The Chinese problem in Southeast Asia has a long history and is quite common, and Indonesia, with 6 million Chinese people, is the country with the most serious Chinese problem. Since 1740, the Chinese have suffered massacres, and for more than 100 years, this nightmare has still haunted the hearts of the Chinese in Indonesia, and whether they can get rid of the nightmare is still unknown.

The history of Chinese immigration to Indonesia can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, but the so-called Chinese problem did not arise until the invasion of Western colonizers in the 16th century. Prior to this, the aborigines and the Chinese got along well. There has never been an anti-Chinese movement. The reason for this is that although the Chinese at that time belonged to China emotionally, their economic status in Indonesia was not enough to arouse the scruples of the indigenous people. In addition, in Chinese history, the feudal dynasties (until the late Qing Dynasty) did not have a policy of overseas Chinese, or even adopted a hostile attitude towards overseas Chinese.

The issue of the Chinese in Indonesia arose after the promulgation of the nationality law based on the principle of "descentism" of the late Qing regime, which changed the policy towards overseas Chinese from laissez-faire and hostility to protection. Since then, Sino-Indian relations can be divided into the following historical periods: the late Qing government and the Republic of China government have different stages in different periods.

Since the founding of the Ming and Qing dynasties during the late Qing Dynasty government, in order to prevent pirates and pirates, the "sea ban" policy has been implemented, restricting Chinese people from going abroad to make a living. The government has long been indifferent and even hostile to its subjects abroad. It was not until 1860 that the Qing government signed the "Treaty of Beijing" with Britain and France, and was forced to allow Chinese workers to work abroad, that the ban was broken.

The inhumane treatment of Chinese laborers who were taken to various parts of the world, and the foreign disputes and social unrest caused by the abduction and trafficking of people abroad damaged the face of the Qing court and its rule. In addition, the diplomats sent by the late Qing government had contact with the overseas Chinese, and they were deeply impressed by the wealth of the overseas Chinese, and believed that they could be used for China's modernization. Based on this, the Qing court gradually changed its attitude of indifference and hostility to Chinese workers. In 1893, under the impetus of Western-style officials, the "sea ban" was officially abolished, and since then, many policies related to overseas Chinese have been formulated, affirming the attitude of protecting overseas Chinese. The most important of these is the Nationality Law, promulgated in 1909 based on the principle of "descent", which stipulates that all persons of Chinese race, regardless of whether they were born in China or not, belong to Chinese nationality. Indonesia's colonial government, on the other hand, determined nationality based on the principle of place of origin, which allowed many Chinese to have dual citizenship. Such an identity made the aborigines doubt the loyalty of the Chinese to Indonesia in the future, and laid the root of the future anti-Chinese and **.

During this period, due to the loosening of policies, the Indonesian Chinese had a strong sense of belonging to their ancestral homeland. In addition, the Chinese were excluded from politics in Indonesia and oppressed by the colonial rulers. At this time, China was also invaded by foreign powers. All this has led the Chinese Indonesians to link themselves to the future and destiny of their ancestral country. In this context, the Indonesian Chinese actively supported the Westernization Movement and the overthrow of the Manchu Revolution.

During this period, how did the warming of relations between Indonesian Chinese and their ancestral countries affect their situation in Indonesia? Indonesia was then under the rule of the Dutch colonizers, who pursued a "divide and rule" policy towards the Chinese and the indigenous people, placing the Chinese in the second estate between the first-class Westerners and the third-class aborigines. The use of the Chinese as an instrument of colonial rule created a great divide between the Chinese and the indigenous peoples, who were seen as "agents of the colonial exploitation system". During this period, most of the anti-Chinese incidents occurred under the leadership of the colonizers. Therefore, later generations only see the reasons for the "divide and rule" colonial policy. In fact, the relationship between the Chinese and their ancestral country at this time was also the reason why the aborigines were full of distrust and even hatred towards the Chinese. Because at that time, the status of the Chinese was higher than that of the aborigines, and they were trying to get closer to the Westerners in the first class, and they were alienated from the aborigines of their own low status.

Nowadays, with the establishment of the Chinese Empire, a series of laws have been promulgated, which more clearly point out that the Chinese in the world are one family. As long as you are on the side of morality, the Chinese Empire has the ability and responsibility to protect your rights and interests, as well as the safety of life and property. At the same time, I also hope that overseas Chinese can communicate more with China, and blood is thicker than water.

Chen Shao issued this order to warn countries around the world to treat the Chinese well, but Chen Shao did not consider one ethnic group. Indonesians are already quite disgusted with the Chinese, and the Chinese are generally wealthy. On the one hand, there is a hard-working Chinese community, and on the other hand, there are lazy and greedy Indonesians, and the main representatives of Indonesians are Javanese.

