourraient être les conséquences de cette affaire ? Enfin que se passe-t-il dans le détroit de Taïwan ? Une semaine après l'entretien virtuel entre le président chinois et son homologue américain, notamment au sujet de Taïwan, qui cristallise toutes les tensions entre les deux puissances, le passage d'un navire américain dans le détroit pour « démontrer l'engagement des États-Unis en faveur d'une Indo-Pacifique libre et ouverte » a fait vivement réagir l'Empire du Milieu.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6793 UNA FAMOSA TENNISTA SPARISCE PER AVER CRITICATO IL REGIME CINESE (POI RIAPPARE, MA...)E intanto la giornalista che denunciò quello che accadeva a Wuhan sta morendo in carceredi Francesca BurattinPeng Shuai, 35 anni, una delle star del tennis più famose della Cina, è oggetto di speculazioni e preoccupazioni internazionali dopo che il 2 novembre ha pubblicato una lunga dichiarazione su Weibo (la piattaforma di social media cinese simile a Twitter), in cui accusava l'ex vicepremier del paese, Zhang Gaoli, di averla aggredita sessualmente.Peng ha dichiarato che lei e Zhang Gaoli, che ora ha 75 anni, hanno avuto per diversi anni una "relazione" extraconiugale, ma Zhang Gaoli aveva smesso di contattarla dopo essere salito nei ranghi del partito comunista. Circa tre anni fa però l'ha invitata a giocare a tennis con lui e sua moglie e poi l'ha aggredita sessualmente a casa sua.Il post è stato cancellato dalla rigida censura cinese in meno di 30 minuti, ma è comunque diventato virale. I censori hanno bloccato parole chiave come "tennis", disabilitando i commenti sull'account di Peng e rimuovendo numerosi riferimenti a lei da Internet in tutta la Cina.L'EMAIL SCRITTA DALLA TENNISTA... O DAL REGIME?L'emittente televisiva statale cinese, CGTN, ha poi rilasciato un'e-mail, sostenendo che fosse stata scritta da Peng, dopo che le preoccupazioni per la sua sicurezza avevano iniziato a crescere: «Ciao a tutti, sono Peng Shuai. Per quanto riguarda le recenti notizie rilasciate sul sito ufficiale della WTA, il contenuto non è stato confermato o verificato da me stesso ed è stato rilasciato senza il mio consenso. Le notizie contenute in quel comunicato, compresa l'accusa di aggressione sessuale, non sono vere. Non sono dispersa, né in pericolo. Sono a casa e va tutto bene. Se la WTA (Women's Tennis Association) pubblica altre notizie su di me, per favore verificatele con me e rilasciatele solo con il mio consenso. Come tennista professionista, ringrazio tutti per la vostra considerazione. Spero di promuovere il tennis cinese con tutti voi se ne avrò la possibilità in futuro. Spero che il tennis cinese diventi sempre migliore. Ancora una volta, grazie per la vostra stima».Il presidente della Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Steve Simon ha condiviso una dichiarazione confermando di aver letto l'e-mail, ma ha chiesto ulteriori prove che fosse stata scritta da Peng. «La dichiarazione rilasciata oggi dai media statali cinesi... solleva solo le mie preoccupazioni sulla sua sicurezza e su dove si trovi. Ho difficoltà a credere che Peng Shuai abbia effettivamente scritto l'e-mail che abbiamo ricevuto o a credere a ciò che le viene attribuito», ha detto. «La WTA e il resto del mondo hanno bisogno di prove indipendenti e verificabili che sia al sicuro. Ho più volte cercato di contattarla tramite numerose forme di comunicazione, senza alcun risultato». Il ministero degli Esteri cinese rifiuta di commentare la posizione della star del tennis Peng Shuai.LA GIORNALISTA CHE DENUNCIÒ QUELLO CHE ACCADEVA A WUHANLa giornalista e attivista Zhang Zhan, che denunciò per prima quanto stava accadendo a Wuhan, invece, si trova attualmente in carcere, dove ha iniziato uno sciopero della fame per protestare contro la sua detenzione. La sua famiglia dice che non si aspettano che sopravviva all'inverno se non viene al più presto rilasciata per motivi di salute.Zang è scomparsa a Wuhan nel maggio 2020, dove si trovava per riportare ai media la situazione della gestione epidemica lì, dove tutto ha avuto inizio. In seguito è emerso che era stata presa dalle autorità cinesi e detenuta a Shanghai, dove è stata condannata a quattro anni di detenzione per «aver provocato disordini» a seguito di un processo farsa.Nel giugno 2020, Zhang Zhan ha iniziato uno sciopero della fame per protestare contro la sua detenzione. A dicembre, il suo corpo era così debole che ha dovuto partecipare al processo su una sedia a rotelle. Prima del processo, le autorità l'hanno alimentata forzatamente e l'hanno tenuta bloccata per giorni interi per impedirle di rimuovere il sondino con cui la nutrivano. Hanno anche costretto Zhang a indossare catene alle mani 24 ore al giorno per più di tre mesi come punizione per il suo sciopero della fame.Il 31 luglio 2021 è stata ricoverata in ospedale a causa della grave malnutrizione. Tuttavia, è stata riportata in prigione dove continua a praticare uno sciopero della fame parziale nonostante il grave rischio per la sua salute, che continua a peggiorare a un ritmo drammatico. Dopo il suo processo, le autorità si sono rifiutate di permetterle di parlare con il suo avvocato o di incontrare la sua famiglia di persona. Le sono state consentite solo telefonate o videochiamate occasionali con i parenti e sempre sotto supervisione.«Zhang Zhan, che non avrebbe mai dovuto essere imprigionata, ora sembra essere seriamente a rischio di morire in prigione. Le autorità cinesi devono rilasciarla immediatamente in modo che possa porre fine al suo sciopero della fame e ricevere le cure mediche appropriate di cui ha disperatamente bisogno», ha affermato Gwen Lee, attivista cinese di Amnesty International.Le storie di Peng Shuai e Zhang Zhan, in attesa di seguirne l'evolversi, sono altre due brutte storie che arrivano da Pechino. Storie di regime.Nota di BastaBugie: dopo la crescente pressione internazionale la tennista cinese Peng Shuai è riapparsa in video. La giocatrice ha parlato in videoconferenza con il presidente del Comitato olimpico internazionale (Cio), rassicurandolo sulle sue condizioni dicendo: "Sto bene e sono al sicuro".Eppure Luigi Conte su Yahoo Notizie il 22 novembre, commenta così questo video:La Cina tenta di seppellire il caso Peng Shuai con la benedizione del Comitato olimpico internazionale (Cio): non usa mezzi termini Le Monde dopo la video chiamata di domenica fra la star cinese del tennis e Thomas Bach.A quest'ultimo Peng ha detto di "stare bene" ma ha anche chiesto il rispetto della privacy. [...]Il quotidiano francese solleva dubbi circa la reale condizione in cui si trova la 35enne ex numero uno mondiale del doppio: "Nulla ci dice che è libera".Secondo Human Rights Watch, la conversazione tra Bach e Peng è stata condotta sotto "coercizione"."Il Cio è complice della macchina della propaganda e di un caso di coercizione e sparizione forzata da parte del governo cinese", ha twittato un attivista dell'organizzazione.Le Monde osserva che il comunicato diffuso dal Cio dopo il colloquio fra Bach e l'atleta è "particolarmente leggero" aggiungendo che il Comitato, "che si appresta a organizzare i Giochi olimpici invernali a Pechino, il prossimo febbraio, non ha citato le accuse di stupro rivolte a Gaoli"."Stando a quanto afferma il Cio, va tutto bene per Peng Shuai ed è meglio lasciarla in pace", prosegue il quotidiano.Il New York Times ha inoltre evidenziato che Peng era affiancata da un "amico" durante la video chiamata, per aiutarla a esprimersi in inglese. Ma la tennista "lo parla correntemente dopo aver giocato per 15 anni nel circuito internazionale", osserva ancora Le Monde sottolineando che "in passato la Cina ha spesso messo in scena confessioni forzate di dissidenti, intellettuali o dirigenti silurati"."Il Cio ha coronato gli sforzi propagandistici di Pechino", si legge ancora nell'articolo, firmato da Simon Leplatre, corrispondente da Shanghai."È dall'inizio della vicenda che il Cio si è distinto per la sua compiacenza con Pechino", conclude il giornalista francese osservando che, "al contrario, l'associazione delle giocatrici di tennis, la Wta, ha deciso di tenere testa alla Cina, anche se rischia di perdere importanti incassi con i circa dieci tornei organizzati nel Paese e i relativi diritti tv". [...]La storia continua ad essere completamente censurata dai media e dai social cinesi, e anche il segnale in diretta di alcune reti internazionali come la Cnn sbiadisce quando i suoi giornalisti iniziano a parlare del caso, ha denunciato la stessa emittente sulla sua pagina web.Il ministero degli Esteri cinese insiste sul fatto che il caso "non è una questione diplomatica".

