Peng Shuai’s New Bombshell

The ongoing saga in the Peng Shuai Me Too sexual assault allegation against a top CCP leader has taken another bizarre turn. When confronted by a reporter from a pro-Beijing Singaporean newspaper, Shuai denied ever making the allegation.

How convenient. When the story first broke, the rising tennis star disappeared and her name and the word “tennis” were banned from the Chinese internet. But following a global backlash, she again is back in the public eye, even seen hanging out with former NBA superstar Yao Ming at an event. It was at this event that the pro-China reporter just happened to seek her out.

In what appeared to be a scripted response, Shuai told the reporter it was important to emphasize that she was never assaulted by anyone. China Uncensored’s Chris Chappell has the story and also discusses the discovery of a baby dinosaur in China.

Tesla-China Honeymoon Over

Tesla is being targeted by the Chinese Communist Party, potentially ruining Elon Musk’s China ambitions. It all began at last week’s Shanghai Auto Show, a perfect venue for Musk to show off his new Tesla. One problem: the demonstration was met by a lively protest, claiming the U.S. cars were dangerous and defective.

Wait a minute, a protest in Community China? That’s right. The protest hit a nerve in China, sending complaints about the company across the Chinese-controlled internet. And to no one’s surprise, the CCP-controlled media joined the narrative. Remember, things don’t go viral for very long on the tightly scrutinized Chinese internet, unless censors allow it.  Result: Most of the social media comments came to the conclusion that they should buy Chinese cars instead of Tesla. It appears the Tesla-China honeymoon is over.
