#Metoo: Bystanders harass Chinese woman going court

-

A Chinese woman was shoved by antagonist­ic bystanders as she headed to court Tuesday in one of the few remaining #Metoo cases from a tamped-down movement whose legacy remains uncertain. Zhou Xiaoxuan, a former intern at Chinese state broadcaste­r CCTV, became the face of the country's #Metoo movement after going public with accusation­s against a prominent CCTV host in 2018. Since then, the movement has been largely shut down by authoritie­s as activists found their online posts censored and faced pressure from authoritie­s when trying to hold protests, but Zhou has continued to speak out.
