Chapter 303: The Problem of Overseas Chinese in Indonesia
After the inaugural meeting of the Singapore Special Administrative Region, Wang Xiaoyi, on behalf of China's political axe, held talks with Sukarno, the leader of the Indonesian reading movement and the first president of Indonesia, who came to attend the inaugural meeting of the Singapore Special Administrative Region of China, on issues of mutual concern to both sides.
Indonesia, located in the southeast of Asia, across the equator, is located between 10 degrees north latitude and 10 degrees south latitude, more than 70% of its territory is located in the southern hemisphere, so it is the only southern hemisphere country in Asia. With a length of more than 5,500 kilometers from east to west, it is strategically important, and it is the largest country in Asia outside of China, with a total population of 82 million. It is a large country in terms of territory and population.
After the end of World War II, Soekarno led the Indonesian people against the re-acceptance of Indonesia by the Dutch colonizers, and finally in 1949 Indonesia officially seceded from the Netherlands and became a state of read. As a result, Sukarno became the first president of Indonesia and was revered by Indonesians as the father of the nation and a national hero. Indonesia, led by Sukarno, has great respect for the socialist China led by Mao Zd, and the relationship between China and Indonesia is also an iron buddy, which is better than the relationship between China and Pakistan in later generations. Indonesia can be said to be China's bridgehead in Southeast Asia, and the Indonesian [***] and leftist Chinese forces are gradually rising. China is in love in Indonesia. However, there is already a huge contradiction between China and Indonesia due to the Indonesian political axe and the non-governmental treatment of overseas Chinese in Indonesia.
Since the arrival of the "base" has completely changed the international status of New China and China's strategic situation, there is absolutely no need for China's anti-Chinese behavior towards Indonesia to be compromised as it was in history.
In order to cover up the border war launched against the Soviet Union, before the war began, in order to divert the attention of the Soviet Union, the Far East Special Commissar began to swell the nationalism of the local indigenous people in Indonesia according to the Indonesian reading power, and the ultra-nationalist elements in Indonesia took advantage of the differences between the local indigenous people and the overseas Chinese to incite anti-Chinese sentiments. In order to curb this [***] momentum in Indonesia, the Far East Special Working Committee headed by Deng Feng once formulated a "plan of action for protecting overseas Chinese" for the partial occupation of Indonesia. This action plan was conveyed to officers at and above the rank of major general in the four general departments of the People's Liberation Army. Of course, a large part of it was made for the Soviet spy Liu Liankun to see. However, the "Action Plan for Protecting Overseas Chinese" does exist, and there is also a strong name to be used as a surname, and Wang Xiaoyi is very sure of this plan.
When the two sides met, in front of reporters, they both said some things that must be said in the official arena and were not nutritious; Wang Xiaoyi enthusiastically pulled Sukarno's hand, who was wearing the dress of the supreme commander of the three Indonesian armed forces, wearing a black national top hat, and a smile on his face, and said: "Warmly welcome President Sukarno, a good friend of the Chinese people, to come to the Singapore SAR to attend the inaugural meeting of the political axe of the Singapore Special Administrative Region of our country. Under your wise leadership, the great people of Indonesia are waging a courageous struggle to preserve national unity, to further eradicate the remnants of colonization and righteousness and to safeguard world peace. Your struggle to abolish the Round Table Agreement and to demand the recovery of West Irian is just, and the Chinese people firmly support you. β
Sukarno also said enthusiastically: "I bring the fraternal friendship and blessings of the 82 million Indonesian people to the Chinese people, wish you great victories in the socialist revolution and socialist construction, and the Indonesian people and I have high respect for the Chinese people and the great President Mao ZD." The Indonesian people regard every victory won by the Chinese people as their own victory."
After the two sides finished these polite empty words, the reporter withdrew and moved on to the official topic to be discussed.
