A PhD student at a top Chinese university publicly accuses her supervisor of sexual harassment

A female PhD student at one of China’s top universities took social media by storm after accusing her academic supervisor of sexual harassment and said he threatened to stop her from attaining her doctorate for refusing his advances. Her school said Monday it launched an investigation.

The woman, who identified herself as Wang Di and said she studied at Renmin University of China’s School of Liberal Arts, posted Sunday a 59-minute video, in which she briefly held up an identification card on the Chinese social media platform Weibo and talked about how she was abused.

The professor has not immediately responded to the AP’s request for comment.
