I don't see the relevance of the Lewinsky scandal to this. No one disappeared in the Lewinsky scandal, right?

> This does not reveal anything more than what Lewinsky revealed about the US voting politics.

Read my words.

There is nothing in parallel between them. They just reveal a lot of similarity of how to play the sexual scandal for political gains in 2 political systems. Peng Shuai and Gaoli are not going to be harmed in any way more than Clinton and Lewinsky.

As for anyone disappearing. No one will, CCP will make sure of that. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/22/china/peng-shuai-public-appea...

She reveals less about one party rule than she reveals about basic male/female interaction

The former prime minister not only shoot his shot early and in an aggressive manner

Later he didn’t follow up the courting to make sure that she could be feeling good about being on his mind for a while (and not just his penis for a night)

More generally if you don’t have a ring on it expect every woman who you had a romantic approach (successful or unsuccessful) to talk smack about you .

Sometimes the smack talking also comes if you put a ring on it .

The higher the fame then the biggest the platform given to her when the smack talking begins

The smack talking is not personal , meaning it’s not “against-guys” ….it’s “pro-her” to reinforce to herself and society the fact that there was a clear reason for her not receiving a marriage proposal or 500 , and that she dodged a bullet .

There are many reasons your comment would be getting downvoted. I found this paragraph particularly awful:

> Peng Shuai is not pretty in the current PS & facial surgery standard, but her energetic and strength as a pro athlete no doubt make her a desirable partner in any relationship. Gaoli had such a high taste is a revealing fact of their humanity.

Has someone actually disappeared in this case?

Is there any suggestion that she was detained in a secret location? Or is it just that she was effectively removed from all the media and public functions?

It's not clear to me.

So how is the parallel relevant to an article titled "What Peng Shuai reveals about one-party rule"?

Well, political fights based on sexual activity. If you dont like to see why Gaoli made this awful deed, then you have to understand the underlying human drive. I am stating a fact. Facts hurt, but that does not make my statement awful. It's just that readers dont like certain facts.

They reveal the characteristics of how 2 systems play out the sexual scandal. Of course, the actual revealed facts are different.
