Outcry over Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai’s whereabouts escalated as the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) threatened to pull tournaments out of China over her disappearance and the White House asked Beijing to prove she was safe.

And here are a couple of formal statements from the WTA:

The WTA also calls for end of censorship against Peng Shuai.
