Chapter 828: May Indonesia
readx;
It was only a week after Zhang Ke returned to Jianye, and Tang Yingpei was also handed over by the Jianye police to the Jiangnan Provincial Public Security Department for investigation. Soon after the joint investigation team with a large lineup and members selected by the members of the Pen, Fun www.biquge.info and Pavilion teams went down, a number of personal injury cases involving the Huaxi Group surfaced, and many unsolved cases also pointed directly at the Huaxi Group.
Some cases have even been filed with the Ministry of Public Security, but due to local laxity, they have not been able to pursue them.
At this time, the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government initially realized the seriousness of the problem, and the Huaxi Group was a super-large-scale economic criminal gang with a triad nature parasitic on the local area of Zhangzhou, illegally plundering hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth every year, even exceeding the local financial revenue of Zhangzhou, and breeding for more than 10 years, and the province seemed to be unaware of this.
At the same time that the Jianye police handed over Tang Yingpei by the Jianye police, the officers and soldiers of the United Provincial Armed Police Corps arrested a number of key members of the Huaxi Group and escorted them back to Jinshan for trial.
Naturally, there will be people who are secretly trying to prevent the case from being investigated deeply, and the layers of pressure are finally transmitted to Liang Weifa, after all, it is Liang Weifa who is pushing for a thorough investigation of the problem in Zhangzhou. Liang Weifa doesn't have to deliberately withstand this layer of pressure, there is another force that is pushing for a thorough investigation of the Zhangzhou case, and it is this force that makes other officials in the province keep silent on the Zhangzhou issue, lest they get into trouble.
The whole of May seems lackluster, if it were not for the anti-Chinese riots that took place in Indonesia on May 9.
On May 9, a political movement against the Suharto regime in Indonesia turned into serious anti-Chinese riots in Jakarta, the capital of India, four days earlier than it had happened, due to the covert involvement of the Indonesian military.
The anti-Chinese riots were not without warning in advance, and in March and April before that, there were a number of planned riots against the Chinese in Indonesia, and even earlier the intensive violent cases against the Chinese at the end of '97. In order to divert the incompetence of the Asian financial crisis, the Indonesian government has even repeatedly openly hinted that "the Indonesian Chinese have plundered the wealth of Indonesians in this financial crisis", trying to divert the public's attention to racial contradictions.
However, the violence before 9 May was relatively small and did not attract enough attention from the international community.
In a slight departure from previous histories, after a number of violent incidents against Chinese in Indonesia in March and April, there were secret funds to fund a number of international human rights groups and international media to conduct humanitarian investigations in Indonesia.
The only thing Zhang Ke could do was to spread the news of the atrocities in a timely manner after they occurred, and to put international pressure on the Indonesian government to stop the spread of the atrocities through international media disclosures.
The news of the riots on the 9th has spread throughout Jakarta, at this time Indonesian President Suharto attended the meeting in Egypt in a very timely manner, and the main generals of the Indonesian military happened to gather in East Java to attend a ceremony, and a number of observers and international media reporters sent to Jakarta by international human rights organizations were sensitive to the smell of danger.
From the afternoon to the late night of the 9th, there were many violent incidents against the Chinese in Jakarta one after another, and because they had not yet turned into major riots, even if there was news coming out of Jakarta, the international media gave cold treatment to these news due to the problem of news effect.
Güntner's timely online press release did not attract enough attention, and the response of the Chinese embassy in Indonesia was rather lukewarm. At this time, there was no violent tendency against the Chinese embassy in Indonesia, and the embassy's official response was that it should not interfere in Indonesia's internal affairs and would continue to pay attention to subsequent events.
Zhang Ke did not dare to arrange employees to stay in Indonesia during such a special period, in fact, before that, under the pretext of the Asian financial turmoil, Indonesia is the worst disaster area, and all the operations of AIDA Electronics in Indonesia were withdrawn. He couldn't even let reporters from Quantum's online news department go to Jakarta at this time, as it was extremely dangerous for anyone with a Chinese face to appear on the streets of Jakarta during the atrocities, let alone document them. Quantum's online news division shared its news sources in Indonesia with a private European news agency.
