Peng Shuai: China Tennis Star Denies Making Sexual Assault Claim

Peng Shuai says a Weibo post that accused a former Communist Party official of sexual assault has been misunderstood.
Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai has denied accusing anyone of sexually assaulting her, despite an earlier social media post that said a former Communist Party official had forced her into having sex.
In comments to a Singaporean newspaper on Sunday, Peng said that her post on Weibo had been misunderstood.
Peng’s interview with Lianhe Zaobao came amid increasing concern about the tennis star’s wellbeing after she appeared to allege on November 2 that former Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli had sexually assaulted her in the past.
The post was quickly censored and Peng was absent from public view for nearly three weeks afterwards.
“First, I need to stress one point that is extremely important, I have never said or written that anyone has sexually assaulted me. I need to emphasize this point very clearly,” Peng said in the video posted by Lianhe Zaobao on Sunday.
Peng Shuai said she had been living at home in Beijing without supervisionShe said the post on Weibo was “a private matter” and that “people have many misunderstandings” about what she wrote.
She did not elaborate further.
The comments on Sunday marked the first time the 35-year-old had addressed the matter on camera in public. She spoke on the sidelines of a cross-country skiing event in Shanghai that she attended.
The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), which earlier this month said it would suspend tournaments in China immediately due to concerns about the treatment of Peng and the safety of other players, continued to call for an investigation.
“It was again good to see Peng Shuai in a public setting and we certainly hope she is doing well,” it said in a statement.
“As we have consistently stated, these appearances do not alleviate or address the WTA’s significant concerns about her well-being and ability to communicate without censorship or coercion,” it said.
“We remain steadfast in our call for a full, fair and transparent investigation, without censorship, into her allegation of sexual assault, which is the issue that gave rise to our initial concern.”
China has not directly commented on Peng’s initial post but said after the WTA’s move to suspend tournaments in China that it “opposes the politicisation of sports”.
Zhang has not commented on the matter.
Discussion of the scandal, which emerged as Beijing prepares to stage the Winter Olympic Games in February, has been heavily censored in China.
Peng said in the Lianhe Zaobao video that she had personally written a letter last month to WTA head Steve Simon, in which she denied the allegation of assault, and that an English translation of it by Chinese state media was accurate.
Simon had said at the time that he “had a hard time believing” that Peng had actually written the email or believed what had been attributed to her.
But Peng told Lianhe Zaobao that the email was legitimate and written “entirely of my own free will”.
She also said she has been mainly staying at home in Beijing and was free to come and go as she chose.
The Lianhe Zaobao reporter did not ask how or why the lengthy and highly detailed November 2 post appeared, or whether Peng’s account had been hacked.
The newspaper’s footage on Sunday appeared to show Peng on a fifth-floor viewing balcony with athletes from various sports, including former NBA basketball star Yao Ming.
She wore a black jacket with a China flag and a red T-shirt with the characters for China.
The International Olympic Committee, which has held two video calls with Peng, has taken a different tack to the controversy than the WTA. Top officials from the sporting body say they believe Peng is fine after video chatting with her.
The controversy has added to protests over Beijing’s hosting of the Winter Olympic Games because of the government’s human rights abuses.

DJ Robot ft TMP Offisial & Fateoftheyouth – “NDSM Deluxe” Mixtape

DJ ROBOT teams up with TMP OFFISIAL and FATEOFTHEYOUTH for NDSM DELUXE, a new DJ mixtape that expands the world of NDSM — No Dey Stress Me into a bigger, more energetic listening experience.
Built around DJ ROBOT’s approach to sequencing, mixing, and controlling energy, NDSM DELUXE transforms the NDSM mindset into a full sonic journey. The mixtape explores nightlife, pressure, temptation, confidence, freedom, desire, and the decision to simply refuse to let life overwhelm you.
Bringing together DJ ROBOT’s DJ-driven vision with the creative energy of TMP OFFISIAL and FATEOFTHEYOUTH, the deluxe edition adds new dimensions to the original NDSM message while maintaining its central philosophy: No Dey Stress Me.
Rather than simply extending the original project, NDSM DELUXE is designed as an experience — moving through different moods, rhythms, and moments while allowing each transition to contribute to the story.
For DJ ROBOT, the project represents an opportunity to communicate through energy as much as words.
“The original NDSM had more energy and stories to explore. I wanted to take the ‘No Dey Stress Me’ mindset beyond the song and turn it into a full DJ experience — something that captures nightlife, freedom, pressure, temptation, and the moments when you simply choose to enjoy yourself and live in the present.”
