History of Chinese immigrants in Indonesia

According to Indonesian statistics, the total number of Chinese in Indonesia has exceeded10 million, making it the third largest ethnic group in Indonesia. According to data released by Indonesia, nearly 3 million of them hold more than half of Indonesia's wealth. With such a huge population and economic wealth, Chinese Indonesians play a huge role in Indonesia's economic development.

Indonesian Chinese hold more than half of Indonesia's wealth and bring a lot of resources to the local area.

This group of Indonesian Chinese mainly come from Fujian and Guangdong. Indonesian Chinese from Fujian are mainly engaged in local products, gold and silver jewelry, supermarkets and other industries, while Indonesian Chinese from Guangdong are mainly engaged in hardware, clothing, furniture factories and other industries. There are also other Indonesian Chinese registered here to do business, which has brought a lot of economic flow to Indonesia. Because most commercial industries have a long history of development, after long-term management and technical accumulation, they eventually developed into a huge family industry. In the business field of Indonesia, the bosses of large enterprises are basically Chinese, and the four richest families in Indonesia are also Chinese.

Most China people will take the initiative to explore overseas markets and train a group of technical talents for foreign exchange. Foreign enterprises have successfully entered the Indonesian market through the "bridge" of Indonesian Chinese. While foreign companies are making profits, a large amount of resources and advanced technology from foreign companies have promoted the rapid development of Indonesia's economy.

Indonesian Chinese family members are distributed all over the world.

Indonesian Chinese were once called "Oriental Jews". Various ethnic crises and anti-Chinese riots in history have caused long-term migration of Indonesian Chinese, and transnational migration has caused mixed-race members of Indonesian Chinese families. Especially among wealthy families, the internationalization of Indonesian Chinese is more obvious, and it has become normal for members of a family to come from multiple ethnic groups, cross-culture and operate multiple languages.

Indonesian Chinese still maintain China's traditional ideas and ways of thinking.

Although most Indonesian Chinese do business in Indonesia, most of them emigrate to Singapore and wander between different countries. Indonesian Chinese still maintain China's traditional ideas and ways of thinking in their bones.

Indonesian Chinese occupy a high position in the local economic status, and the Chinese sense of holding a group is also reflected at this moment, and the Indonesian Chinese have a strong sense of community. On New Year's Eve, several Indonesian Chinese families get together to celebrate the arrival of the Spring Festival, which is a recognition and attention to China culture and a good way for Indonesian Chinese to have friendly business contacts.

In addition, Indonesian Chinese with huge wealth also have the habit of "showing off their wealth", wearing their own brand clothes and going in and out of their own large-scale industries all show that they are the owners of valuables.
