Screenwriter Zhou Xiaoxuan speaks during an interview with the Associated Press at her home in Beijing, China, detailing her involvement in China's #MeToo movement
A WOMAN whose lawsuit against a popular TV host for sexual harassment goes to trial in Beijing tomorrow says she hopes the case will encourage more Chinese women to come forward.
Zhou Xiaoxuan accuses Zhu Jun, a wellknown host on China Central Television, of having groped and forcibly kissed her in 2014 and demands a public apology and 50,000 yuan (£5,000) in damages. Mr Zhu denies the charge and has counter-sued for defamation.
“There are very few sexual harassment cases that get to a court hearing,” Ms Zhou said today. “We hope each individual case can be a type of push forward.”
