My Father Friend, have his home Burned and had to flee through the roofs of Houses :frown:
The rioters burn his home cause their are Indonesian Born Chinese, and he is still don't know, why the rioters Know, he is an IBC.
But Right know, he and his family lived in Australia and Never want to back to Indonesia. Maybe, Trauma? o_O
do you still think What happen In Indonesia on May 1998 to indonesian Born Chinese is not Real?
do you still think , We are Indonesian Born Chinese just afraid for Nothing?

If you still think like that.
so, I think This discussion is Useless. :hitwall:

Sorry bro...if I hurt your feeling....I also have Chinese ethnic Friends also....still being friends until Today...and one of them wants me to join her businesses as well. I never discriminate Chinese since I was kids. We are all Indonesians... Indonesians should feel united, regardless their origin.

I never doubt the riots...There were Anti-Chinese sentiments also of course by some people who are considered by us as gang member (Preman)..trying to satisfy their sick mentality.... but they are burning buildings...not killing and raping as some one here accused...so its so big different between those two, my friend. I bet you have heart that 100 native Indonesian died because of get trapped in a firing building. I was there on the street, trying to calm the situation. Some rioters I saw mostly kids...trying to trow many rocks to any building..just like playing field for them.....junior high students who knows nothing.

I hope that those people who wants to harm any people can disappear...They are bad people...we call them "Preman (criminals etc) "...I hope the police make hard action to them. All Indonesian are united now to fight against corruption, corrupted politicians and "Preman" type of guys.

Those criminals that did it should be separated from Us....Normal People living in Indonesia. :-)

Have to say, I always associate 1998 massacre on Chinese with Indonesia, I don't want deceive myself, It is said that about 10 thousand chinese was victim of the atrocity, I don't know whether the number is right? but the massacre must exist.

Even now, reading the report that China export weapon to indonesia make feel bad, even in the Indonesia Megatsunami in 2004, I also protest China government donate about 60 million dollars to them, all because of 1998 massacre, although many of these chinese don't have Chinese Nationality, but they are Chinese, I also had seen some pictures that victim in that massacre, My feeling is the same with that while seems the picture of victime in Nanjing Massacre, till now, I still don't like indonesia.

If the Massacre is not caused by indonesian other enthic, not supported by your government, and you government do something in protecting Chinese, I don't believe there would be such huge victims, Indonesia must be responsible for the massacre, even if partly.

China government do too little to help ethnic Chinese in such kind of massacre on Chinese, Chinese are smart, always be rich in other place, also always be envied, if such massacre happened again, help China government can do more, even war with that country, I support it!

As to 1998 massacre, if indonesia are really responsible for it, you owe us a sorry, introspect it, and don't let it happened again, being forgave is not hard, if it is not your fault, show it!
Let it go... I know how you feel and I understand your position. Indonesia made a mistake at a time when the country is chaotic and the local masses were poor meanwhile the Chinese Indonesians were well off. Jealousy is bound to happen. But the event is exaggerated. I believe the massacre did occur and that certain group take advantage of the chaotic event to target Chinese Indonesian but the number of death is about 4-digits at most and was isolated to region. What important is that the Indonesian people and their government recognize the mistake, give proper apology, and feel genuine remorse which they did. Chinese new year is declared as Indonesia national holiday and no discrimination in economics or politics. And let not act like we have close kinship. They are a distant kinsman. They chose their path and were wrong. Now we and Indonesia have the opportunity to build on a new friendship base on "mutual respect and friendly neighborhood".

Indonesia Looks to an ‘Asian Century’ With China

Jakarta. The Indonesian-Chinese Friendship Association, or PPIT, has officially inaugurated its new 2014-2016 board of supervisors, trustees and advisory council, as it seeks to continue improving the bilateral relations between the two countries in the social, economic and cultural sectors.

PPIT chairman Bondan Gunawan, who served as the Indonesian state secretary in 2000, said on Saturday that Indonesia and China had “countless commonalities” and the need to enhance strategic cooperation should be targeted “not only by strengthening the bilateral relationship, but also increasing the compactness through education, art and culture, sports and humanitarian collaboration.”

“With the appointment of new PPIT board members, coming from various backgrounds and walks of life, we would like to show that Indonesian-Chinese have a strong feeling for Indonesia and a spirit to nurture better relations and cooperation between the two countries,” he told the Jakarta Globe.

“They also have the competence as well as alacrity to mingle with other Indonesians to build a better and greater nation in the future.”

