| Very worrying. With China you have to worry if she'll ever again see the light of day, or even if she's alive. Hopefully enough pressure can be applied to eventually at least get some answers. If she ever again has the opportunity to leave the country (big if now), after this incident I doubt she'd be in a rush to return.

I suspect you will however when she does appear the first thing she will do is apologise to the Chinese people and admit the errors of her way.

If I was here I'd possibly do that if I had to, then get out at the first opportunity. Then again there is a culture of shame and fear at criticising the Chinese government or speaking up in general, so maybe Stockholm Syndrome will kick in.

She's just a tennis player I feel sorry for her that she is in this situation. She may seek asylum once she plays outside of China but I expect the Chinese will remind her that they have her family.

I must admit, although i have travelled quite a bit, going to China or Saudi/Dubai,never really appealed to me, just in case I accidently break a rule, like smiling at the Saudi princes mrs eyeing me up, or taking her phone number that she secretly slipped in my pocket!

| Released some hilariously unauthentic photos to try and claim she’s fine. God knows where she is but hope she’s alright.
