The International Olympic Committee is patting itself on the back for how it rug-swept the disappearance of Peng Shuai while making deals with Chinese businesses affiliated with slave labor and surveillance. The organization’s shamelessness grows ahead of the 2022 Games.

The IOC touted its handling of Peng’s disappearance in a letter to Congress, noting that it could choose public pressure or “quiet diplomacy.” It chose the latter and celebrated that “quiet diplomacy works.”
