Why do you expect her to be safe if she's not communicating?
Look at what happened to Jack Ma - he was also “disappeared”, but he showed couple of times since. Such a flamboyant persona like him to turn into a “monk” in just couple of months shows that CCP knows how to shut people up without harming them.
When they release her she will also be put on a short leash and try staying lower than grass.
I can read
> but I don’t believe they are that plain evil
so that the writer does not think the ccp is just evil, meaning they are more than just evil. So the writer might think the cpp does evil things probably including:
> disappearing someone in order to intimidate them into operating "on a short leash"
but without making the cpp just or only evil.
Having authorities (for example) scream in your face about their ability to wreck your career and that of all your friends and family is not what most people would consider "safe".
Without leaving evidence of harm, maybe, but I wouldn't be so forthright as to claim that there is no harm. Torture tactics have become quite advanced and many leave invisible scars.
Peng Shuai can easily come over for Wimbledon or an Olympics and ask for amnesty and get it. But her family are at the CCPs mercy if she does that.
‘We’ll find everyone in your family, your family’s family, and so on, you will never be in peace’. There’s nothing more effective than that.
And yeah, their kids were either banned from studying interesting majors, or at least their education became more complicated.
This even concerned highly qualified people such as surgeons.