Bondan said several programs were planned by the association, including a film festival in Beijing, and Indonesian-Chinese student exchange program, and the joint production of traditional Chinese medicine.

Sinta Nuriyah, the widow of the late former president Abdurrahman “Gus Dur” Wahid — who ended a decades-long restriction on the practice of Chinese traditions and observations of Chinese holidays imposed by the strongman Suharto — also attended the inauguration and delivered a short remark stating her full support for the association.

Xiao Yiwu, the counselor for cultural affairs at the Chinese Embassy in Jakarta, underscored the importance of sustainable comprehensive strategic partnerships.

“President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono once said that both countries must continuously boost more partnerships in economics, politics, trade and culture as well as increasing people-to-people communication,” he said.

Last year, bilateral trade between the two countries amounted to $52.45 billion, with the value expected to top $ 80 billion by 2015. Direct investment by China in Indonesia amounted to $292.1 billion last year, a dramatic increase from $141 billion the previous year.

Esti Andayani, the Foreign Ministry’s director general for information and public diplomacy, pledged support for the PPIT’s programs.

“We’ve entered what we call the ‘Asian Century,’ in which all countries in Asia, including Indonesia and China, play a pivotal role at the regional and global levels,” Esti said. “And with both countries’ sharing the same vision and perception on, for example, climate change, food security, energy and global financial institution reformation, we’ve come to agree to increase cooperation and coordination, while upholding the commitment to peace, stability and prosperity for the region and on the international stage.”

Not to mention that during that chaotic time not only Indonesian-Chinese were suffer. Indonesians from many ethnics also had similar misery. Ambonese Moslem and Christians, Madurans in sampit were slaughtered by by dayak, malay and supported by few Indonesian CHINESE and many other riots. It was our bad time, and now we want to move on.

Indonesian defense minister meets with senior Chinese military official
(Xinhua) 07:42, July 25, 2014


indonesia-tidak-mau-terseret-konflik-laut-china-RlY.jpg

JAKARTA, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Indonesian Defense Minister Purnomo Yugisantoro met here with Chinese general Fan Changlong on Thursday, according to media report.

The two sides had reportedly an in-depth exchange of views on bilateral relations and other issues of common concern.

Purnomo said the military relations between Indonesia and China has maintained a good momentum of growth in recent year and the two armies have witnessed a expanding pragmatic cooperation.

"Indonesia and China have no conflict of interest and share broad common interest in Asia region," Purnomo said.

Purnomo added that the two sides are highly hoped to further deepened cooperation under the mechanism of high-level visits, defense consultations, navy dialogues, personnel training, military drill, and others.

Fan, also the vice chairman of China's Central Military Commission, the highest authority which runs the country's armed forced, said the China-Indonesia relations are at a new historical starting point since the two leaders upgraded the ties to comprehensive strategic partnership last year.

The Chinese Army is willing to further enrich the bilateral ties by promoting maritime security cooperation, security collaboration as well as pragmatic exchanges, Fan said.

On the South China Sea issue, Fan stated that it should be resolved through negotiations and consultations by countries directly concerned on the basis of historical facts and international law.

"External powers meddling in the South China Sea territorial disputes will only complicate the issue instead of solving it," Fan pointed out.

During the meeting, Fan also expressed condolences to the Indonesian victims who were on board the Malaysia Airline flight MH17 which crashed days ago and sent sympathy to the families of the victims.

On Thursday, Fan also met with Indonesia's armed forces commander Moeldoko. The two senior military officials exchanged views on the regional security and the bilateral military cooperation.

Fan arrived in Jakarta on Wednesday for a three-day official visit as guest of the Indonesian Defense Ministry. Indonesia is the last stop of Fan's three-state tour after New Zealand and Australia.

China Offers Missile Technology to Indonesia

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro,said that Indonesia has established a defense industry cooperation with the People's Republic of China. Purnomo said that the Chinese are ready to transfer technology in making missiles.

"The Chinese Administration supports the technology-transfer," Purnomo told the press after receiving General Fan Changlong from the Chinese Military. General Fan is a high ranking official, often considered having equal proportion as the Vice President.

Purnomo added that the technology-transfer will be conducted in several stages, given the different authorities that the two nations have. The State Administration for Science Technology and Industry for National Defense (SASTIND) from China is not under the authority of the Defense Ministry.