Nick Leessen not only does not have a good impression of Indonesia, but can even be said to be disgusted, he entered the financial industry in the first few years of the financial industry in Jakarta, Indonesia, and presumably did not make a good impression on him during that time. After Nick Leeson secretly took charge of the hedge fund for Zhang Ke, he has always been very interested in the rupiah, and even though the Asian currency market was relatively calm during this time, he did not give up his eyes on the fat of the rupiah. He and his team spend most of their time in Indonesia, except for Hong Kong. The Indonesian rupiah has plummeted, and spending in Indonesia with dollars is simply heaven, Nick Leeson even witnessed several atrocities against Chinese people in Indonesia after the year, and he also knows that anti-Chinese racial discrimination in Indonesian society is relatively common, but conniving at violent crimes against Chinese is a new trend that emerged after the Asian financial crisis.
It is only natural that Zhang Ke arranged funds through Nick Leessen to sponsor international human rights organizations and media to conduct humanitarian investigations in Indonesia.
On the night of the 9th, Nick Leessen stayed in a big hotel in the center of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, and he did not come specifically for the possible riots, he keenly felt that the Indonesian rupiah might be further defeated, and at the right time, he became Zhang Ke's direct eyes and ears in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Zhang Ke did not let other people around him participate, and the news gathered in all aspects showed that the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia would break out in the next two days, and he lived in a lakeside hut on the north shore of Yangui Lake in those days, and sent Zhai Danqing back to Xinwu to deal with the affairs of the electronics industry supporting park.
On the night of the 9th, when the riots were about to break out, Zhang Ke had a telephone conversation with Guo Songyan, who was in Malaysia: "The wind in Indonesia seems to be a little wrong, and even I heard the news of the riots in China filling the streets of Jakarta......
In March and April, violent crimes against Chinese people across Indonesia were too dense to attract the attention of international human rights organizations. But Guo Songyan did not know that most of the international human rights organizations and international media that went to Indonesia in March and April to conduct investigations were funded by Zhang Ke through secret overseas accounts. Guo Songyan had already received reports that the Indonesian government had a tendency to condone violent crimes against the Chinese, and Yunyuan Group had a large investment in Indonesia and had always paid close attention to Indonesia's movements, but he did not realize that a major crisis against the Chinese was brewing in Indonesia before May.
By the night of the 9th, Guo Songyan no longer suspected the possibility of a big riot, he had previously informed the Chinese employees of Yunyuan Group in Indonesia to pay attention to staying in the factory to protect themselves, and communicated with Zhang Ke on the phone across the ocean. The attitude of the Malaysian government towards the Chinese is not very friendly, the political status of the Chinese in Malaysia has never been high, and Singapore is completely a country established by overseas Chinese in Malacca. The Prophet's Singapore government is the best option right now.
The riots broke out suddenly on the morning of the 10th, as if the several violent incidents on the night of the 9th were just a few predicted raindrops before the storm.
Zhang Ke, who had been sitting in a lakeside cabin all night, saw the morning sun climb the branches of the lakeside oaks in the east, and was about to make himself a cup of coffee to fill his stomach when he received a call from Nick Leessen at the hotel.
Just ten minutes before the phone call, many Indonesians suddenly poured into a large shopping mall in front of the hotel where Nick Leeson was staying, robbed, beat up the Chinese clerks and customers in the store, and heard that they also openly raped Chinese women in the shopping mall, and finally set fire to the shopping center when they left.
In the past, Zhang Ke only saw the report of the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia in 98 a year later, and at that time he was already out of grief and indignation, but at this time, he had to experience the atrocities of Indonesia's anti-Chinese in this form, and the taste was even more uncomfortable! In order to make himself feel better, or to make some judgments calmly, Zhang Ke only listened to the verbal descriptions on the phone, and did not look at the news pictures that came back.
Riots erupted in Jakarta's main neighborhood almost simultaneously, and Jakarta was suddenly plunged into chaos. Since the riots had just taken place, there was not enough evidence to prove that it was a bloody atrocity against the Chinese, and CCTV even broadcast the riots in Indonesia on the midday news.