Last week, Caroline Nokes, former minister, Conservative MP and the chair of the Women and Equalities Committee - accused the Prime Minister's father of groping her 18 years ago at a Conservative Party Conference. Stanley Johnson has so far declined to comment on the allegation, saying he has no recollection of it. Caroline talks to Emma. ‘The Drifters Girl' is a musical which tells the story of Faye Treadwell, one of the first Black women to manage a vocal group in the US. Singer and actor Beverley Knight plays Faye and joins Emma to discuss this remarkable woman. Peng Shuai is one of China's top tennis players, but there are global concerns over her safety after she accused the former Chinese vice-premier, Zhang Gaoli, of raping her in 2018. We talk to Cindy Yu Broadcast Editor at The Spectator. Have you ever been affected by persistent, unexplained pain in your vulva? Vulvodynia is a chronic condition that is thought to affect up to 16% of women. Emma is joined by Claudia Chisari, a PHD researcher in Vulvodynia at King's College London and Sheren Gaulbert, who suffered from Vulvodynia for 10 years. Joan Rhodes could bend steel bars , lift two men at a time, and rip phone books apart. Often described in the press as the strongest woman in the world, she became friends with Marlene Dietrich and even performed for the Royal Household at their Annual Christmas bash. Triona Holden got to know her before she died, and has written her biography ‘An Iron Girl in a Velvet Glove: The Life of Joan Rhodes.

