Liu Jingyao alleges the attack happened in 2018 while Richard Liu was in Minneapolis for a weeklong residency in the University of Minnesota’s doctor of business administration China program, geared toward high-level executives in China.

Chinese feminists touted the settlement as a qualified victory for the country’s beleaguered #MeToo movement. In China, the legal system offers little recourse for female victims, and rape is rarely discussed.
