Chapter 596 What kind of people is this
"In fact, Indonesia has always been one of the countries with the most serious exclusion of China. Since the Hongxi tragedy caused by the Dutch colonial authorities in 1740, there have been many large-scale tragedies of exclusion, slaughter and persecution of overseas Chinese in Indonesia. Just like the Surabaya tragedy in November 1945, the Bandung tragedy in March 1946, the Wendeng tragedy in June of the same year, the Yamaguchi tragedy in August, the Bayanyadi tragedy in September, and the Jugang tragedy in January 1947, I have carefully studied the country and found a lot of things. The current situation seems to be I have to repeat the tragedy that happened many years ago. With my eyes closed, I seem to be able to see the tragic scene coming to my face. Can you imagine what kind of nation this is? Tang Yu said, but his face was a little heavy.
"I have carefully studied history. According to other people's research, the ancestors of the current Indonesian nation should have originated in the southwest of China, mainly in Yunnan Province. They are the same ancestors as the Dai people in Yunnan Province now. In the long history, the ancestors of the Dai nationality moved south, first to Thailand, that is, the current Thai nation, and then south to Malaya, that is, the current Malay nation; and then continued to move south to the Indonesian islands, which is the current Indonesian nation.
With that, seeing a doubtful look on Situ Lei's face, he realized that although he was Chinese, he was born in the United States and grew up in the United States. He may not know the long history of China. Just like the Dai people, he may not know what he was talking about, but Tang Yu continued to say it without explaining it. In fact, since he arrived in Jakarta, Tang Yu has been very depressed. He doesn't know whether his intervention can avoid another space-time cup. He doesn't know if he can stop that cup from happening, but no matter what, he has to try his best to organize. Blackwater International has been very stranded in Nisi, India. Many rich businessmen in Asia have been contacted and briefly signed an employment contract for them to send security personnel to protect them. There are also many security personnel from Blackwater International in the Chinese settlement to avoid sudden riots and chaos.
Of course, what Blackwater International has done most is to use the signs that exist in Indonesia at this time, use their secret means to obtain information and transmit this information to the Chinese, and persuade them to withdraw. For example, the intelligence of the military's secret special training thugs are ready to participate in smashing and looting has been obtained by Blackwater International. With these video materials, it's hard for them to believe it.
For Tang Yu, that's all he can do, and the rest can only do his best to follow his fate. If Su Ha Tuo wants to go all the way to the dark, then Blackwater International can only sacrifice his life to accompany him. Isn't one of the original purposes of Blackwater International to protect these Chinese compatriots in a foreign country?
Thinking of this, Tang Yu continued to talk to Situ Lei about the history of the famous ethnic group of Indonesia.
"In fact, as far as I know, as early as the 10th century, in order to avoid the chaos of the Huangchao Uprising in the Eastern Han Dynasty, many Chinese people came to the neighboring state of Sumatra, Indonesia to cultivate. Then in the Tang and Song Dynasties, many people were exiled to Southeast Asia for political reasons. During the alternation of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, many surviving ministers of the Song Dynasty were exiled overseas. For example, Zheng Sixiao, an old man of the Song Dynasty, fled to Java, Indonesia. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Prince Fu and Prince Tang of the Ming Dynasty crossed the sea to Java one after another. In 1683, some Zheng Keshuang's regime soldiers who did not want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty also took a boat from Taiwan to Java, which can be considered.
"After the Ming Dynasty, due to the germination of China's coastal capitalism and the development of overseas trade, land mergers have become more and more serious, and there has been a serious phenomenon of socialization. Bankrupt farmers and craftsmen have crossed the sea to make a living. There are many small merchants who carry Chinese porcelain on their shoulders to sell outside, and many of them have stayed because the living conditions here are better than those in China's inland. After that, Chinese people moved from China one after another for various reasons. The main components are businessmen, fishermen, students studying in Indonesia, etc. After these people came to Indonesia mainly for men, some of them married the locals and took root.
Then there was the modern industrial revolution. In the Indonesian archipelago, after the Dutch East India Company occupied Jakarta in 1619, all industries were waiting to flourish and labor was urgently needed. They take a fancy to the hard-working Chinese. The first governor, Zhan Peterson Kun, believes that no matter what ethnic group the republic absorbs, the Chinese must be the majority, and then the republic can survive. Therefore, the company tried every means to attract Chinese immigrants, and even used robbery by any means to send armed ships to plunder people along the coast of China. It can be said that before the arrival of the Western colonists, there was no big dispute between the two sides, or even a harmonious relationship. There was not much contradiction at all. The real change was the arrival of the colonists.
"Soon after, the sea coachman, the Dutch, came here, and the Dutch colonists ruled Indonesia for 350 years since the 17th century. The means of rule of the colonial rulers are nothing more than division and the search for agents of rulers. The Dutch colonists chose a small number of upper-class Chinese and upper-class indigenous people as their agents. The large companies controlled by the Dutch colonists really manipulated price changes and carried out economic plunder, but made many Chinese who were engaged in small hawkers bear the notoriety of manipulating the economy. This is the beginning of the contradiction between the Chinese and the aborigines. It should be said that the colonists deliberately did it, which was called differentiation and ruled. In order to transfer the anti-Dutch sentiment to the Chinese, the Dutch colonial rulers constantly provoked the relationship between the aborigines and the Chinese in order to enjoy the benefits of fishermen. Therefore, Chinese Indonesians have become the scapegoat for the uninterrupted struggle for group interests in Indonesia's political situation.
