In spite of hosting a variety of political fundraisers and events the Marriot Hotel in Prague, following the instruction of upper corporate leadership, has refused to host a World Uyghur Conference in said Hotel, citing "political neutrality."
Human Rights Watch said:On November 21, 2021, the IOC said in a statement that its president, Thomas Bach, had a 30-minute video call with three-time Olympian Peng Shuai, joined by a Chinese sports official and an IOC official. The statement said that, during the call, Peng appeared to be “doing fine” and “relaxed,” and said she “would like to have her privacy respected.” The IOC did not explain how the video call with Peng had been organized, given the difficulties other concerned parties have had reaching her.
Peng, 35, went missing on November 2 after she said on Chinese social media that she had been sexually assaulted and forced into a sexual relationship with Zhang Gaoli, 75, who was China’s vice premier from 2013 to 2018.
On November 18 the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) received a statement purporting to be from Peng, recanting her abuse claim. In response, the IOC said that it was “encouraged by assurance that she is safe.” On November 19 and 20, photos and videos of Peng appearing in her home, in a restaurant, and at a youth tennis event in Beijing emerged on Twitter accounts affiliated with government-run media. At the same time, Peng has not spoken directly with the media or the WTA.
Women's Tennis having bigger balls when confronting the CCP than the NBA is a gloriously ironic turn of events.For some reason the Women's Tennis Association is still freaking out over this, but it must be that time of the month or something.
What is with China and having such a problem with all things Viral?
That it has reached the point, where that is the best thing we can say about the AZ gov, is frightening on so many levels.I mean, at least they arnt commies
I mean look.That it has reached the point, where that is the best thing we can say about the AZ gov, is frightening on so many levels.
So many horrors and abuses of power have been excused by 'at least they aren't commies'; seeing one of the 5 Eye's hit that point is...not at all comforting.
Don't get me wrong, I still have more respect of Aussie's as a people and nation than I ever could for the CCP, but the current Aussie gov is doing a good N. Korea impression these days with their virus/vax measures.
That's fair.I mean look.
What Aussie land is doing is horrible
Still better then being commies
I mean look.

...Is the state in control of the means of production? If yes: Commie/Socialist, if no, then no.state-capitalist tendencies'
It is not that simple with the CCP, and that's part of why we've kept falling behind the curve on the CCP.....Is the state in control of the means of production? If yes: Commie/Socialist, if no, then no.
