sexual assault investigation China Merchants Shekou Hangzhou Binjiang District corporate misconduct drinking culture

Chinese authorities have detained Zhao Haifeng, an executive at China Merchants Shekou, and Yu Tingdong, a deputy district chief in Hangzhou's Binjiang District, following allegations of sexual assault. The incident reportedly took place in July at a KTV following a business dinner.

Investigations indicate that the victim, an employee of a real estate firm, was assaulted by both men. During the encounter, Zhao allegedly pushed the woman, resulting in injuries to her lower back that have been preliminarily classified as level two minor injuries.

Both Zhao and Yu have been dismissed from their respective positions. Reports suggest the dinner was held to celebrate a land acquisition in Hangzhou. The case has sparked significant public outcry on Chinese social media, highlighting concerns regarding workplace hierarchy and ‘drinking table culture’ involving female employees.
