LINK China’s Peng Shuai Says She Never Accused Anyone Of Sexual Assault In Interview With French Newspaper
Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai said she never accused anyone of sexually assaulting her and announced her retirement from competition in an interview published by French newspaper L’Équipe on Monday, marking the second instance of her retracting an earlier account of sexual coercion by a former Chinese vice premier amid international concerns that the was being pressured to do so by Beijing.
(That they forced her to retire from competition means they are afraid to let her travel internationally to compete, as they fear she would never return to China and resume her accusations as an expatriot.)

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I am trying to wrap my head around the last paragraph, as it seems contradictory....if you were the accused, would it not be better to have her far away from the jurisdiction?

Nope! Damage control in dictatorships is much easier when you have total control of media access and the victims are close by.
I meant she'd resume he accusations from outside China as an expatriot.
