A heavily edited surveillance video that shows a young woman inviting Richard Liu, the Chinese e-commerce billionaire, into her apartment is being used as proof to cast her as a “gold digger” and undermine her rape allegations against him.
But some are pushing back, our New New World columnist Li Yuan found, using hashtags like #NoPerfectVictim to fuel an intense, often vicious debate about consent in a country where discussion of gender issues and rape has been muted — and sometimes suppressed by the government.
Reminder: Mr. Liu, the founder of JD.com, was arrested last year in Minneapolis after the young woman accused him of raping her after a business dinner. The prosecutors in Minnesota declined to charge Mr. Liu. His accuser, a 21-year-old student at the University of Minnesota, is seeking damages of more than $50,000.
