Accusations of sexual assault and attempted rape
On September 23, 2023, Xu Chen, a communication professor, gives a detailed account on the Internet of the sexual assaults she had suffered at the hands of Fu Jin.[6] She meets him for the first time as the head of her PhD defense committee, then a second time at a conference. The third and last time they meet is at a theater festival. One evening, he invites her to his hotel room. He pushes her on his bed and tries to undress her, but she manages to escape. He then follows her to her room and threatens her. He continues to contact her for the rest of the festival. Following this event, Xu Chen suffers a breakdown and Fu Jin uses his power to block Xu Chen's articles and research projects.[6][7]
Following Xu Chen's publication, Shandong University confirms that Fu Jin is dismissed, and his CV disappears from the official website.[8][9]
