Core Viewpoint - The forced co-investment system implemented by China Overseas Chinese Town Group has raised significant public concern, particularly regarding the inability of employees to recover their invested funds due to project suspensions and financial difficulties [1][11]. Group 1: Co-Investment System Overview - The co-investment system was initiated in 2019, mandating that all investment projects implement co-investment, with exceptions requiring approval from the company's party committee [3][5]. - Employees required to participate in co-investment include project company leaders and key personnel, while other employees may participate voluntarily [3][5]. Group 2: Employee Experiences and Concerns - Employees, such as Wang Tian, reported significant financial losses, with some investing substantial amounts and only recovering a fraction of their investments after being laid off [5][6]. - Legal attempts to reclaim funds have been unsuccessful, as courts do not recognize the co-investment as coercive enough to constitute legal "forced" participation [5][6].
