Online censors blocked Peng Shuai’s post on Weibo of Zhang Gaoli’s alleged assault over several years
The Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai has apparently accused a former vice-premier of sexual assault, engulfing the highest echelons of Beijing’s ruling Communist party in a #MeToo scandal for the first time.
Authorities scrambled to stop the allegations from spreading, with online censors even appearing to block the word “tennis”.