Until the afternoon of the 10th, a large number of timely news materials from Jakarta and other parts of Indonesia came out through Singapore, and it was confirmed that the Chinese in Indonesia were the main targets of this bloody riot.
Robbery of Chinese people and rape of Chinese women and other atrocities have occurred in every corner of Jakarta, from morning to afternoon there have been nearly 100 rioters rape or ** Chinese women tragedy occurred on the streets of Jakarta, almost all the more famous Chinese shopping malls in the business district of Jakarta were set on fire by rioters, and countless commercial buildings, houses, and shops were destroyed, the streets were full of burning buildings and cars, thick smoke was billowing everywhere, and there was no police and army in the entire Jakarta area. The police and the military are on the sidelines.
It was only then that some people suddenly realized the nature and severity of the riots in Indonesia.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ke received a call from Ma Xiangdong in Beijing, saying that Quantum Online had received a fax notice from the relevant departments requesting the deletion of all reports on the riots in Indonesia, and that the government had decided to take a cold look at the incident in China.
Zhang Ke knew the meaning of Ma Xiangdong's call, and he could only tell Ma Xiangdong in a calm and hurtful tone at this time: "The reports on domestic websites have been deleted, and the government has its own government considerations, which is not something we can speculate." ”
In the late 90s, China's military strategic layout in Myanmar and Thailand was still not completed, and the Strait of Malacca, as a necessary shipping route for China's overseas oil transportation, was controlled by Indonesia. The extremely moderate diplomatic attitude at home seems understandable, but the key is that the country's confidence is not strong enough, and in the process of China's rise, there are countless figures like Zhou Jinxi who have betrayed the country's interests for their own selfish interests.
Zhang Ke can only hope that a large amount of news materials can be disseminated from Indonesia in a timely manner, disclosed through the international media, and arouse the widespread attention of the international community, even if it is an hour in advance, a quarter of an hour in advance to stop the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia, all these efforts are worth it.
It's just a pity that Quantum's online overseas website has just been built, and it has little impact on the overseas Chinese community, Zhang Ke can especially deeply feel the power of the media network in the contemporary social system at this time, and what he can do now is still extremely limited, more is to watch Guo Songyan, Sun Shangyi and others contact overseas media to disclose the anti-Chinese atrocities that are breaking out in Indonesia, especially to let the overseas Chinese community unite at this time to stop the anti-Chinese atrocities that are breaking out in Indonesia.
After Quantum Online's domestic website deleted the report on Indonesia's anti-Chinese riots, Zhang Ke spent most of his time following the changes in the situation in Jakarta through the Singapore International Online's website, and of course, there were also phone calls from Nick Leessen or Guo Songyan in Malaysia, and the Chinese media in Malaysia also reported on the atrocities in Indonesia in a timely manner. It's just that the influence of Chinese media in Singapore and Mayasia is still limited.
At 2 p.m. on 10 July, the Singapore Government decided to open Zhangi International Airport 24 hours a day to receive overseas Chinese who had fled from Jakarta and other parts of Indonesia, but the United States, Japan, and others delayed until the night of 10 July, when they saw that the situation in Jakarta continued to deteriorate and could not be controlled.
The atrocities became more unscrupulous and bloody under the cover of night, and the real impact on the disclosure of Indonesia's anti-Chinese atrocities was the full-page publication of the New York Times on the morning of the 11th, and the New York Times report made the Indonesian anti-Chinese riots quickly spread around the world, and more international media sent reporters to Jakarta after seeing the New York Times report.
Until the early morning of the 12th, under the pressure of international public opinion, the police in Jakarta and other parts of Indonesia appeared on the streets as if they had just received a call. Even so, atrocities against Chinese people continue to be carried out in the corners of the streets of Jakarta and in remote areas of Indonesia.
The large-scale anti-Chinese riots lasted for 40 hours, which was nearly half the time shorter than the previous anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia, but there were still thousands of Indonesian Chinese in a nightmare and miserable situation.
It was only then that the Indonesian government suddenly remembered the need for a fig leaf to cover up their ugliness and began to restrict news outlets and the Internet, as if they would never understand why so much news material was being sent abroad in the first place.
