And you thought Brazil was the where body modification is the thing.Props to the WTA. Seems 1/3 of their revenue comes from their presence in China. Unlike the NBA who bowed to financial pressure the WTA is standing up for right and wrong. Too bad more don't take the hint.
On a lighter note this is the guy who she accused of assault. I've never seen a shittier toupee.

I thought it was for a few weeks, turns out it was three months. That "pawn shop mentality" remark really cost him. You offend Lord Commander Xi and it's black bag time.

Kage, I said back in early 2015, Bernie would never be elected President.
He simply lacks the persona and the gravitas to win. And his push for "Democratic Socialism" is one of the most perplexing of all time.
Which is why Bernie lost TWICE. And then the turkey declared he had a "Red Line," as if he is somehow POTUS, raging against a nation's use of poison gas.
If you really think you can force China to do your singular bidding Kage, then by all means board a jet to Beijing and prove everyone wrong.
Try and be mature in your next post, Kage.

Just an FYI, it is nothing new to boycott an Olympic game. Lots of countries boycotted the following Olympics:
China Can’t Censor Away Growing Anger Over Athlete’s #MeToo Accusation (Published 2021)
The tennis world is outraged over the latest twist in a star player’s complaint of assault and abrupt disappearance from public life.www.nytimes.com
So a ranked Chinese tennis player once had an affair with a former Vice Premier high up in the Party. Not sure of their history, but at some time after the affair ended, she was at his house for a tennis lesson (even met the wife) but afterwards she claims she was raped. She publicly accuses her attacker on Chinese social media, and pretty soon afterwards she disappears and her posts are scrubbed.
Now everyone wants to know, where is Peng Shuai? Even Biden sees an opportunity to play tough guy with China and seems to be calling for a boycott of the Olympics. Should athletes pull out of the Winter Games until we know that she’s safe?

I have a strong suspicion that poster is CCP.

If Biden and the Democrats gave a full throated defense of Peng, this would be the position of the right wing media and Republicans.
All of a sudden Chana would be the aggrieved party. Amazing!

IOC interview with Peng Shuai raises even more questions
A video call between the head of the International Olympic Committee and Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai, whose nearly three-week disappearance from public view sparked an outcry, was meant to reassure the world that she was safe -- but instead has raised more questions.

Right a phone call where a Communist Party official is on the line? I'm sure the government has had time to quarantine her family.She has resurfaced

Was she asked about the assault?

oh I am sure it was closely monitored, just saying at least it's not 3 months 😛
the great firewall of China has been busy erasing all comments about this lol. Even the official she is accusing is missing.

Is that good enough? Or is she under coercion? It's like you people want something bad to happen to her, even though she's resurfaced multiple times. Stop buying into the US propaganda that she's been detained. The US is using this as an opportunity to drum up support for boycotting the winter games. Like we really give a shit about someone nobody here has ever heard before, other than to use it to demonize China.

Claims of 2 million in interment camps, yet provides no sources or how she came to the conclusion, other than it "matching a report that the Network of Chinese Human Rights Defenders submitted to the committee."
Well, the CHRD is an organization headquartered in Washington, DC and funded by the US government’s regime-change arm, AKA the NED, rebranded arm of the CIA.
If you begin looking into the specifics of these claims of genocide, internment camps, imprisonment, etc., you'll notice that details are very vague as to where the sources of these claims are coming from and how the 1-3 million figure was obtained.

Get stomped and double down again, do you need to show us on the doll where Democratic Socialism touched you?
Yeah pretty immature of me to show how full of shit you are. Thanks for illustrating my point perfectly numbnuts, and I have to say the extra step of closing your account is as delightful as it is satisfying.
Good luck with your next account moron.

This will be a common occurrence in the anti-women world of the evangelical right soon enough in the south. Where women are just baby carriers against their will
The ccrp and the right wing with are like brothers. Another reason to just let them form their own country

Like they say that the two party system in murrica is a scam, the plurality of opinions of it's people is also a scam. In the end they're all murricans, a crazy people with crazy ideas about the rest of the world.
