#MeToo, Chinese Style

Apparently, the Chinese Communist Party is not quite as omnipotent as we imagine it to be. Consider this #MeToo moment from a government office.

A party official sent unwanted and harassing text messages to a female employee. Being strong and empowered, the woman fought back, with a mop and with books and with water.

The Daily Mail has the story (via Maggie’s Farm):

A female government worker in China repeatedly hit her boss in the face with a mop and threw books and water at him after he allegedly harassed her with unwanted text messages.

Footage show the young woman, known only as Zhou, marching into her manager's office in a 14-minute video posted on Weibo which has been shared millions of times since Sunday.

As her boss, identified as Wang, remains seated at his desk, she hits him three times around the head with the mop, pauses to shout at him, and then swipes him with it again.

Apparently, said party official had sent similarly harassing text messages to her colleagues also. After an investigation the manager was fired. He also lost his CCP position:

Zhou, who claims her boss sent inappropriate text messages to her three times, and similar ones to her colleagues, filed a police report last week.

Following an internal investigation, Wang was found to have 'life discipline problems'. 

He was fired from his job and removed from his Communist Party position, according to the Xinhua News Agency, Asia One reported.