In order to better manage Indonesia, the Netherlands deliberately divided the two ethnic groups under the policy of the establishment of the Chinese Empire, the Chinese in Indonesia became more and more united, and the strong declaration of the empire also made the Indonesian Chinese more and more concerned about the motherland. This incident also further provoked the contradictions between the two races.

Jakarta's Chinese Quarter, which is considered the wealthiest administrative center in Jakarta. In the center is the Dutch Governor's Palace, where a regiment of Dutch soldiers is stationed, and there is a division on the outskirts of Jakarta. As for the Indonesians, they all live on the periphery, they simply don't have the money to live here, and laziness and greed can only make them come and hang out occasionally. When many people see Chinese shops, the kind of greed in their eyes can be seen even by fools.

As the Chinese New Year approached, many Chinese in Jakarta gathered in the open field at night. They pulled their families, carried chairs and stools, and sat around a large white screen.

"Fellow Indonesian Chinese, today we have brought you a unique movie, please savor it. However, please be careful to keep quiet, watch your children, and try not to stand up for your friends who are sitting in the middle. A middle-aged man stood in front of the screen and shouted in Mandarin.

The otherwise noisy venue gradually quieted down, and the children who were running and frolicking in the crowd were also pulled by their parents.

After the middle-aged man saw that the scene had calmed down and signaled that the movie could start, the middle-aged man walked away from the screen.

The movie is very shocking from the beginning, with heavy artillery splitting the ground, tanks charging, planes raging, ship guns mighty, and soldiers fighting bravely. At the beginning of the film, the scenes filmed in the war against Japan and the war between Britain and France were taken out at one time. The loudspeaker next to it made all sorts of noises in sync, the sound of cannons, explosions, the sound of tank engines, gunfire, the roar of soldiers as they charged. Let everyone feel like they're there, when they've seen this kind of scene. These war scenes are real battles, they are completely documentary films, and they rely on actors to shoot them, and they have no such effect at all.

The Dutch governor in Indonesia, Dekede, was startled by such a voice, and thought that there was an army attacking Jakarta, and his heart suddenly tensed. Then, through the window, I saw a movie being shown in the open space outside the Governor's Palace, from which the sound of cannons and gunfire had just come from. He had received an application before, China wanted to show a movie here, and Decker readily agreed, there was no need to anger the Chinese Empire, which was in the limelight, for this kind of thing. It's just that he didn't expect it, it was just an ordinary movie, and he didn't expect this kind of picture in the movie at all.

It's too late for Deckerd to stop it now, not to mention that he doesn't have the idea of stopping it at this time. The Netherlands has fallen, and now even warships need to be purchased from China, and what can they do to stop it. On one side is the down-and-out old empire, and on the other side is the militarily powerful nascent empire, and Dirk De doesn't need to think about it to know it. What will be the consequences of the Netherlands messing with China alone, Southeast Asia is too close to China. The coachman of the sea is no longer in his former glory.

As Derk stood at the window watching the movie, the door to the governor's office was pushed open, and a man in his early thirties in a Dutch military uniform strode in.

"Don't you see what those damn Chinese are putting in there? You should immediately order someone to stop it, because if it continues like this, it will shake our dominance here. "The man who came was Hendris, the brother of Hendrick, Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, the husband of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. In the words of later generations, it was a second ancestor, at this time Hendlis was the highest commander of the Dutch garrison in Indonesia. He is also a nobleman, and he came here to gild, and when it comes to military affairs, it can be said that he knows nothing.

Hendreis usually looks down on the Chinese, especially the rise of China, which makes him often worry that the Chinese in Indonesia will rebel. has always supported Indonesians and Chinese to work against each other, and has created a lot of contradictions between the two races in the past. For Derk, Hendries basically doesn't pay attention to it, although he has the title of a governor, but compared to Hendris's identity backstage, it can't be compared at all. Even the title is one level worse than Hendrys. Moreover, the military power of the Indonesian garrison is in the hands of Hendries, so there is no respect for Dekede and Hendlis.

"Count Hendris, you must remember that the current Chinese Empire has defeated Japan, but it has defeated the European powers Britain and France, and you suggest that you better stop those small actions, so as not to attract the retaliation of China. You have to know that this place is very close to their South China Sea, and the Chinese fleet will only need a day to arrive, and what will you use to resist when the time comes. Decker didn't care about Hendrith's tone, but directly brought up the essence of the matter.

"Humph! Cowardly and afraid, what qualifications do you have to be the governor, besides, even if you really do it, it is also an Indonesian business, and it has nothing to do with us. If he can't come up with evidence, he will be angry and go to the Indonesians. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you die more, fewer people will help us rule. Hendreis first glanced at Derk with contempt, and then said with a look of fearlessness.

"Idiot!" These two words were not uttered, and there was only endless sadness in his heart. All he wants now is that something doesn't happen. It's just that when I saw Hendrys with a cold face beside him, the bad premonition in my heart became stronger.
