The Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers, has criticized the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for not doing enough to verify the welfare of Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai.
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), chair and co-chair of the CECC, respectively, voiced their criticism in letters dated Nov. 24 to IOC President Thomas Bach, and IOC Athletes Commission Chair Emma Terho.
