Employee told the Dahe Daily the company terminated her for spreading false information about being raped
Alibaba Group Holding has fired a woman who accused a manager of sexual assault, a surprise move that came just months after China’s e-commerce leader admitted bungling its initial response to the allegation.
Her account — including a video of her handing out leaflets while shouting at the top of her voice in the company cafeteria — went viral and turned China’s number two company into the highest-profile symbol of abuses regarded as prevalent throughout businesses and tech firms, the by-product of an environment that often prioritises achievement over culture.
Posts carrying the hashtag “Female Alibaba employee fired” had attracted more than 680-million views as of Monday morning. Police reports also appeared to refute elements of Zhou’s account, including her assertion she had found an open pack of condoms under her bed. The report reignited debate around Zhou’s account, splitting public opinion about the extent to which she was a victim.
