This is a wild story.
China's greatest ever professional tennis player, who is currently #14 in the world in Singles and #1 in Doubles has gone missing, after 2 weeks ago posting to Chinese social media that a high-ranking communist party official sexually abused her 3 years ago. No one knows where she is, cannot be reached, and outside of a shadowy social media post put out there on her behalf, hasn't been heard from in 2 weeks.
The WTA (governing body for world-wide professional tennis) has actually gone on the offensive, threatening China with removing events from the country.
Quite the difference in reaction to that country, than we've seen from other sports leagues (ahem, NBA).
