SHANGHAI - China's top political advisory body, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), has accepted the resignation of JD.com Chief Executive Richard Liu for "personal reasons", CCTV reported on Thursday.
JD.com did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.
Liu has fought allegations of sexual harassment against a Chinese national while studying at the University of Minnesota last year.
Through lawyers, he maintained his innocence throughout the law enforcement investigation, which ended in December when prosecutors announced Liu would not be charged.
In April, the woman who has accused Liu filed a civil lawsuit against him in Minneapolis.
