Aye; that’s why the AP version stood out to me, even before I read the other, different translation.
I’m very curious as to which is more accurate.
At this point, they have had her long enough so that anything she says is probably part of the script. It probably is her though, not a deep fake or whatever. This is the same thing they did with Jack Ma…today, he is allowed out from time to time to say how happy he is and how everything is great and he loves the CCP and appreciates how much they do to…er, I mean FOR…him.
The only way we’d get a straight story from Peng Shuai at this point is if she were to be allowed out of the country, and she has no ties or family still within the CCPs grasp…something very unlikely to happen.
Just a huge misunderstanding?
She will also probably retire.
That’s what they are going with…
Not a misunderstanding - the CCP objected and coerced Shuai to comply.
She wrote a 1600-word essay! It’s not exactly a Twitter post.