Indonesia, however, is highly satisfied with the performance of Chinese missiles. "The navy, particularly, is satisfied in terms of quantity, quality, and price," said Purnomo. He added that Indonesia is prioritizing the cooperation on low and medium-range missile.

Wang Yi: Forging China-Indonesia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in Name and in Fact
2014/11/03
W020141105332422310144.jpg


On November 3, 2014, visiting Foreign Minister Wang Yi, together with Foreign Minister Retno Lestari Priansari Marsudi of Indonesia, met with the press in Jakarta, saying that China is willing to make joint efforts with Indonesia to forge a comprehensive strategic partnership in name and in fact.

Wang Yi said that the trip to Indonesia is a trip of connection.

First, comprehensively connect the preparations for the first meeting between leaders of both countries. In several days, President Joko Widodo will go to Beijing to attend the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Informal Leaders’ Meeting upon invitation. During the meeting, leaders of both countries will hold their first meeting to discuss the overall development of the bilateral relations. The important mission of my trip is to make preparations for the meeting.

Second, comprehensively connect the respective development strategy of both countries. President Xi Jinping proposed the idea of “building the Maritime Silk Road of the 21st Century” when visiting Indonesia last year, and President Joko put forward the targets of developing the maritime economy and rebuilding a maritime power. The ideas of China and Indonesia coincide with each other. China is willing to actively participate in Indonesia’s process of building a maritime power and to take Indonesia as the most important partner in “building the Maritime Silk Road of the 21st Century”.

Third, comprehensively connect the bilateral practical cooperation. I have proposed to Foreign Minister Retno the cooperation ideas covering nine major fields including the maritime economy, infrastructure construction, construction of industrial parks, resources and energy, agriculture, high technology, defense and security, people-to-people and cultural exchanges as well as international and regional affairs, on which both sides have agreed in principle. China-Indonesia cooperation is South-South cooperation and mutually beneficial cooperation which aims at common development and prosperity.

Fourth, comprehensively connect the coordination and cooperation of both countries in regional and international affairs. Indonesia is a major country in the region with global influence, a representative emerging economy and the biggest neighbor to the southeast of China. China has always regarded the China-Indonesia relations from the strategic height, and is willing to work with Indonesia to strengthen strategic cooperation, promote the process of world multi-polarization and democratization of international relations, jointly safeguard the interests of the developing countries and promote the development of the international order towards a more just and reasonable direction. In the process of advancing the comprehensive strategic partnership with Indonesia, China is willing to support the unity and development of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), support the ASEAN integration process and support the ASEAN’s leading role in regional cooperation.

Wang Yi said that the year 2015 will witness “triple blessings” as it marks the 65th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relationship between China and Indonesia, the 60th anniversary of the convening of the Bandung Conference and the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Indonesia, and will surely become a year of opportunity for an overall acceleration of the bilateral relations. The China-Indonesia relations are now standing at a new historical starting point. China is willing to seize the opportunity with Indonesia to deepen mutual trust and cooperate with each other to forge a China-Indonesia comprehensive strategic partnership in name and in fact.

Indonesia to join China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank

(AIIB is regarded by some…)
BEIJING: China today welcomed Indonesia's decision to join the Beijing-sponsored Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), which India along with 21 other countries joined as founding members.

"China welcomes Indonesia's formal decision to join the AIIB as a founding member at an early date," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a press briefing here.

1e8c77a7fb43f81d59c267e1bbcdebba.gif

Hong's comments came in response to a question regarding Indonesian Finance Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro's remarks yesterday saying his country may decide to join the AIIB as early as next week.

Indonesia's announcement came after the visit of Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, where he interacted with the new government.

The Beijing-based bank is expected to be operational by next year.

The MoU for the creation of the bank specifies that the authorised capital of AIIB is $100 billion and the initial subscribed capital is expected to be around $50 billion. The paid-in ratio will be 20 per cent.

Calling Indonesia an important economy in Asia, Hong said China has called for joint efforts with countries involved, including Indonesia, to promote early establishment of the AIIB which would serve as a multilateral platform for cooperation.

The 21 countries which signed the MoU include Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Oman, Pakistan, the Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.

Australia, South Korea and Japan have continued to stay away from the grouping.

The AIIB as an international financial institution was proposed by China. The purpose of the multilateral development bank is to provide finance to infrastructure projects in the Asia Pacific region.

