Tech billionaire has to face public scrutiny in China
Hong Kong (CNN Business)Richard Liu won’t face sexual assault charges in the United States, but the tech billionaire is having to contend with a renewed bout of public scrutiny at home in China.
Prosecutors in Minnesota said Friday that they won’t file charges against Liu, the CEO of Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com (JD) who was arrested in August on suspicion of rape.
Liu’s case has gripped China, where billionaire company founders often enjoy celebrity status. Social media users have been sounding off in large numbers about the prosecutors’ announcement and Liu’s response.
