Chinese tennis player has been staying in her own home "freely" and will make a public appearance "soon", Global Times editor-in-chief Hu Xijin, a prominent state-media journalist, said on November 20.
Former doubles world number one Peng has not been seen or heard from publicly since she said on Chinese social media on November 2 that former vice-premier Zhang Gaoli coerced her into sex and they later had an on-off consensual relationship.
Neither Mr. Zhang nor the Chinese government have commented on her allegation. Ms. Peng's social media post was quickly deleted and the topic has been blocked from discussion on China's heavily censored internet.
