WTA SUSPENSION OF TOURNAMENTS IN CHINA, INCLUDING HONG KONG
The Chairman of the Women’s Tennis Association, or the WTA, Steve Simon, announces immediate suspension of all the tournaments in China, including in Hong Kong, post missing of Chinese Tennis Player, Peng Shuai. The athlete had disappeared for 3 weeks after accusing a Top #CCP Official, the former Chinese Vice-Premier, Zhang Gaoli, of a sexual assault. The chairman had a released a statement stating, “In good conscience, I don’t see how I can ask our athletes to compete there in 2022 or later for any of the events, citing the risks that our players and staff could face. Unfortunately, the leadership in China has not addressed this very issue in any credible way.”
Not only is this action, such a good step, but we feel it’s the beginning to ban sports tournaments of every form in China. No player, or a spectator from overseas, including a Chinese, is safe, as long as terrorists like #CCP exist. It’s time to boycott Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022, including businesses and all trade deals with China.
As Hong Kongers, we appreciate this action taken, and wish for more. Our top activist, and the youngest lawmaker in Hong Kong History, had called this step, “Powerful Statement.”
