The WTA to resume tournaments in China this fall

For these reasons, the WTA is lifting its suspension of the operation of tournaments in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") and will resume tournaments in China this September.

Through our time and commitment in China over the past 20 years, the WTA has made significant progress in creating a pathway and opportunity for women athletes to pursue tennis as a career and for tennis to become a focus of recreational activity in the country.

With the suspension, we forfeited our ability to provide women in the region with opportunities to advance professionally through tennis and be role models for future generations. 

So Ms Baerbock smashed through the women's strike on China. Human rights.
