Chinese e-commerce giant
Alibaba
has fired an employee who accused her boss of
sexual assault
earlier this year, government-backed newspaper
Dahe Daily
reported on Saturday
.
The newspaper interviewed the employee, who claimed to have received a dismissal notice at the end of November, and
published a copy of the dismissal letter.
The letter explained that the employee had spread "falsehoods that had damaged the reputation of the company."
"I have not made any mistake, and I will not accept this decision. I will use all legal means at my disposal to
protect my rights and interests,"
the employee assured.
Alibaba,
China's largest e-commerce firm,
was rocked by an accusation of sexual assault last August, after this employee published an 11-page account on the company's internal network, in which she claimed that her boss and a client had sexually assaulted her while on a business trip.
Screenshots of the victim's post went viral on the Weibo social network and sparked a wide response in China.
Alibaba then decided to fire the boss accused of rape and two senior managers who ignored the victim's complaint.
However, the alleged aggressor flatly denied the facts.
In China, issues of sexual harassment and assault were rarely discussed in the public sphere until the #MeToo movement took off in 2018, when a Beijing university student publicly accused her teacher of sexual harassment.
