EXPLAINER: Peng Shuai case shows barriers Chinese women face

Associated Press  

BEIJING — The controversy surrounding Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai’s accusations of sexual assault against a former top politician continues to cast a shadow of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games in the runup to their official kickoff on Friday. CONTROVERSY STILL SURROUNDS PENG’S ACCUSATIONS Peng disappeared from public view last year after accusing former Communist Party official Zhang Gaoli of sexual assault. BIG-NAME COMPANIES ALSO QUASH CASES When a former employee of one of China’s best known companies, Alibaba, couldn’t get human resources or upper management to deal with her accusation of sexual assault, she took a more direct approach. “I will not accept the result of the company’s unsympathetic, unreasonable and illegal way of dealing with this.” LEGAL LOOPHOLES HELP DENY JUSTICE Accusers face a high burden of proof in such cases, and although sexual harassment was recently defined by China’s broad ranging Civil Code, the national law remains weak since it doesn’t lay out any punishments.
