Xanadu, established in the Ming Dynasty, is now very rich. Why did Natuna become the territory of Indonesia?

As early as the Han Dynasty, China discovered this archipelago. When Zheng He went to the Western Ocean in the Ming Dynasty, people were stationed on the island, and the Natuna Islands in the Ming Dynasty belonged to our territory.

Natuna Islands used to be a desert island with an area of 2 1 10 square kilometers. After Zhang and others came, they established a country without a title with the people stationed here, and they have always been regarded as subjects of the Ming Dynasty.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 7th century, the Netherlands tasted the sweetness of colonization. Since then, Holland has lost control. Due to the development of navigation, they frantically expanded their colonies. Whether poor or rich, they have experienced plunder. By plundering resources, they quickly grew into ocean hegemons.

When they landed in the Natuna Islands, the inhabitants of the island were no match for them at all and were soon occupied.

In order to assimilate this place completely, they carried out "anti-China policy", colonial rule and slavery control on the island residents. Revise the school curriculum, ban Chinese teaching, and use Dutch as the learning language. In addition, the policy of islanders not paying taxes is totally unacceptable to the Dutch. The original paradise disappeared and became a colony.

After the outbreak of World War II, the islands were ruled by Japan. After Japan surrendered, Indonesia gained the sovereignty of Natuna Islands and was included in the territory of Indonesia. At that time, China people on the island turned to China for help, but at that time, New China had just been established and its national strength was still very weak, so it could not help the Natuna Islands.

In the 1980s, the oil and gas content on the island was extremely high. By exploiting these resources, Indonesian National Oil Company and American Daniel F. Akerson Oil Company have made a lot of money. At that time, there were about 15000 China people on the island, accounting for more than 80% of the island's population. Because of the rich oil and natural gas resources, islanders have made a lot of money, and now they are getting rich one by one.
