今年45岁的刘是北京电子商务网站JD.com的创始人，8月31日在明尼苏达州的明尼阿波利斯被捕，原因是一名妇女指控他在8月份参加大学商业课程期间强奸了他。刘第二天获释，几个小时后返回中国。

在中国改革开放40周年之际，他也未被列入中国表彰的私营企业家名单。9月下旬，他也没有在上海举行的AI 2018世界大会上露面。

Beforethe arrest, Liu made his first appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos,Switzerland, in January. Speaking at a lunch for about 50 people includingAdidas Group chief executive Kasper Rorsted and Walmart’s US chief Greg Foran,Liu told those gathered about how he overcame poverty and came to start andbuild JD.com.

在被捕之前，刘在一月份首次于瑞士达沃斯举行的世界经济论坛上露面。在包括阿迪达斯集团首席执行官罗斯特德和沃尔玛美国首席执行长福兰在内的约50人的午餐会上，刘告诉与会者他是如何克服贫困的，并开始创建JD.com的。

Alibaba,which competes with JD.com in e-commerce, is the parent company of the SouthChina Morning Post.

阿里巴巴是华南早报的母公司，它与JD.com在电子商务领域持续竞争。

The charge was not made as the investigations could not prove beyond areasonable doubt the alleged act took place. It is not concluded that thereport made by the woman is false and that no such incident took place. Isjustice actually delivered or is there a travesty? An incident did happened butwas it consensual or an act of force. The truth is missing.

​没有提出指控，因为调查无法毫无疑问地证明所指控的行为发生过。然而也没有得出该女性的报告是不实的，该事件没有发生的结论。正义是否真正得到了伸张？事件确实发生了，但是它是自愿的还是强迫的行为？真相无从得知。



Had he been charged, you wouldhave had something negative to say. Now that he isn't charged, you still havesomething negative to say. This is what we call a one-track mind.

如果他被指控了，你会喷。然而他现在没被指控，你还是要喷。这就是我们所说的单轨思维……