Situ Lei naturally doesn't know much about these history, and he doesn't need to know. His arrival is to represent the Chinese people here on behalf of the family, in order to increase the reputation of New York's court among the Chinese, so as to take this opportunity to have a relationship with Blackwater International and seek a new way out for the family. This is his purpose. As for history Damn it, damn it, let him go to hell. Of course, he must not have the courage to say this to Tang Yu now. Instead, he has to listen carefully.
Of course, Tang Yu is not in the mood to care about this now. He continued to say, "In the 1940s, the Japanese Empire and activists inherited the rule of the Dutch colonists and began to inform Indonesia that before the Japanese imperial army "ared" the country of thousands of islands, they had already sent a large number of spies to infiltrate. All over Indonesia. Japanese spies clearly see that the best strategy for the imperial army to successfully "enter" Indonesia is to provoke the relationship between the aborigines and the Chinese. Therefore, they spread that the Chinese are Chinese dogs everywhere (the Indonesian authorities call the Chinese Cina (Cina) at this time). The Chinese are vampires. Only the Japanese imperial army can "save" the Indonesian aborigines, and only the Japanese imperial army and Indonesia can "prosper together". Of course, many insightful people among the aborigines later awakened and held high the anti-Japanese flag. Many Chinese also joined the anti-Japanese struggle, but most of the aborigines were deceived by Japanese slogans at that time. The traps set by colonialists, empires and activists have caused long-term harm to the Indonesian nation and country. It can be said that the contradiction between the Chinese and Indonesia was deliberately created by the Dutch and Japanese colonists, and once this contradiction has gone through many years and generations, it will become hatred, which can't be washed away.
"Indonesia became independent in 1945, and the Dutch colonists withdrew from Indonesia. There was an opportunity for the Chinese economy to further develop, but it soon faced a setback, which was caused by the Suharto regime. In the 1960s, after long-term planning and preparation, President Sukano issued a strict decree P.P.10, declaring that there were 10 strict restrictions on Chinese commercial activities: banning all commercial activities of Chinese people below the county. The forced Chinese to end the business of small hawkers and have to leave the areas below the county, which set off the most serious anti-Chinese and anti-Chinese wave since independence. In the mid-1960s, Indonesia entered the era of Suharto's rule. In order to get rid of the economic predicament, although it has relaxed the business restrictions of Chinese people economically, it has implemented a series of stricter "forced assimilation" policies for Chinese people politically. Kill the rights and interests of Chinese as Indonesian citizens in other fields and their equal citizenship. For example, Chinese people are prohibited from participating in politics and joining the army, Chinese schools are closed, Chinese people are restricted from entering universities, and the use of Chinese is strictly prohibited. Chinese people should give up Chinese names, change their surnames in Indonesian, and put a stigma on Chinese resident cards, etc. They blatantly violate the United Nations declarations and conventions on human rights, seriously violate the basic human rights of Chinese, and further set the Chinese ethnic group against other ethnic groups. Suharto is also one of the culprits, hum.
Tang Yu snorted coldly as he spoke. In fact, since Suhardo came to power, there have been more than a dozen incidents of Chinese exclusion in Indonesia. For example, the anti-Chinese riots that spread from West Java to Central and East Java from March to May 1963, the all-Indonesian anti-Chinese riots from 1965 to 1967, the anti-Chinese riots caused by the anti-Japanese movement in 1974, the anti-Chinese riots triggered by student demonstrations in Jakarta in 1978, and 11 in 1980 Chinese riots, movements, etc. in Java in the middle of the month. In the 1980s, various anti-Chinese, anti-Chinese and anti-Chinese bloodshed incidents of different sizes occurred one after another and were staged in almost every year in Indonesia.
Indonesian President Suharto, who came to power through a coup in 1967, has been using the lives of Chinese to consolidate his regime with military dictatorship for 32 years. In the so-called anti-communist "cleansing" wave, 500,000 "leftists" were killed, and another 600,000 without any trial. Put in prison.
Only because the foundation of the Suhardo regime has not been shaken, each Chinese exclusion incident is only controlled as a political means. It has not been further expanded to shake the purpose of its regime. After that, it has calmed down, and then uses Chinese people to revitalize the economy. If this happens again, it will still be the same. It's so repetitive, it's not good to try again and again. During Suhardo's reign for more than 30 years, the majority of Chinese people were accustomed to it and felt numb. They did not realize that the stifled civil rights and interests had long been a political crisis related to their own survival!
Situ Lei did not have such a deep understanding of these, but he was deeply touched by the 930 incident 30 years ago, because he had several elders who died in the 930 incident that year.
