On 2 November 2021, Peng posted a lengthy message[9] on her verified Weibo account where, according to several media outlets, she accused Zhang Gaoli, a retired Chinese vice-premier and member of the Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), of having forced or pressured her into sex three years previously.[1][10][11][2] Deutsche Welle, SET News, and United Daily News provided screenshots of her post, where Peng mentioned a sexual encounter with Zhang at least seven years before. Zhang, who was 40 years her senior, had pursued her initially.[3][12][4] Upon his appointment to the PSC, Zhang stopped contacting her.[UDN 1] About three years before, however, after his retirement, Zhang and his wife brought Peng to their home after a tennis game. He wanted to be intimate with Peng, who kept crying and disagreed at first.[UDN 2][2][13] After having supper with the couple and some more persuasion from Zhang, while scared and nervous but still carrying feelings for him from the past, Peng in the end agreed.[UDN 3][2] The incident apparently rekindled an extramarital affair and Peng wrote that they would at times talk for hours, play chess and tennis, and "getting along so well that everything just felt right".[UDN 4][6] Every time she visited Zhang, however, Peng suffered humiliation from his wife's verbal abuse.[14] Zhang had said that while he loved Peng, divorcing his wife was politically impossible, and Peng lamented about the importance of title and status ("名分").[UDN 5][7] Following a dispute on 30 October, with Zhang seemingly about to "disappear" on her again, Peng came out with her account, despite not having made any audio or video recordings as evidence of her relationship with Zhang.[UDN 6] According to Shannon Tiezzie of The Diplomat, unhappiness with the hidden nature of the relationship and repeated slights apparently caused Peng to post her story,[7] while Cindy Yu, writing for The Spectator, expounded upon the modern phenomenon of rich, successful men in China keeping "concubines".[6]

While Chinese authorities have charged officials in the past with sexual misconduct under corruption, this was the first time a member of the top echelon of the CCP has faced public allegations.[15][8] Peng's revelations drew attention to the #MeToo movement in China, which in 2021 saw the arrest of Kris Wu and the firing of a male Alibaba executive after widespread discussions online and criticisms from state media.[2][16][8] In contrast, Peng's post was removed from Weibo within 20 minutes of being uploaded, although screenshots of it were saved, and all discussion about the matter became subject to blanket censorship in China.[17][8] Despite this, knowledge of the news continued to circulate in some form in China, with #MeToo activist Zhou Xiaoxuan expressing sympathy for Peng.[8][2]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ We had sexual encounter once seven years before, afterwards you were promoted to the Politburo Standing Committee, left for Beijing, and didn't contact me again. [...] Afterwards you kept denying it, but truly it was you who favored me first, otherwise I would not have been able to come into contact with you. 七年前我們發生過一次性關係，然後你升常委去北京就再沒聯繫過我。[...]後來你一直否認，可確是你先喜歡的我，否則我也不可能接觸的到你。(ref: United Daily News Network 聯合新聞網 2021)
  2. ^ Approximately three years ago vice premier Zhang Gaoli you retired, [...] After our AM tennis session, your wife Kang Jie and you brought me to your home. Then brought me to a room at your residence, like that time over 10 years before in Tianjin, wanted to have sexual encounter with me. [...] On the afternoon that day I originally did not agree and kept crying, had supper together with you and aunt Kang Jie (editor's note: Zhang Gaoli's wife), [...] Nonetheless after supper I was also unwilling, you said you hated me! 大概三年前張高麗副總理你退休了，[...]上午打完球，你和妻子康潔一起帶我去了你們家。然後把我帶進你家的房間，和十多年前在天津時一樣，要和我發生性關係。[...]那天下午我原本沒有同意一直哭，晚飯是和你還有康潔阿姨（編註：張高麗妻子）一起吃的，[...]晚飯後我也並不願意，你說恨我！(ref: United Daily News Network 聯合新聞網 2021)
  3. ^ And said in those seven years you had never forgotten about me, will treat me well etc ...... afraid and nervous and carrying my feelings for you from seven years before I agreed ...... so yes we had sexual encounter. 又說你這七年從未忘記過我，會對我好等等......我又怕又慌帶著七年前對你的情感同意了......是的就是我們發生性關係了。(ref: United Daily News Network 聯合新聞網 2021)
  4. ^ [...] from that day on I re-opened my love for you, [...] Together we played board games, sang, played ping-pong, billiards, and tennis we could always play until we couldn't be merrier, our personalities were so compatible as if everything matched. [...] we could chat forever, talk on and on without end [...] 從那日後我再次打開了對你的愛，[...]一起下棋，唱歌，打乒乓球，桌球，包括網球我們永遠可以打得不亦樂乎，性格是那麼的合得來好像一切都很搭。[...]我們有聊不完的天，講不完的話[...] (ref: United Daily News Network 聯合新聞網 2021)
  5. ^ Every time you let me visit, behind your back your wife said so many nasty and insulting things to me, all kinds of caustic mockery and ridicules. [...] from the day I met you until now I've never used any of your money, let alone using you to obtain any benefit or perk, but this thing called standing is so important. [...] In our respective life each of us is a real-life invisible person, your wife is like the queen from Empresses in the Palace, while words cannot describe how unbearable I feel [...] 每次你讓我去，背著你你妻子對我說過多少難聽侮辱的話，各種冷嘲熱諷。[...]從認識你第一天到現在沒用過你一分錢，更沒通過你謀取過任何利益或者好處，可名分這東西真重要。[...]我們在彼此的生活中都是真實生活中的一個透明人，你的妻子好像甄環傳的皇后一樣，而我無法形容自己多麼的不堪[...] (ref: United Daily News Network 聯合新聞網 2021)
  6. ^ There was a very big dispute on the night of the 30th, [...] using the excuse of re-connecting later ......, just like this "disappearing" like seven years before, after playing around you change your mind the moment you no longer want me. [...] True, beside myself I haven't left any evidence or proof, no audio recordings, no videos, only the true experience of how I've been twisted. 30號那天晚上爭議很大，[...]藉口說改天再聯繫......，就這樣和七年前一樣＂消失了＂，玩玩想不要就不要了。[...]是的，除我以外我沒留下證據證明，沒有錄音、沒有錄像、只有被扭曲的我的真實經歷。(ref: United Daily News Network 聯合新聞網 2021)
