However, those who deliberately fabricate facts and make false charges or frame-ups under the pretext of grievances shall be seriously dealt with in accordance with relevant provisions of the Group, and shall be transferred to judicial organs for investigation of criminal responsibility in accordance with law if the action constitutes a crime. If it is confirmed that the grievant intentionally fabricates lies or fictional situations that interfere with the grievance acceptance centers or cause waste of human, financial, or material resources, the grievant may be held legally or financially liable.
24. If any department of the Group conceals or delays reporting on the grievance circumstances, does not cooperate with investigations, sets obstacles to obstruct investigations or retaliates against the grievant, the grievance acceptance centers have the right to investigate the responsibilities of the relevant persons and hold the main leaders of the department accountable.
