Swedish Website Publishes #PoliticalCartoon, Mocking the "Unsportsmanlike behaviour by Beijing"
A satirical cartoon drawn by artist Niklas "Kludd-Niklas" Eriksson was published on a Swedish website Kinamedia.
The cartoon goes with the title "Unsportsmanlike behaviour by Beijing," referring to how the Chinese Community Party (#CCP) deployed different means to silence the country's own top tennis athlete #PangShuai.
As one of the most well-known female tennis player from China, Pang in early November 2021 disclosed on social media that CCP's former Vice Premier #ZhangGaoli had coerced her into sex at his home, in the presence of his wife. The social media post was soon removed and Pang has not been seen in public since then.

Women's Tennis Association suspends all tournaments in China amid concern for female tennis player #PengShuai
Chinese female tennis player Peng Shuai, aged 35, disappeared from public view for three weeks after accusing Chinese former Vice-Premier #ZhangGaoli of sexual assault.
#WTA chief Steve Simon said he had "serious doubts" that Peng was "free, safe and not subject to intimidation".
"In good conscience, I don't see how I can ask our athletes to compete there," he said.
News of the WTA suspending tournaments in China has been removed from the internet in the country, although the WTA's account on Chinese social media site Weibo is still available.
