China sexist adverts: Tech firms apologise after damning report

Leading Chinese tech firms have pledged to address gender discrimination in job ads after a damning report by campaign group Human Rights Watch. 

Sexist recruitment practices had contributed to a decrease in the proportion of women working. 

Tech giants and government agencies had published "male only" adverts, as well as others asking women applicants to be trim and aesthetically pleasing. 

Alibaba, an E-Commerce giant, said it would conduct stricter reviews.
