In 2013, a pipeline leak resulted in an oil slick that also coated a beach on the nearby Ka Samet island.[1]
In late January 2022, an leak in the pipeline operated by the Star Petroleum Refining Public Company Ltd caused a spill of 20 to 50 tonnes across 47 sq km of water, with some oil reaching the coast of Rayong province 20 km away.[1][2]
On February 7, 2022, Peng participated in what The Washington Post called "a carefully managed interview with French media".[3] Accompanied by an official with the Chinese Olympic Committee, Peng announced her retirement from competitive tennis and said there had been "a huge misunderstanding" surrounding her accusation of Zhang, her disappearance from the Chinese internet, and her well-being, reiterating "I never said anyone sexually assaulted me."[3][4][5]