Wang Xiaoyi looked at Sukarno, a 59-year-old man who was born in an indigenous aristocratic family in Surabaya, sitting on the sofa with a smile on his face, and said: "Dear Mr. President, since you took office, you have always advocated the implementation of an anti-imperialist and anti-colonial foreign policy, opposing imperialist interference, promoting the unity and cooperation of the Asian and African peoples, and expressing your desire to implement socialism in Indonesia. However, I am entrusted by the Central People's Political Axe to have a frank exchange of views with you on behalf of China's political axe. In late 1956, you formulated the policies of "cooking under the guidance of the political axe" and "economic under the guidance of the political axe", which were originally the internal affairs of Indonesia, and we have no right to interfere in them, and we should not make irresponsible comments about them. However, the vital interests of our more than 2 million overseas Chinese in Indonesia are involved here, and this cannot but arouse our strong concern. β
Regarding Wang Xiaoyi's statement, Sukarno immediately gave a resolute refutation: "In order to revitalize the national economy, we in Indonesia have indeed formulated some policies to restrict the industrial and commercial activities of foreign nationals, including overseas Chinese, in the form of legislation, in order to eliminate the remnants of the colony in Indonesia. Aren't you in China [***] restricting the development of the bourgeoisie? Didn't it also freeze and confiscate some foreign capital in China? What we do is far from what you do. We have only imposed restrictions on the business activities of the diaspora in some respects. It is true that some of them are Chinese, but at the same time they are bourgeoisie, and this is also an indisputable fact. β
Regarding Sukarno's strong rhetoric and avoiding the essence of Chinese exclusion, Wang Xiaoyi said: "The history of Chinese in Indonesia has been thousands of years. Before the invasion of Western colonizers, the Chinese and the indigenous people had always lived in harmony and made important contributions to the prosperity of the local economy. After the Dutch colonial rule, a large number of Chinese went to Indonesia to make a living or were taken captive to work as laborers, and they fully participated in the transition of the Indonesian economy from a natural economy to a market economy. and played an important role. In the 20th century, there were two national awakening and dual-track national movements in Indonesia, the Chinese and the aborigines, and in the process of the struggle for national literacy, the two gradually converged and jointly opposed the Dutch colonial rule. Regarding the special historical status and role of the Chinese in Indonesia and their contributions, you Indonesian political axes should have an objective and fair positioning and evaluation. However, after the Indonesian reading power, the aboriginal Ming Boilingyi ideology among the aborigines rose to the head, and there was a large-scale anti-Chinese mentality, in a vain attempt to eliminate all special surnames of the Chinese in order to achieve complete aborigines. This is by no means as simple as you said in order to remove the remnants of the Ming Ming Yi in Indonesia and restrict the development of the bourgeoisie. β
This is the case with everything in the world, and everything will have different opinions depending on the position of the person looking at the problem.
Then Wang Xiaoyi pointed out very seriously: "Any responsible country has the obligation to protect its nationals stationed abroad, help its nationals who have been harmed, and make representations to the authorities of the host country. Chinese overseas Chinese in Indonesia should enjoy 'national treatment', and all their legitimate rights and interests must be protected. With regard to serious incidents that seriously infringe on the personal freedom and safety of Chinese overseas Chinese in Indonesia and wantonly trample on their human rights, we, the Chinese political axe and the Chinese People's Liberation Army, will never ignore or ignore them.
Sukarno silently listened to Wang Xiaoyi's speech. He knew that behind the calm words of this Chinese person was indeed a very tough thunderous method. Moreover, for the sake of national interests, China completely disregards the unanimous surname in the ideological field. He secretly thought to himself in his heart: Fortunately, there has not yet been a serious incident in Indonesia that seriously violates the personal freedom and safety of Chinese overseas Chinese in Indonesia and wantonly tramples on the human rights of Chinese, otherwise it will be a big trouble. However, like the Jews in Germany in the early 30s, these overseas Chinese almost monopolized the economic lifeline of Indonesia, because these overseas Chinese have a tradition of doing business, and their economic strength is quite strong, and there are rich Chinese in the import and export trade, processing and manufacturing, and retail industries, and the number of the Chinese middle class is also very large, which cannot but arouse the red eyes of those indigenous people who have nothing. Public opinion that discriminates against and excludes the Chinese economy began in March 1956 with the "Assaat Movement", which has a strong racist surname. Because the local religious belief in Indonesia is monotheistic, which is different from the Chinese belief in Bodhisattva, Guan Gong, Mazu and other more diverse beliefs, these Indonesian extremist elements began to use religious heresy to incite Chinese exclusion. In order to cater to this part of the population, he introduced a series of measures to exclude the Chinese economy. Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there has been a tradition of massacre of Chinese in Southeast Asia, and there has never been any punishment. Is China going to be serious this time? So Sukarno smiled and explained to Wang Xiaoyi: "Director Wang, you China may have some misunderstanding of our policy, last year, in order to eliminate the polarization between the rich and the poor in Indonesia, we depreciated the large denomination banknotes with a face value of 500 dong and 1000 dong to 50 dong and 100 dong, so that the holders of the large denomination banknotes lost 90% of the currency value, we just want to eliminate the rich class through this method, but this is definitely not for the Chinese, but all the rich class; In August last year, we lowered the exchange rate of Indonesia and categorically froze large deposits, stipulating that all bank deposits with more than Rp 25,000 would be frozen by 90% of the excess amount, as a fund for the issuance of Rp 20 billion bonds by the political axe, which may have caused some losses to the overseas Chinese economy, but this is definitely not for the Chinese, but also for all the rich classes. The country needs money to develop, but we don't have money, what do you say, that's the only way. β
Wang Xiaoyi looked at the clever Sukarno and said, "Mr. President, how do you explain your Presidential Decree No. 10?" β
Sukarno pondered for a while and said: "I issued Presidential Decree No. 10 last year, which banned overseas Chinese from doing business in Indonesia below the county level from January 1, 1960. That's because some overseas Chinese businessmen have joined forces to hoard goods at any cost without regard to the interests of the Indonesian people, which will inevitably cause difficulties in the ordinary life of the Indonesian people. In order to prevent this from continuing to develop, the Indonesian political axe was forced to take this necessary measure for the benefit of the people at large. However, I did not expect that there were some deviations in the implementation of this Presidential Decree No. 10, and the local military regimes in some areas interpreted that overseas Chinese were not allowed to live in areas below the county level. As a result, some overseas Chinese have lost their livelihoods, and some overseas Chinese have been left homeless, which is an extremely painful thing. However, you can rest assured that after I return home, I will severely punish those responsible for seriously affecting the political axe of our two countries and the friendly relations between the two peoples. At the same time, he also asked the Chinese political axe to convey to these Chinese businessmen who are only interested in profit that they must not see profit and forget their righteousness and affect the hard-won friendly relations between the two countries. β
Yu Xiaoyi's explanation of Sukarno can be understood, and he also knows that there are indeed many rich and inhumane merchants among the Chinese, and look at the various "money" who abducted and abducted the shamelessness to the end in later generations, and you can see how ugly and bad these people are. But after all, these people are not all the Chinese, and Indonesia should not turn the crackdown on the annihilation of merchants into a restriction on the entire Chinese diaspora in Indonesia.
