After having read Peng Shuai's actual post regarding her matter with the now retired official and also reading the very lucid and cogent analysis from the folks at Moon of Alabama (article linked) I have to say that my western sensibilities got the best of me and for yet once again falling victim like a sucker that I am for the black propaganda the west, pushed by it's propaganda outlets in this case, the NYT on inventing a RAPE allegation that is simply not on the original now deleted post by Peng.
Her letter itself read like a woman heart broken, disappointed, and heartbroken from her 3 years love affair with Mr.Zhang. She felt used and discarded which are all understandable because that's what people feel whenever a serious relationship unceremoniously ends. But that's a far cry to what we in the west have been led to believe and as I had suspected all of these non existent drama is just yet another lame attempt by these western people to damage China's standing in the world and most importantly to keep punching on China rhetorically to help condition the population to a future conflict. But right now the real goal is to impede and if possible stop many western countries from going to China's winter Olympics.
