This is the perfect example of "1984" logic. It's not enough that a person be destroyed. They must be made to defend and promote their destroyers, then be destroyed. This is human tragedy. RIP Peng.

I wonder if this is the norm for Chinese celebrities, are they all raped as the party leaders please.

I read an article not so long ago about how yes, if you are a Chinese female celebrity you are essentially a prostitute and a slave. The article did not talk about male celebrities. Wish I could find it again.

It's more capitalist in the western sports world. Like Anna Kournikova getting $500k a night from Saudi princes when it became clear she couldn't compete on the court. But that's her choice.

Yes. This is normal. The same thing goes on in the US.

The CCP doesn't like rich popular people.
