Wu was embroiled in a scandal that erupted in late July last year, when the student and influential Du Meizhu denounced, in an interview with the local news portal NetEase, that Wu had raped her three years agowhen she was 17.
form a group to engage in promiscuous activities
Du accused the singer of fool young who wanted to become actresses and to get them drunk to have sex with them.
Shortly after, more than ten brands with which he collaborated wow cut ties with him, including the Yunting music broadcasting platform and the Kans cosmetics company.
Wu’s case put the ‘#MeToo’ movement in the spotlight in China, a country where it did not take root in part due to the difficulty posed by the legal system to demonstrate the complaints of sexual harassment.
I saw how many wrongly convicted individuals were proven innocent after DECADES, and god I hope his departure to Canada will give him the opportunity to file an appeal.
If not, in 13 years, I’d be 34 and he’d be 44. I’ll wait for that long cuz I just love #Kriswu like that. pic.twitter.com/oqBSOIH1kc

In the last year, cases of violence against women such as a video showing a woman chained by her neck in a rural area of Jiangsu province (east) and the beating of women in a restaurant in the city of Tangshan ( north) aroused the indignation of the population, part of which demands greater protection for women and children, an issue that was present at the meeting of the Chinese Legislative Assembly last March.
Violence against women and girls is a serious violation of human rights and the right of women to live without violence is included in international agreements. Globally, only 40% of women seek help after suffering violence, forcing institutions to promote prevention and assistance policies.
