This is like one of those spam emails that reads "Hi, this is Lady Gaga, I lost my wallet, please Cashapp me $100 so I can finish my new album".

A Chinese official would answer #WhereIsPengShuai:
This is a private matter and I suggest you ask her personally. China protects personal privacy by law.

Half the point is that they *don't* expect you to believe it. They just want to make sure that ordinary folks know that someone with this much clout can be made to bend the knee, so if you are a nobody, best not even think it.

一看就知道是被迫的。国企媒体不知道这样的行为被外界看为可耻吗？明显不知道外界的看法，国企媒体根本被外界看为无法信任，开海外账号只是在浪费时间金钱。

Allow her to travel outside of China to give an interview. Nobody believes this is real.

Even she could go to other countries, she would still be afraid to speak freely. Because her family is still in China who would be under threat.