AIIB is regarded by some as a rival to the IMF, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), which the AIIB says are dominated by developed countries like the US and Japan.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Indonesia on Sunday and Monday, his first trip to the country since the inauguration of president Joko “Jokowi” Widodo. Wang’s meetings with Jokowi and new Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi helped set the tone for China-Indonesia relations during the newly installed Jokowi administration.

Based on Wang’s visit, all signs indicate that Jokowi will seek to boost China-Indonesia cooperation. China is on board as well — Wang Yi called Indonesia a “diplomatic priority for China” and a central part of China’s neighborhood diplomacy (which always tops Beijing’s foreign policy agenda).

Most significantly, in terms of solid outcomes, Jokowi told Wang that Indonesia supports the establishment of the Chinese-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). As Zach reported last week, Indonesia (along with South Korea and Australia) was one of several major Asia-Pacific countries not to sign on to the AIIB at its official launch. However, Indonesia’s absence from the AIIB launch was attributed not to political reticence but to timing. Jokowi was only inaugurated as president on October 20; that did not give his administration enough time to consider the AIIB proposal.

Now, however, reports indicate that Jakarta is leaning toward joining the bank. Xinhua reports that Jokowi “pledged his support for the establishment of [the] Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank.” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said that China “welcomes the joining of countries in and outside the region into the AIIB, including Indonesia.” Hua added, “The Chinese side hopes to make the AIIB an important platform featuring unity, cooperation, mutual benefit and common development with the concerted efforts of all parties.” Bringing Indonesia on board would be a major win for the AIIB (and thus for China) given Jakarta’s status as the de facto leader of Southeast Asia.

Foreign Ministers Wang and Retno also pledged to boost maritime cooperation between their countries. In particular, Indonesia is on board with China’s Maritime Silk Road initiative. Jakarta’s cooperation is crucial to fulfilling Beijing’s vision of a maritime trade network stretching from East Asia to the Middle East, due to both Indonesia’s rapidly growing economy and its geographic location on the southern edge of the Malacca Strait. Jokowi’s administration seems not only willing to join this project but eager to reap the infrastructure benefits that China offers to participating nations. “Chinese enterprises have an advantage in technology, as well as funds to help develop ports, bridges, toll roads, steam and water power generators, and other infrastructure projects that Indonesia needs.” Wang said, according to CRIEnglish.

The commitment to maritime cooperation belies the common claim that Indonesia and China are increasingly at odds thanks to their expanding navies. Instead, both Jokowi and Wang emphasized the complementary nature of their countries’ maritime ambitions. “Indonesia is on the way of developing into a maritime power, while China proposes to build the 21st century Maritime Silk Road; the two initiative highly fit with each other,” Xinhua quoted Jokowi as saying. For his part, Wang welcomed Indonesia’s participation in the Maritime Silk Road and promised that China would participate “actively in Indonesia’s construction of maritime power” (largely by assisting with infrastructure development).

When it comes to maritime cooperation, the South China Sea disputes are the elephant in the room. Indonesia, while not a claimant in any of the disputes, sees itself in the role of neutral mediator between the ASEAN claimants and China. This has put Jakarta at odds with Beijing, most recently at the ASEAN Foreign Minister’s Meeting in August. Indonesia backed the Philippines’ “triple action plan,” which called for a freeze on activities that would escalate tensions (including construction and land reclamation projects), the finalization of a South China Sea code of conduct, and the use of international arbitration to settle disputes. China rejected this proposal out of hand. Beijing has also vehemently opposed “outside interference” in its bilateral disputes. This position is usually read in the context of the United States but it is equally troubling to Jakarta, itself an interested bystander hoping to play an active role in the dispute resolution process.

For these reason, the Jakarta Post recently argued that addressing the South China Sea disputes, including at next weeks’ APEC summit, will be “the immediate and biggest litmus test” for Jokowi’s administration. The Post warned that ASEAN, fractured by the territorial disputes, risks being sidelined – unless Indonesia can take up a leadership role and unite the 10 ASEAN members. If Indonesia cannot create consensus on the South China Sea issue, the Post said, “outside powers will dominate in its own backyard.” China, meanwhile, does not want to see the South China Sea disputes handled through ASEAN at all, and certainly doesn’t want to deal with a united bloc in its territorial negotiations.

Jokowi will travel to Beijing next week for the APEC summit, where he will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping. Indonesia’s role at APEC, particularly if the South China Sea disputes come under discussion, will be a telling sign of Jokowi’s approach to Indonesia-China relations.
