China censored the names of Peng Shuai, one of China’s top tennis players, Zhang Gaoli, ex-vice premier who retired in 2018, and Kang Jie, Zhang’s wife, after Peng accused Zhang of sexual assault with help from Kang.

Along with censoring the three names, anything related to this alleged scandal was removed and banned from China’s internet.
