It's not that clear cut as before. Since Sby time, i know several Chinese that already involved either directly or indirectly in politic. Either as participant (caleg) in local election or in the last president election, become witness for Jokowi side in their TPS.
Imo only the older generation who directly experience the PKI purge era still afraid of anything that have connection with politic.
Well, my generation from new order era..
And I learned a lot from 98...
