[PJ] The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) will pull out of China, costing the organization "hundreds of millions of dollars" if the Communist government in Beijing won’t account for star player Peng Shuai and investigate her explosive allegations of sexual misconduct by a high-ranking Party official.WTA chief Steve Simon told CNN on Thursday, "We’re definitely willing to pull our business and deal with all the complications that come with it."
Bravo WTA! Actions our feckless government would never consider undertaking.
"Because this is certainly, this is bigger than the business," he added.
Simon insisted that Chinese officials handle the investigation "properly, meaning the allegations must be investigated fully, fairly, transparently and without censorship."
NBA, take note: This is how it’s done.
Shuai — a former Wimbledon and French Open doubles champion— went missing two weeks ago, just a few days after accusing former Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of having sexually assaulted her three years ago.
Weibo, China’s state-controlled social media platform, deleted Shuai’s allegations shortly after she published them.
