Deputy CFO Howard Li is alleged to have  
made inappropriate remarks about Han’s  
body and her romantic relationships, and to  
have told her he “fantasized” about her. He  
also allegedly told another female coworker  
that her “personality is boring” and that “the  
longer you wait, the harder for you to fi nd a  
boyfriend. So, it’s better for you to go back to  
China now and get married.” 
VP of Human Resources Hongxi Liu alleg- 
edly told Han that women “should talk about  
how to keep up the household and raise chil- 
dren  instead  of  arguing  over  company  poli- 
cies.” Jiang Xia, the company’s VP of Project  
Development and Contract Management  
Department,  purportedly  played  love  songs  
and touched Han’s hands while they were  
alone in an offi  ce together. 
Jersey Digs 
 also reports that Han claims  
that when she raised the concerns to China  
Overseas President Xiaocheng Zhou, he told  
her in a “joking” manner that she would be  
fi red if she kept raising problems. Chairman  
Wendong Xu was also allegedly dismissive of  
her concerns during a meeting on the issues. 
Han says she was fi red last September over  
the complaints and received a separation letter  
from the company off ering a return ticket to  
China “given the cancellation of her H1-B visa  
status.” She is suing the company for $1 mil- 
lion, according to the report. 
Th  e February lawsuit follows two others  
in January: One alleges 19 separate construc- 
tion defects, including cracks in the building’s  
parking garage,  water  leakage, broken skirt- 
ing boards, poor wood fl ooring installation,  
and unsafe windows, according to  
Jersey Digs 
.  
Another fi led by two condo purchasers alleges  
that the ceiling heights in a 75th fl oor pent- 
house unit were much lower than advertised.  
(No word on whether it is the same 75th fl oor  
penthouse there that sold for a record $3.9 mil- 
lion in April as reported by nj.com.) 
At the beginning of April, 18 eventual  
purchasers fi led a complaint that square foot- 
ages at the 781-unit building are about 14%  
to 21% smaller than China Overseas stated.  
When contacted by  
Jersey Digs 
 regarding this  
most recent litigation, China Overseas shared  
a brief statement through Boston-based PR  
fi rm ML Strategies: “Th  e company denies the  
allegations contained  in the Complaint and  
it intends to vigorously defend the case.” Th  e  
company has yet to fi le a legal response to any  
of the complaints in Hudson County Court.
