China's former Vice Primier Zhang Gaoli speaks during the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation on May 14, 2017 in Beijing, China. In a sign of the unprecedented level of censorship, even a Weibo discussion page about tennis was closed for comments. Then, one morning about three years ago after Zhang had retired, the post alleges Peng was suddenly invited by him to play tennis in Beijing. Afterward, she writes, Zhang and his wife brought Peng back to their home, where Peng claimed she was pressured into having sex with Zhang. After dinner with Zhang and his wife, and following much persuading from Zhang, she relented, according to the post.
