Alibaba is responding to allegations of rape faced by one of the managers

Chinese trade and technology giant Alibaba is responding to allegations of rape faced by one of the company's managers. He and two other men from the company's management, who did not respond sufficiently to this accusation, were fired. Alibaba has now stated this in a statement addressed to all its employees. The woman the company manager was supposed to rape spoke about the incident on the Weibo social network. The superior was to rape his colleague by a drunk in a hotel room. The Yahoo portal informed about it. Alibaba is willing to cooperate with law enforcement agencies in China. This is one of the first cases in the country that rape is handled publicly by a superior. The American movement MeToo, which fights against sexual harassment and abuse of women, was not very active in this Asian country. The company's manager admitted his mistake. "We will release him. But whether the rape is really committed must be decided by the police and other authorities, "Daniel Chang, head of Alibaba, told Alhoo. Other Alibaba employees sympathize with the woman. They call on society to take strict measures to prevent sexual pressure or rape. Although China officially prohibits gender discrimination, Alibaba, according to Bloomberg, is hard evidence of a reality that is commonplace, especially in large Chinese technology companies. In China, according to many, Alibaba has already become a symbol of women's abuse, as it is a company that prioritizes profit over corporate culture. This may be a groundbreaking verdict in China, the MeToo movement has not been very active and popular so far. Precisely because of the traditional sexist culture, especially in large societies, similar cases of victims have not been reported at all until now. However, in addition to several thousand Alibaba employees, the current Chinese president, Xi Jinping, now wants to fight inequality. The fact that the MeToo movement is growing stronger in Asia is also confirmed by a similar case that reached the public a few days ago. Star Chinese actor and singer Kris Wu allegedly abused more than two dozen girls. If found guilty, he could go to life. However, the Chinese prince of pop denies all allegations.
