In China a company will commonly own residences to lease to workers. In some locations they are a city altogether. A very nice company may have nicer houses, most just have mini apartments.
When such a factory/company shuts down, the housing is like a town that blows away with the company.
Especially true for mining operations in remote areas.
Not surprising knowing the culture.
