News summary

Wang Di, a PhD student at Renmin University in China, has accused her professor of sexual harassment and threats to hinder her academic progress after rejecting his advances, prompting the university to launch an investigation. In a 59-minute video posted on Weibo, she detailed the abuse and shared audio clips as evidence, including one where a man attempts to kiss her while she repeatedly says 'No, no, teacher.' Her allegations, which received over 2.2 million likes on social media, led to the professor's immediate dismissal, revocation of his party membership, and a report to authorities. The university emphasized its zero-tolerance policy towards ethical misconduct, yet public accusations of sexual harassment in China remain rare amid government suppression of social movements. Wang expressed her willingness to face legal consequences for her claims, underscoring the personal risk involved in her decision to speak out. The incident highlights ongoing issues related to gender equality and the challenges faced by victims of harassment in China.
