Her post was deleted nearly 30 minutes after publication and Peng\u2019s account was soon blocked to searchers.\u00a0From that point on, no one heard from or saw Peng in public, raising concern over her safety.\u00a0Multiple tennis stars including Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka spoke out on social media on her behalf, demanding answers.\u00a0Then last week, a written statement attributed to Peng was posted to Twitter by CGTN \u2014 a Chinese state-affiliated media company \u2014 in which Peng recanted her claim that she was sexually assaulted.The statement immediately raised concerns regarding her safety and whereabouts, and most assumed she did not write the statement herself, or was coerced into doing so.\u00a0The Winter olympics are in Beijing this year, and the chair of the World Tennis Association said he is willing to pull business out of China if Peng\u2019s safety can\u2019t be confirmed and if there isn\u2019t an investigation into her allegations.\u00a0Fred Lee\/Getty ImagesVideo EmergesThe WTA statement seemed to garner a reaction from the Chinese government, as a video emerged over the weekend showing Peng eating at a restaurant with her friends and a coach. The footage was posted by the official newspaper of China\u2019s Communist Party, casting obvious doubt on the legitimacy of Peng\u2019s safety.\u00a0The International Olympic Committee released a statement saying they held a video call with Peng, in which she said she was \u201csafe and well\u201d but asked for privacy.\u00a0Remember: The Chinese Communist Party has a well documented history of threatening those who speak out against the state \u2014 including billionaire businessmen and entertainers.\u00a03) The Most Expensive Thanksgiving Meal EverThe Topline: As inflation continues to rise and supply chain backups persist, this year\u2019s Thanksgiving meal will be more expensive than ever. And now, there\u2019s growing concern over a potential nationwide turkey shortage.Quote Of The Day: \u201cPeople are going to the grocery store and they\u2019re getting sticker shock cause they\u2019ve jacked the price up \u2014 a turkey that was 35 dollars last year is 70 dollars this year.\u201d -Chris Simpson, owner of Field of Dreams farms in TennesseeTurkey ShortageThe USDA released a new report showing that turkey inventories were 24% lower this year compared to the last three years. In addition, according to the Farm Bureau, turkey prices this year are almost 25% higher than last year.\u00a0Now, many grocery chains have responded by limiting the number of turkeys people can buy at once, and some started placing warnings on their website that they can\u2019t guarantee they\u2019ll be able to fulfill online orders that include turkey.Via Getty Images\u00a0The ReasonsAccording to farmers and economists, the shortage has been caused by the labor shortage, as well as increased costs on goods essential for raising livestock and meat birds.\u00a0Chris and Sue Ellen Simpson, farmers in Tennessee, told the Daily Wire prices have been impacted by \u201cthe shortage of labor when it comes to trucking these birds from the farm to the processing, from the processing to the market,\u201d among other things. They also said increased gas and grain prices have left many farmers with no choice but to raise costs.\u00a0Prices Up Across The BoardThe Farm Bureau report showed that the cost of an average thanksgiving meal this year is up 14% compared to last year. And that\u2019s not because just one product is more expensive. Nearly every industry has been impacted, with prices on pie crusts up 20% this year, and dinner rolls up 15%.\u00a0+++\u00a0Other Stories We\u2019re TrackingAccording to a new United Nations report, the ongoing supply chain crisis may drive costs of computers, apparel and furniture up 10%.The report cites problems with \u201ccontainer ship carrying capacity, container shortages, labour shortages, continued on and off COVID-19 restrictions across port regions and congestion at ports\u201d that could lead to price hikes through 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":71,"featured_media":1898608,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1043668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1043668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1043668"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1043668\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1898608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1043668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1043668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1043668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
