Chinese authorities and powerful (male) players are resilient in exploiting the same digital affordances that powered #MeToo to drown out victims of sexual violence.

The CCP has tacitly encouraged cyber bullying of Chinese feminists to prevent the movement from gaining ground.

Chinese women are owed profound apologies for the extensive and inhumane acts committed against them during the one-child policy years. But genuine contrition doesn’t stop at words.

Close on the heels of the Kris Wu scandal, charges of sexual assault and harassment at Alibaba emerged.
