Another Wow...I'm so surprised at this development.

A Chinese university has fired a professor accused of sexual misconduct, after a former student named him in a #MeToo campaign.

Beihang University in Beijing said an investigation had established that Chen Xiaowu had sexually harassed students.

The former student, Luo Xixi, shared her story on China's version of Twitter, Weibo, earlier this month.

Late on Thursday, Beihang University announced that Mr Chen had been found to have "seriously violated" the school's code of conduct.
Mr Chen had been removed as vice-president of the university's graduate school and had his teaching credentials revoked, it said.
"The school will draw lessons from this... and improve," said the university added in a Weibo post on Thursday.
The professor has previously denied the allegations against him.

What surprised you the most? That she had found that others had shared her victimization/ that the authorities looked into it and found he committed serious violations/ that he had previously denied it/ that she was encouraged by others getting their voices heard? I don't understand your shocked stance?

China has never been much for the idea of equality in women's issues.

Surprising then that they are more compassionate than .... ok

I was surprised too because justice and mercy are not a common trait of communism.
