Dear Cindy,
I feel a lot of sympathy for you. I must say that during the three years we passed in China my wife felt always comfortable and it was even such that when she wanted to give a friendly hug to a close friend he was really so shy that he almost refused. Anyhow in your case it is very difficult to choose between a professional and a personal approach. If you want to keep your position I think it is better not to mention it at all but to avoid similar situations in future. As a human being I understand your anger and would defend you but at the same time I know a bit of this world where "bastards" are often ruling. Anyhow like I said it is really exceptional in China that men get aggressive. In Arab countries it is much more common that men think that all Western ladies especially blondies are "easy". I hope that you can cope with this and please avoid over acting because when Chinese men are exceptionally sexually abusive towards women, all Chinese men are too proud to be humiliated. Good luck and please forget this incident and enjoy life,
Andries
