China's #Metoo movement signals a shift in sexual attitudes

Experts say gender equality is gaining ground among the younger generation.

The #MeToo movement in the United States, which has exposed alleged widespread sexual assault and harassment in Hollywood, reached a crescendo on Jan 7 when TV host and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey gave a rousing speech at the Golden Globes ceremony in Los Angeles.

"I want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizon," she said, as the star-studded crowd erupted in applause.
