He demanded a thorough investigation and correction of the violation of the system by a trade union in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, which allowed Wang Wenjie (29 years old), a Chinese skilled intern, to bear the cost of returning home.

During this period, he has been reporting to the company that the leakage problem in the dormitory has had a negative impact on his life, and made a claim for compensation to the company before returning home in September last year. At that time, the company refused to pay compensation, and Wang Wenjie postponed his return date.

The receiving union privately contacted the Chinese intermediary dispatch company and forcibly withdrew 47,900 yen from the deposit of 100,000 yuan that Wang Wenjie had placed in the company before going abroad.
