China Labor Watch notes Virtue Dragon Nickel Industry's (operated by Jiangsu Delong) online recruitment advert is deceptive, including the promise of 'paid leave every sixth months' at a time when a large number of workers were stranded and unable to return to China due to COVID-19.

A Chinese construction worker said workers working for mining company Tsingtuo 'feel cheated by labour brokers' as advertisements do not reflect conditions upon arrival. One worker notes crowded living conditions, being promised four to a room but instead being in a room of 10. Recruitment also likely involves a significant number of third-party outsourced companies.

Chines migrant workers for Virtue Dragon Nickel Industry are employed via an intermediary. When they arrived in Indonesia, their passports were taken away as soon as they got off the plane. They then found that their salary had been changed from CNY 15,000 (around US$2,200) per month to a monthly subsidy of just CNY 1,000 (about US$150). According to CLW and media interviews with these workers, when they wanted to leave, the agency asked them to pay CNY50,000 (about US$7,400) each to get their passports back.

"Compounding Vulnerabilities: Chinese Workers In Indonesia" 22 December 2023
This report documents the findings of CLW’s investigation in China’s Belt and Road nickel production projects in Indonesia. It aims to amplify Chinese overseas workers’ voices through diving into their lived experiences in some of the largest nickel production industrial projects in Indonesia backed under ill-regulated Chinese capital...
CLW’s on-site research and correspondence with Chinese workers from 2021 to 2023 has found various egregious labor malpractices which were systematic and widespread:
Passport confiscation
Poor contracting practices
Withholding payment of wages
Workplace injuries and poor occupational safety
Absence of Indonesian work permit
Restriction of movement
Physical violence against the breaching of workplace rules and regulations.
...some of these issues–such as the restriction of movement, the lack of work permit, and illegal contracting practices–vary before and after the pandemic or by employers. The report highlights how these practices systematically disempower workers, erode their rights and freedom, and transfer companies’ business risks to the bearing of individual workers...
