China’s #MeToo claims bigwig

– The former head of China’s government-run Buddhist association is under criminal investigation for alleged sexual assault.

Xuecheng is one of the most prominent figures to face accusations in China’s growing #MeToo movement.

He stepped down earlier this month after a report by fellow monks accused him of sexual and financial improprieties.

In the 95-page report, monks accused him of sending explicit text messages to at least six women. –
