Even North Korea wouldn’t have someone with global name disappear. They would pull the same stunt. 

Peng Shuai isn't a global name. She's not been a top player since injury in 2015. What's more, she's been suspended for offering money for a player to withdraw from 2017 Wimbledon. She's hardly won a singles match in the last three years and was basically semi-retired. Her last good season was 2017.

Technically he says he's for the freedom of choice (the choice NOT to have a vaccine)
