Chinese court dismisses landmark #MeToo sexual harassment claim against CCTV anchor

A Beijing court has dismissed a sexual harassment case brought against a high-profile anchor at Chinese state television CCTV. The ruling, delivered on September 14, 2021, following “insufficient” evidence, was described by observers as “disappointing.” The case, filed by former CCTV intern Zhou Xiaoxuan against TV anchor Zhu Jun, was the first high-profile #MeToo case to go viral in mainland China.
