An activist who shouted "Where is Peng Shuai?" and held up a sign with the same message was removed from Center Court during the Wimbledon men's final on Sunday.

Drew Pavlou, an activist who made a similar protest at the Australian Open this year, said he shouted the message during a stoppage in play and was then forcefully removed from the stadium.

"I didn't want to disrupt the actual match itself, so I waited to make sure there was a break in the play and then I just basically held up a sign saying, 'Where is Peng Shuai?'" Pavlou told The Associated Press. "And I just said, 'Where is Peng Shuai? This Chinese tennis star is being persecuted by the Chinese government. Why won't Wimbledon say something?'"

Did you ever think you would ever see the day where a country would rise like Nazi Germany and engage in genocide, have concentration camps, use prisoners for organ harvesting, engage in animal torture, and not only does US sports organizations support them but our own politicians as well who PROTECT them! “Don’t call it the China virus, that’s RACIST!” Um yeah OK, well you know, besides engaging in genocide, they also killed around 6 million people with that Fauci virus but yeah, we don’t want hurt the feelings of the mass murderers do we.

Well, they killed 70 million of their own people in The Great Leap Forward and the world sat by and watched and pretended Hitler was the most evil at 11 million. It’s no wonder Obama, Biden, Democrats in general worship the ground Mao walked on.
