I'm Chinese. In fact I'm happy to see Chinese Indonesians are getting recognised in Indonesia. All people should live in peace and love each other.

LOL....mau chinese mau lokal mau itu blasteran barat, africa,india,arab. Kalo jiwa nasionalisme nya lebih tinggi dari orang lokal. Itu yg harusnya di bilang orang Indonesia. Dan orang lokal yg menghancurkan Bangsa itu yg harusnya di bilang bukan orang indonesia.
Sadar diri pls...
gmn negara mau maju kalo masih ngeributin etnis. Kampret lah...
Gue orang pribumi turunan "Jawa Sunda".

[@phamdewestriver3623]

good news to hear the oversea chinese geting inside another culture and assimilated in other countries. But i think chinese gov should still provide helps for these oversea chinese if any riot or massacre happens considering the 63 and 98 slaughter in indonisia. It s not only fails of indonisia, it s fails of human civilization for people carrying out these atrocity.

[@vickyavalon999]

Malaysia have the same tragedy in 1963.
