Default WTA announces immediate suspension of tennis tournaments in China

China is Angry at this move.


[The Women's Tennis Association
has announced the immediate suspension
of all tournaments in China amid concern
for Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai.

Peng, 35, disappeared from public view
for three weeks after accusing a top
Chinese official of sexual assault.
WTA chief Steve Simon said he had
"serious doubts" that Peng was "free, safe
and not subject to intimidation".
"In good conscience,
I don't see how I can ask our athletes
to compete there," he said.
In response, China said it
"opposes the politicisation of sports".]

I hope that the Chinese Government hasn't done anything to her.
