EU demands proof missing Chinese tennis player is safe

Published November 30, 2021 8:46pm ET



The European Union demanded on Tuesday China release “verifiable proof” of the safety of tennis player Peng Shuai, who disappeared earlier this month.

The EU is seeking evidence that Peng, a three-time Olympian and former top-ranked doubles player, is safe after she disappeared from the public eye earlier this month. The tennis star went missing after she accused a former Communist Party official, Zhang Gaoli, of sexual assault, and there has been little evidence to point to her well-being since.