There is probably no country that can arouse the hatred of Chinese people all over the world more than Indonesia, Zhang Ke thought so in his heart, and always thought so.
On the night of the 12th, the large-scale anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia have basically subsided, but the small-scale violent crimes against the Chinese have not been completely curbed, and with the influx of a large number of international media reporters and observers from international human rights organizations, the situation will be further controlled.
Zhang Ke walked out of the lakeside hut with a feeling of prostration, sitting on a bench under the oak tree by the lake, looking at the glittering lake water, thinking back to the Indonesian anti-Chinese riots that he had experienced in the past few days, although he could not talk about himself, his mouth only felt bitter.
Although the Indonesian anti-Chinese riots have aroused strong indignation in the overseas Chinese community, Quantum Online's mirror website in Hong Kong, Ming Pao and other Hong Kong media broadcast the entire Indonesian anti-Chinese riots, causing strong indignation among the Hong Kong people. On the afternoon of 11 July, the Indonesian Consulate in Hong Kong was surrounded by angry Hong Kong people to demonstrate, and the door of the consulate was also splashed with black paint, and countless eggs and bricks smashed the window panes of the consulate, and the Hong Kong police had to dispatch police forces to keep the angry people out of the cordon.
The mainland is unusually calm, as if the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia had never happened at all.
received Tang Jing's call, and the girl was still sobbing sadly on the phone. I'm sorry to let her see a real, extremely ugly world, Zhang Ke can only comfort her softly on the phone: "What we can do now is very limited, and our government's attitude will not always be so gentle." The nightmare will pass soon, and I will see you in Hong Kong tomorrow. ”
The spring of Jianye is very short, so short that people can hardly perceive the arrival of spring, in the cold and steep weather of spring, the temperature of Jianye will heat up sharply, even if you only wear a long-sleeved shirt at night in mid-May, you will not feel cold, because you have not officially slept once in these days, Zhang Ke's body is a little weak, and he feels a little cold in a sports shirt. Walking to Xuefu Lane, there is a supper stall at the mouth of the alley, providing hot and cold drinks and simple foods such as brown seeds, boiled corn, and spiced eggs, and the stall owner is a beautiful woman in her thirties, and there is a girl of six or seven years old who helps sell things, it seems to be a mother and daughter - I have not seen it before.
Zhang Ke didn't remember if he had eaten today, Fu Jun did his best to prepare food, but he was not in the mood to eat in the house, and he came out of his body very weak, so he thought about eating something, otherwise he couldn't do anything.
Zhang Ke asked for a brown and a cup of coffee, and the supper stall had coffee to provide, Zhang Ke still felt a little surprised, and the stall owner peeled off the reed leaves before taking the brown seeds and serving them to Zhang Ke. Filling his stomach with brown seeds and coffee, Zhang Ke felt that his body had a feeling of coming back.
"How much?" Zhang Ke asked the stall owner, and when he reached into his pocket, he realized that he didn't remember to take the wallet out at all.
"One yuan for brown and three yuan for coffee, a total of four yuan......" The stall owner was busy greeting others, and didn't notice Zhang Ke's embarrassment, but he still pulled her sleeve for the little girl to see Zhang Ke's appearance, and said with a smile, "I didn't bring any money with me, did I?" Don't worry, just remember to send it over when you want. ”
Zhang Ke coughed twice, thanked him, and left, coughing again after walking a short distance. It's not that he's embarrassed, but he's a little allergic to the sycamore flying in Jianye's spring. For a month from mid-April to the next month, Zhang Ke would cough for several days in a row, and the effect of drug treatment was very small, and it was not serious enough to require major surgery. Zhang Ke is very aware of his situation, and the medicine prescribed by the doctor will occasionally take one or two pills according to the situation, and most of the time he will choose to forget about taking medicine. In the eyes of Zhai Danqing, Sun Jingmeng and others, Zhang Ke seems to have a psychological allergy to medicine, and perhaps he has the stubbornness to avoid medicine.
There are four rows of tall French plane trees planted in the outer street of Xuefu Lane, and Zhang Ke naturally won't have a particularly good feeling when he walks here, and he doesn't want to pretend to be deep and wear a mask, which makes people misunderstand that it is a robbery.
