Hey, Zhang Gaoli: When will you emerge from behind Xi’s back and face up to the accusation that you abused tennis whiz Peng Shuai? If you didn’t do it, you shouldn’t have anything to fear, seeing as you’re a former higher-up of the CCP with the full force of the state behind you. But if you’re guilty, you ought to come out of your coward’s den and take the heat — that is, if you have even a modicum of decency left to your name. But maybe that’s too much to ask. After all, with all the lying, caging, censoring and menacing that your regime routinely carries out, it seems that petty gutlessness is the norm among you and your sadistic pals. Is this what the world will learn from your deafening silence — that China is run by a gang of tongue-tied pipsqueaks? Or are there still a few honest men among you kitten-kicking boys?
