Production resumed at a China-owned nickel smelter in Indonesia on Tuesday after a deadly weekend riot highlighted lingering tensions over the presence of Chinese workers in the Southeast Asian country. Police said the violence erupted on Saturday at the PT Gunbuster Nickel Industry (GNI) plant in Morowali, Central Sulawesi province, and was fanned by an allegedly false rumor that Chinese employees had attacked their Indonesian counterparts who were protesting over wages and labor safety. “Information from the management shows 2,963 employees returned to work today,” including 350 Chinese workers, Central Sulawesi provincial police spokesperson Didik Supranoto told RFA-affiliate BenarNews.
