So... will she be trialled for slandering a high-ranking member of the ruling cabal? What's that, no? Why not, why does she enjoy that privilege? Why doesn't the punitive government want to punish her for issuing a "false" rape charge and "smearing" China's name in the international scene? Is it because he did rape her, this recantation is a lie, and they just want the focus off this topic as soon as possible?
[edit: I didn't read the post as sarcasm, duurrrr]

You realize that it is highly likely this is a coerced statement right? She’s been missing for weeks and now she recants her claims

My reading of the comments to which you're replying indicate heavy sarcasm and that you're both on the same side of this debate.
I suspect you're right durrrr :D
What a win for justice! I'm so glad that we were able to clear the name of the innocent CCP Vice-Premier, who was so maliciously accused, and that the family of the tennis star was returned safely to their home.
To all the people saying that she's been threatened and that's why she's taking it back: uhhh, do you have any idea how many people would have to be involved? It would be impossible to keep it a secret, somebody would say something. Take off the tinfoil hats, guys.
Implicit conspiracies just take an alignment of incentives. Western companies operating in China want the recantation.
Manhattan Project....also, seriously?
This occurs regularly you know? And to most of the people involved she's just another prisoner.
She never made an allegation of sexual assault. Her post was deliberately interpreted incorrectly to stoke anti China propaganda.

The funny thing is that Western propaganda has become as predictable and crass as old style Chinese propaganda.

Did you forget her first forced email included the claim that “allegations in [her original post] weren’t true”? Now the story is there were never any allegations…?

Why did they censor her posts and block searches of “tennis”? Why did the government “disappear” her and write fake emails pretending to be her…?

BTW, DeepL translates her original post to say he forced her to have sex with him…

I also heard the New York Times translation of her statement was wrong. Any native speakers willing to translate it accurately for us?
Yeah, go with Deepl, I'll trust Chinese speakers, preferentially.