Hour 2 -  Nick Reed talks about a variety of topics in the news, including: City Utilities announced that it's set to purchase two electric buses. CoxHealth CEO, Steve Edwards, announced that he will be retiring. The International Olympic Committee said they held a 30-minute call with Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai. Peng wrote on social media earlier this month alleging sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of China's former vice-premier Zhang Gaoli. Peng claimed Zhang, 75, forced her to have sex despite repeated refusals following a round of tennis three years ago. The post was quickly deleted and then Peng disappeared from social media for over two weeks.

*) Several killed after SUV plows into Christmas parade in Wisconsin At least 5 people died and more than 40 others were injured in the US state of Wisconsin after a vehicle drove into a busy Christmas parade in Waukesha. US authorities confirmed the deaths in a statement. Police said the numbers could change as many people transported themselves to hospitals. A person of interest was in custody but no details have been given on a possible motive. *) European cities hit with wave of protests against renewed Covid curbs A fresh wave of protests has broken out in several European cities and in some French overseas territories over coronavirus restrictions. Police and protesters clashed in the Belgian capital Brussels, several Dutch and Austrian cities, and in the French Caribbean territory Guadeloupe. Europe is battling another wave of infections and several countries have tightened curbs despite high levels of vaccination, especially in the west of the continent. *) Protests in Sudan continue despite deal reached by military, civilian leaders A political agreement has been signed in Sudan which will see Abdalla Hamdok reinstated as prime minister following October's military coup. Top general Abdel Fattah al Burhan signed the agreement on Sunday which guarantees a return to transitional civilian rule and the release of all political prisoners. But many aren't convinced the agreement represents the demands of the Sudanese people, as anti-coup protests continue across the country. *) Chile heads towards polarising presidential runoff Chile's far-right former congressman is on track to win the first-round in the country's presidential election Early results show Jose Antonio Kast in the lead followed closely by leftist lawmaker Gabriel Boric. The pair will likely face-off in a run-off election next month. Sunday's vote will not only determine the president, but also members of congress and regional councils. The vote comes after years of tense protests, with Chileans demanding better living standards. And finally... *) Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai tells IOC she is 'safe and well' The International Olympic Committee says Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai told its president that she is safe and well, during a video call on Sunday. Peng told Thomas Bach that she was at her home in Beijing, and asked that her privacy be respected. Peng had not been seen or heard from since she accused the country's former vice-premier Zhang Gaoli of sexually assaulting her — prompting global concerns over her safety.

Entretanto a associação alegou, nesta segunda-feira (22), que a videochamada de Bach não garante o bem-estar ou segurança de Peng e criticou o Comitê em um comunicado que apontava desrespeito e indiferença às alegações de violência sexual e abuso contra atletas.

On November 2, Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai shared a post on micro-blogging site Weibo accusing a senior Communist party leader, Zhang Gaoli, of sexual assault. The post was immediately censored, and there has been no news about Peng Shuai since then. Peng, who was ranked world number 1 in doubles in 2014, is a big star in China. The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) and several tennis stalwarts, from Chris Evert to Novak Djokovic and Naomi Osaka, have expressed concerns about Peng's whereabouts and safety. They have also called on Chinese authorities to investigate her allegations. But in a strange twist, on Wednesday, Chinese state media shared an email purportedly written by Peng Shuai to WTA Chairman and CEO Steve Simon, in which she says that the allegations of attributed to her are not true and that she was just “resting at home and everything is fine.” Simon, in response, has questioned the authenticity of this email, and said that “Peng Shuai must be allowed to speak freely, without coercion or intimidation from any source.” It is not often that senior Party members face public accusations of sexual wrongdoing. So, who is likely to face repercussions over these allegations – is it going to be Peng herself, for going public about a Party official, or will it be Zhang Gaoli, for causing embarrassment to the Party? And where does the Chinese Communist Party stand with regard to feminist politics and the #MeToo movement? We look for answers to these questions in this episode.
