Thread: Videos show Indonesians rioting at Chinese Belt and Road Initiative project

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Videos surfaced over the weekend after a deadly riot broke out at a Chinese-run Belt and Road Initiative project in Indonesia on Saturday (Jan. 14).


That day, Indonesian workers staged a one-day strike to protest the working conditions and pay at a plant run on Indonesia’s Sulawesi island run by PT Gunbuster Nickel Industry (GNI), a local unit of China’s Jiangsu Delong Nickel Industry. During the protest, which started around 10 a.m., Indonesian workers and numerous Chinese workers brought into the country by the firm violently clashed with each other inside the factory, according to China Labor Watch.


The workers also clashed with security officers who were dispatched to the scene by the company. By evening, Indonesian workers set fire to their dormitories, heavy machinery, and company vehicles.

Central Sulawesi police spokesman Didik Supranoto was cited by AFP as saying that at least 71 people were arrested, including 17 who were suspected of causing damage. According to Supranoto, a 30-year-old Chinese employee and an Indonesian worker were killed during the riot.


The industrial park, which was developed by China's Jiangsu Delong Nickel Co. to produce ferronickel and stainless steel, was inaugurated by Indonesian President Joko Widodo in 2021. According to the Environmental Justice Atlas, the industrial park has "faced some social, environmental, and labor complaints and violent protest," and the first and second stages of the project have been absorbed into the China-Indonesia "Belt and Road Initiative."

What a surprise . . . getting rid of Cambos and assorted Pac Islanders is easy . . . Indons get upset quickly and show it. China facing reality of what it's like outside its borders

Because, as usual, the Belt and Owed bribes benefit a few corrupt officials and are usually detrimental to the indigenous population.

Chinky parasites at it again.

It seems the Indos may have something in common with the Vietnamese in that unlike the Thai, the Lao and the Cambodians, they don’t crawl up Chink arse and lick their balls on the way out.