He looked at Indonesian President Sukarno, who was a little helpless, and said: "Mr. President, there may be some personal improper business practices of overseas Chinese businessmen you mentioned here, but this does not mean that all overseas Chinese businessmen are like this, let alone all overseas Chinese in Indonesia. It is understandable for you to crack down on these businessmen, but your Presidential Decree No. 10 has objectively caused 50 overseas Chinese to lose their livelihoods and 100,000 overseas Chinese to be homeless. You and your political axe should know that this kind of problem that is most likely to arouse national feelings is not a trivial problem if it cannot be solved well. β
Wang smiled and said, "Mr. President, do you know? Some of our people's congress deputies have questioned our political axe and army. It was our political axe and army that withstood tremendous pressure and proceeded from the overall situation of friendship between the Chinese and Indian peoples that did not take further countermeasures. I didn't mean to threaten you in the slightest, just to inform you in advance. If such an incident happens again, I am afraid that we will not be able to refrain from taking action. You know, once the army is used, it's hard to say what the result will be. Don't say that we didn't greet you in advance, what to do after you go back, think about it yourself, think about it. β
Wang Xiaoyi said that this is by no means a threat to Sukarno, and it can be said that Indonesia, which is similar to India and has been ruled by the small Netherlands for more than 350 years since the 16th century, and is known as the Dutch East Indies, can be said to be vulnerable. Wang Xiaoyi also has no good impression of the Indonesian "father of the nation" Sukarno in front of him, he thinks that the first president of Indonesia, except for the little brother below, has no great ability. Thinking about future generations, on September 30, 1965, Indonesia was said to have "nine. The "30" incident completely changed the political landscape of Asia and the world. China could have had a firm ally in Southeast Asia, and Indonesia is a large country in terms of population and resources, and its geographical location is extremely important, and China's oil passage is near its waters, but unfortunately it was buried by Sukarno, the amorous and lustful Indonesian president. At that time, Sukarno married three wives, but every time he visited a country, he often did not forget to look for flowers and willows, and sometimes even asked the host country to find a local beauty to meet. According to Islamic law, there can be one dragon and four phoenixes. Sukarno made full use of this policy to satisfy his pursuit of beauty, and at the same time hugged four beauties.
Flies don't bite eggs, Sukarno's lust gave the CIA an opportunity, and the CIA learned of the situation and acted immediately. Eventually, they found the person they wanted, and that was Shichihoko Nemoto, who later changed her name to Devi Sukarno. At that time, she was only nineteen years old, and she received special training from the CIA to teach eighteen kinds of martial arts, the most important of which was, of course, a unique job in bed.
Under the careful arrangement of the CIA, Shichihoko Nemoto changed from a hotel waitress dressed as Sukarno's fourth wife, renamed Devi Sukarno. Since Sukarno married the American spy's fundamental seven sons, he has lingered in bed every day, and the father of a generation of heroes Indonesia has since become the crotch slave of the female CIA spy, and has begun to neglect the government and politics, and he is also careless and careless to the enemies around him. By September 30, 1965, Suharto, his political opponent, with the assistance of the CIA, shot all the senior generals loyal to Sukarno with lightning speed, and then put Sukarno under house arrest, and announced that he had smashed a coup d'Γ©tat launched by Indonesia [***] and leftist Chinese, and the mastermind behind the coup was China. With the trick of a thief shouting to catch a thief, he blamed China for the crime of the coup d'Γ©tat and the Chinese in Indonesia, and launched a large-scale [***] anti-Chinese to divert the attention of the domestic people and the world. After the September 30 incident in Indonesia, China completely lost this potential ally, and increased Suharto, the sworn enemy of the sinister fascist military regime. China's national strength at that time was not good, if there was a powerful ocean-going navy and air force to turn Singapore into a strategic point of China as it is now, the Indonesian Army would not dare to slaughter Indonesians and overseas Chinese so cruelly, alas since 1965, the bitter days of the Indonesian Chinese began, and it continued until 1998, when the large-scale anti-Chinese movement broke out again for more than 30 years, miserable!
Wang Xiaoyi really wants to destroy this group of turtle bastards in Indonesia right now. But now is not the time for emotion. The most important thing is to prevent an incident like Indonesia's 9/30 from happening, to control Indonesia, and to seek the maximum benefit for China at the lowest cost.
