According to the impeachment text, Zhuang denied any sexual harassment, admitting only that he had sought a handshake from a female subordinate to warm his hands and asked her to go to his room to revise his speech because his hands were cold. Women subordinates are frightened, uncomfortable and offended by the above-mentioned acts, and their human dignity has been violated or interfered with, but they dare not speak out because of their power. Zhuang Shuohan’s behavior has met the definition of sexual harassment, there are serious violations.<\/p>\n

Jiang Qichen said that the attitude of the foreign affairs department in handling this matter makes people think that there are other cases are also handled with a similar mentality?
