I have some questions wanna ask u about Indonesia country.
Glad to see you too bro, no prob.
1. What's the relationship between Indonesia and China, whether we can be friends today?
(i knew China support Indonesia to develop domestic anti-ship missile and provide other military support)
Indonesia and China are already friends, even a deeper military to military cooperation such as massive army, air force, and naval exercise will be held soon. China is one of Indonesia's main market and economic destination as both are Asia's economic development powerhouse.

2. How normal Indonesia ppl looks China, do they welcome Chinese to Indonesia?
3. What's recent situations of local Chinese (Indonesia-Chinese) position in Indonesia socity, did Indonesia native ppl still hate them?
(Coz 1998 anti-Chinese crisis happened in Indonesia hurt many Chinese hearts in China, news reported many killings and cuts here, so terrible.)
The Anti Chinese crisis is not actually anti-chinese. 1998-1999 were the hardest period for Indonesia, Indonesia was the worst victim during Asia financial crisis, millions of people lost their job. At the same time, in 1998, a massive movement took down Soeharto from presidential chair, it later caused a vacuum in government instances. Police department and military force were acting based on their own leader, civil order were widely abused. The result was there's nothing to stop hungry people and unemployed from looting and pillaging. The victims were not only Chinese ethnic, in fact, the local people were also hit. Anti-Chinese riot was no more than propaganda to weaken Habibie's leadership, a Soeharto's successor, at international stage because Habibie was accused for his willing to continue Soeharto's reign.
There was no anti chinese.
Indonesia became normal again under the leadership of President Wahid in early 2000. There are no ban for Chinese ethnic to practice their culture and language, as well as using Chinese name. After the fall of Indonesia's Soeharto totalitarian regime, The first abolished the use of the terms "indigenous" and "non-indigenous" in official government documents and business. The second abolished the ban on the study of Mandarin Chinese and reaffirmed a 1996 instruction that abolished the use of the SBKRI (special citizenship) to identify citizens of Chinese descent. In 2000 the newly elected President Wahid abolished the ban on public displays of Chinese culture and allowed Chinese traditions to be practised freely, without the need of a permit. Two years later President Megawati Sukarnoputri declared that the Chinese New Year (Imlek) would be marked as a national holiday from 2003. In addition to Habibie's directive on the term "pribumi", the legislature passed a new citizenship law in 2006 defining the word asli ("indigenous") in the Constitution as a natural born person.
Ethnic Chinese in Indonesia is now considered the same with the other ethnic in Indonesia, their citizenship are no different than mine and they are allowed to run for President if they are interested. In fact, many of Chinese ethnic in Indonesia sit in the parliament and ministries, even in the military. Many of them are elected by local population to sit in high ranking governmental position, Chinese or no chinese, as long as they can run the country well, there shouldn't be a problem. Although there still a little discrimination, but their voices are nothing.
Here's some of Indonesian people from ethnic Chinese that are elected to sit on governmental chairs.
Indonesia's naval officer - one of Ministry of Defense Attaches, Col. Surya Margono.
Marie Elka Pangestu - One of Ministers in Indonesia parliament.
Basuki Tjahja - Vice Governor of Jakarta
Even many of them became public figure such as a preacher in Indonesian Islamic societies like Anton Medan.
