    Allowing her and her family free travel is the best option to know she’s safer. Still, as we have seen in the case of many Uyghurs who have escaped abroad, their families back home are threatened to try silence them.https://twitter.com/BeijingPalmer/status/1461944444735864833 …

    It's very likely that Peng Shuai will eventually be coerced/forced into some kind of public statement on video. At that point it's important to remember CGTN's history of broadcasting 'confessions' obtained by threats and coercion, as numerous victims have testified.

        It's the threats against one's family, friends, that the CCP finds works the best...

        Whether her family are willing to free travel in a country with daily covid case 100k/death 1k+ is a different story. If they are unwilling, of course, it can interpreted as no being allowed to by the regime.

        it's not just high profile people like this who's families back home get threatened... China has created a lot of low level soft-spies using this method.

        Speaking of the Uyghurs, very interesting to see what the exchange rate for Muslims vs. Han athletes is for public outrage (talks of boycotts, UN demanding answers) 1 Han tennis player is worth about 1.5mm Uyghur Muslims

        (Not necessarily a direct exchange rate as we KNOW about the concentration camps, we only suspect about Peng’s disappearance)
