ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute organised a seminar titled, “From “Indonesian Form” to “Chinese Indonesian Form”: Indonesian Government Policies towards the Chinese and their Impact” on 17 September 2015.
The seminar discussed on the impact of Indonesian government policies on its Chinese ethnic minority and the evolving identity of the minority group. Some of the questions addressed included:
-
- Do the Chinese Indonesians now form a unified minority group or do they remain fragmented?
- Will the rise of China affect their position, and how will they relate to Indonesia’s nation-building process?
