While the global #MeToo movement has mostly hit countries’ film, media and political circles, in China, it is in universities where it is being felt most.

Professors have been suspended and sacked, while the public presses universities to investigate into allegations of sexual misconduct on campus, according to The New York Times.

Amidst public uproar, the Education Ministry said it had a “zero tolerance” policy and will establish a new mechanism to prevent sexual harassment.

This move surprised former doctoral student at Beihang University, Luo Xixi.

“The ministry’s response was really a surprise, because it’s a commitment from our country. I’m very glad my country is finally making this move,” Luo told AFP.

On New Year’s Day, Luo had accused Chen Xiaowu, a professor of the Changjiang Scholars Program at Beihang University, of sexually assaulting her in 2004. According to SupChina, Luo claimed in a post on China’s equivalent of Twitter, Weibo, that Chen had pressured her to go to his sister’s vacant apartment.
