The sexual assault scandal of Alibaba Group Holding Limited (9988.HK, BABA, abbreviation: Alibaba) has triggered a heated discussion about workplace culture on the Internet. This incident is prompting some other Chinese companies to face up or formulate their own ’S anti-sexual harassment policy.

Sina and iQiyi did not respond to requests for comment.
