Patrick Frater Asia Bureau ChiefA court in Jinan, China on Wednesday sentenced a man to 18 months of prison time for sexually assaulting a female employee at Chinese e-commerce and entertainment giant Alibaba. The man, Zhang Guo was the employee of a supermarket chain who was negotiating a business deal with Ms Zhou in the middle of last year. Zhang and an Alibaba manager were accused of plying the woman with drink at a working dinner, assaulting her during the dinner and then again in Zhang’s hotel room.The case achieved national significance as it simultaneously fed into several uncomfortable narratives.
Zhou made a written complaint to Alibaba’s human resources department about the incidents. But the company either failed to take her seriously or sought to cover it up. Only when she uploaded 11 pages of accusations to social media did the company react.
Alibaba fired the male manager, known only by his surname Wang, and sought to bring in corporate rules defusing China’s after-hours corporate drinking culture. The company also fired Zhou for spreading false information and for damaging its reputation. Prosecutors took no action against Wang, though Zhou’s lawyers report that this may be appealed.The belated and awkward actions of the tech giant further damaged the company’s profile at time when China’s regulators were mounting a multi-pronged assault on the activities and business practices of the country’s leading tech firms.And the case gave further ammunition to China’s nascent #MeToo movement.