Zhang Ke coughed and walked into the Internet café, looked at Shen Xiao in front of the comprehensive bar, and said to her, "Help me open a computer ......"
"Ah, you're going to surf the internet here?" Shen Xiao looked at Zhang Ke strangely.
"Oh, I don't know what's wrong, I'm too slow to connect to campus in my apartment...... I'm going to BBS," Zhang Ke said, pointing to the empty seats on the first floor, "I'll just sit there." ”
The server of Dongda BBS is set up in the Chuangyu Internet Café, and the server of Dongda BBS can be directly connected to the Internet café.
Shen Xiao took out the employee card and opened a computer for Zhang Ke, Zhang Ke sat down and took out a palm-sized flash drive, no one knew this thing, Zhang Ke also turned the chassis upside down and plugged the adapter cable into the interface at the back, waiting for the flash memory to install the driver, open the forum of the campus network of Dongda.
BBS was really quiet, CCTV and Quantum Online and other small media only published the news of the riots in Indonesia, and did not report that the riots were aimed at the Indonesian Chinese, and the mainstream media collectively lost their voices on the afternoon of the 10th, and the news from overseas has not yet reached China in time, and the ordinary people and students do not know what is happening. Log in to an account that I have registered a long time ago but have never used it, enter the text "5.9 The beginning and end of the Indonesian anti-Chinese riots" in the title column of the new post, and then post the news materials on the flash drive one by one in the form of replies to the BBS forum of Todai.
After the release, Zhang Ke turned off the computer, greeted Shen Xiao, and said, "I'll go back to sleep, Du Fei If they want to find me, they will say I'll go back to sleep." ”
Zhang Ke woke up the mobile phone ringtone in a dreamless sleep, opened his eyes, the sunlight came in through the glass window, and it was not too early to see the angle of the light, and he took out the mobile phone from under the pillow, it was a call from Du Fei, and said after connecting: "Didn't you say that I was sleeping?" ”
"It's all up outside, the school called early in the morning to ask Shi Xinfei to delete all the posts about the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia, and Shi Xinfei and they pushed back, Shen Jian, the director of the Student Work Office, and Gong Ruchun of the Youth League Committee all went to the Internet café in person, and asked Shi Xinfei to track down who originally uploaded the post......" Du Fei said on the phone, "What do you think?" ”
"Oh, I'll be over in a moment." Zhang Ke hung up the phone first and washed up before going downstairs.
I have never seen so many people in an Internet café on Tuesday morning, not at all, every computer is full of people, looking at the expressions of those students staring at the screen in front of the computer, it is no different from the previous life when I first saw the Indonesian Chinese exclusion incident, deeply shocked and angered by the cruel atrocity of racial discrimination in Indonesia. Zhang Ke stood in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling window of the Internet café and watched for a while, then went up the stairs from the outside to the third floor.
The campus BBS was originally set up by members of the Bug Club, and the school also decided to be managed by the Bug Club, and later established the Chuangyu Internet Café, which set up the BBS server in the Internet café, although the Bug Club was disbanded, but the Bug Sky Studio was re-established, and Shi Xinfei and they were still volunteered to manage the BBS of the University.
When I walked to the third floor, I heard a harsh-sounding voice roaring inside: "You guys are self-destructive, when are you so unorganized and undisciplined?" I want you to delete it, you have to delete it honestly, and whoever made the first post, you also have to give me the information of the person who posted it, and wait for the school to deal with it. ”
Zhang Ke pushed open the door with a gloomy face, Shen Jianzheng, director of the Office of Student Work, was standing in the center of the big office with an imposing roar, Gong Ruchun stood aside with a gloomy face and did not say a word, Du Fei, Meng Le, Shi Xinfei, Xi Ruolin, Ling Xiaoyan, and Qin Gang were all standing there, and it was difficult to decide.
Qin Gang said on the side: "There is no notice that it is forbidden to spread the news of the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia, can we just clean up some posts that are too intense in time, as for who posted the post, I don't think there is any need to pursue it......."
