Her allegations have been widely shared on Chinese social media. Mr Zhang said the manager accused of rape had admitted that "there were intimate acts" while the woman was "inebriated". The letter went on to say: "He will be fired and never be rehired. Whether he has committed rape or indecency that violates the law will be determined by law enforcement."
