Why did Indonesians kill Chinese before?

Dutch colonists divided and ruled and planted the seeds of Indonesian hatred for China.

/kloc-In the 7th century, the Netherlands established the East India Company, and Indonesia gradually became a colony of the Netherlands. During this period, Portugal, Spain, Britain and other countries successively established trade networks in Southeast Asia and directly traded with European and American countries, creating unprecedented opportunities for making a living.

At this time, China was in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the society was in turmoil. The livelihood of the people in Guangdong and Fujian is difficult to maintain. In order to make a living and avoid the war, a large number of people moved to Southeast Asia, forming the first wave of large-scale immigration to Southeast Asia, which was also boosted by changes such as the opening of the sea ban and the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to attract more China businessmen, the colonists treated China people in various ways. After Spain conquered Manila, it released the detained Chinese businessmen and avoided hurting the Chinese in the war with the aborigines. The Netherlands issued a large number of free cards, attracting and even forcing Chinese to move to Batu (Jakarta).

But when China's economic strength grew, the colonists began to be afraid again. Since 1603 slaughtered more than 20,000 Chinese, Spanish colonists have slaughtered and expelled Chinese many times in Manila. In Bacheng, "the Dutch saw the increasing number of people in the Tang Dynasty and gradually got tired of thinness, so they increased their exploitation and did not impose skills." (Cheng Riyun's Caraballo) The oppressed China people launched an uprising in 1740, but were told. Dutch colonists slaughtered in this city for seven days, killing almost all the people in China.

On the one hand, the colonists should use the Chinese labor force to develop Southeast Asia, on the other hand, they should try their best to control the Chinese forces. What they are most afraid of is the combination of Chinese and aborigines, so they adopt the method of divide and rule, aiming at alienating their relationship and creating contradictions between them. 1. Apartheid restricted the freedom of residence and passage of Chinese, and the communication between Chinese and aborigines dropped sharply; Second, Europeans, foreign orientals and Indonesian aborigines are divided into first class, second class and third class, but in fact, Chinese people do not have greater rights than aborigines; Third, restrict the aborigines to the agricultural field, train Chinese to do business, and appoint Chinese as tax collectors.

In this way, the status of Chinese people is higher than that of aborigines, and they are also richer than aborigines. They also act as intermediaries to manage the aborigines economically. The hatred of the aborigines towards the Dutch colonists was transferred to the people of China. To some extent, this is the root of ethnic prejudice against Chinese in Indonesia, and the harmony between aborigines and Chinese communities is in danger of falling apart.
