was on a rural farm that week, missed it
according to the one thing i saw she posted about a sexual assault from a high ranking party official so other women would feel like its okay to come forward since she could. 30 minutes later the tweet and her account is taken down and she disappears, then a few days later she gives what appears to be a scripted apology saying she made it up.
that could be totally wrong/inaccurate i got no clue, so whats up?
More than just an affair, given the significant power imbalance, for sure.
But I don't think your quote indicates assault, at least not physical. Significant pressure maybe.
Ultimately, according to your translation, she "agreed" in light of her "affection". (Edit: After a lot of badgering.)
I want to discuss with my Chinese coworkers after the new year because I find it hard to trust any translation out there or understand the nuances, but at the moment I'm thinking: Imbalanced, inapropriate, manipulative and abusive relationship by a POS party official who I hope China deals with, and that the ultimate result is transparent.
