You need to bring fact for those. It is true though that Chinese Indonesian have many big business and with small population they have, it is a good achievement. But there are many big businesses as well who are own by native entrepreneurs. The composition IMO is 60:40 now as it was 70:30 in 1998. It is based on companies listed in stock exchange minus state owned and foreign companies and the number calculated from the total asset. The increase of Native businesses asset that I think is happening is due to most Chinese Indonesian banks are already collapse during Asian Financial Crisis and our banks are dominated by state owned banks now, there is one Chinese Indonesian bank (BCA) but the rest banks are already foreign ones.
I dont disregard Chinese Indonesian accomplishment in business and they are doing good for our nation, but we need to bring more just view over who control Indonesian economy.
Here is the fact:
1. Indonesian native conglomerate and big business are also quite significant
2. Indonesian state owned are very big and its revenue alone is 1/5 of Indonesian GDP.

3. Micro/Small/and medium size business in Indonesia contributes 60 % of the economy based on recent government data. Most of them are native. Native looks more content on their live and if they have business tend not to grow to big and build conglomeration. Islam and Javanese culture look like has relation with it IMO.
Here is what is written:
In her speech Indrawati stated that Indonesia's micro, small and medium sized enterprises are the backbone of the Indonesian economy. These enterprises account for 99 percent of the total amount of enterprises that are operating in Indonesia and they create a total of 107.6 million jobs in Southeast Asia's largest economy. Moreover, Indonesia's micro, small and medium-sized companies contribute 60.6 percent to Indonesia's gross domestic product (GDP).

I will give an example. I have worked in 5 private companies before I make my own business and all of them are small and medium size company, none of them are Chinese Indonesian owned business, although I am not so sure with the last one since I only work for 1 month there. To be precise, the first one is a foreign own company, the second is owned by 3 native Indonesian (2 Javanese, 1 Sumatran), the third is own by Native Indonesian (Melayu ethnic), the fourth is Native Indonesian, the fifth is not sure.
I have 2 older brothers, 1 older sister, and 1 younger sister. My older brother work as a doctor (surgeon) and also my younger sister (cardiologist), and both of them work in the same government hospital since they are graduated from medical faculty.
Second older brother work as electronic engineer and from his long work history he never work in Chinese Indonesian companies, always in Multinational companies (Lucent/Erricson/Siemens, etc) and right now he is working in a small and medium size company which is a consultant company for telecommunication network, his boss is native Indonesian.
My older sister only have experience working in one company (small and medium size), law firm, and her boss is Chinese Indonesian. She is still working there.
Even if I continue the example, it ends up that the wife of my older brother is a business woman in property business, my younger sister husband is a civil servant.
4. Foreign and Multinational companies contribution are also huge. For comparison, our Foreign Direct Investment and Domestic Direct Investment number is pretty similar.
@Nike is working in multinational company for example, owned by American.
