Off-court match stirs China

Tennis star Peng Shuai has accused Zhang Gaoli, a former senior ruling Chinese Communist Party leader, of pressuring her into a sexual relationship in social media posts that were quickly removed by censors in a country where officials have tried to keep the #metoo movement in check. The former tennis doubles No. 1 detailed the affair, the humiliation she suffered from Zhang’s wife, and her social isolation caused by being made to keep the affair secret.