"Xiao Qin, you've been working as a student for so many years, and you don't have any vigilance at all, and you don't have any consciousness at all? Out of the basket, who will carry it? Do you still want the palace secretary to help you carry it? No matter what the notice says, Dongda can't make a mess, and this post must be deleted! Shen Jian said.
"I uploaded the post," Zhang Ke stood by the door, his gaze swept over everyone, and then stopped on Shen Jian's face, "My name is Zhang Ke, you must have heard my name......
"......" Shen Jian turned around, pressing Zhang Keling's momentum, and he couldn't say anything for a while.
"When I encounter something, I panic, lest the students know the truth and cause a big mess. The relevant departments asked the major media to be cold about the news of the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia, but did not ask for a ban on the dissemination of relevant information; The departments concerned demanded that the schools do a good job of stabilizing the students, but they did not require the ears and eyes of the students to be covered -- the so-called vigilance and consciousness of you people are just thinking about castrating all the college students of this generation, so that they will not cause you a little trouble like a herd of donkeys or hybrid mules! Zhang Ke stared at Shen Jian aggressively, and seeing that he was speechless, he turned his head sideways and said to Du Fei, "It's up to you whether the other posts want to be cleaned up, my posts are kept, whoever wants to be held accountable, let him come to me!" ”
Zhang Ke didn't look at Shen Jian's face, his own face was also iron-blue, his eyes swept coldly over the people in the office, turned around and walked out again.
"What kind of attitude is this! This student is a thorn in the life of the National Academy of Commerce, I'll go to Cui Guoheng later and see what he does? Shen Jian only remembered to get angry after Zhang Ke turned to leave, and looked at Gong Ruchun angrily, but he had to suppress his voice and said, "And this post, Secretary Gong, you are the instructor of the Creation Association and the campus network, how do you deal with it?" ”
"There's no basis, and it's not good to enforce the ban," Gong Ruchun said lightly, "Besides, deleting the post now is not necessarily conducive to the stability of the students, the big-character posters are posted on the poster wall, and we should report to Principal Li before making a decision." ”
Shen Jian regarded this matter as a major event that burned his eyebrows, and when he saw Gong Ruchun's slow appearance, he was anxious and couldn't lose his temper with Gong Ruchun, so he stopped talking, shook his hand and left.
Gong Ruchun instructed Qin Gang and said: "You should clean up some posts that are too radical in time, you had better arrange two or three people to be on duty, I think the school will hold a special meeting soon, even if the school does not hold a meeting, the Youth League Committee will also hold a meeting, you have to let me contact your people in time." ”
Although Gong Ruchun is not as soft as Shen Jian, it is still quite troublesome to control the students' emotions and march on the streets.
Zhang Ke walked into a porridge shop for breakfast, and before his buttocks were hot, Lu Wenfu's phone called.
Shen Jian called Cui Guoheng to complain, Zhang Ke stabbed the basket, Cui Guoheng could only tell Lu Wenfu about the matter first, which seemed to have become a habit.
"Quantum Online is highly consistent with the relevant central departments, and has carried out cold treatment of the news of the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia in a timely manner, without high-density follow-up reports; I'm just posting that post on the BBS of Tokyo University as a student, and if the University of Tokyo decides that it is not appropriate to post like that after research, I will actively cooperate with the deletion of the post. Zhang Ke put his mobile phone in his neck, sat on a plastic chair and peeled spiced eggs, and talked to Lu Wenfu on the phone, but there was a huge question in his heart: Why do so many people choose to live by self-castration? This huge psychological shadow hanging over the entire nation seems to be traced back to the Qing Dynasty's literary prison tradition.
Just as Gong Ruchun said, it is no longer a question of whether to delete posts or not, large-character paper has been quickly pasted in every corner of the campus, and news pictures of Indonesia's anti-Chinese riots have also been widely copied and circulated on campus. By noon, the students who had not been able to vent their grief and anger were about to march on the streets, and the principal, Li Hongming, personally blocked the school gate to dissuade the students.
Zhang Ke was already on the plane to Hong Kong at this time, and after getting off the plane, he talked to Du Fei on the phone and heard that in the end, he was still unable to march on the streets, and the school organized students from various faculties to hold protests in the large playground, which can be regarded as venting his emotions.
