@ChineseTiger1986 ^^^ You comment only showed Chinese haven't changed despite they are better off. What the **** does it matter if those ethnic Chinese were pro KMT or pro PRC. They were Chinese weren't they? Are you telling me the blood in the pro KMT is different from pro PRC?
I feel sick. I can't believe you are defending the Indonesian just because they seem to be on your side.
Read this and weep. And if you don't, you are not human.
BUNNY IN THE HOUSE: A History That We Chinese Should Remember
Wednesday, September 2, 2009
In 1997 and 1998 there were riots in various parts of Indonesia
The riots were triggered by economic problems like food shortages and mass unemployment in Indonesia
Some of the riots were aimed against the Chinese-Indonesians
Some riots looked spontaneous and some looked as if they had been planned
The first five weeks of 1998 there were over two dozen of demonstrations
Price riots, bomb threats, and bombings were all around the island
At the start of May 1998
Students were holding a peaceful demonstrations on university campuses across the country
They were protesting against massive price rises for fuel and energy besides that they were demanding that President Suharto should step down
During May 12, students at Jakarta's Trisakti University planned to march to the parliament and present the government with their demands
The police prevented the students from marching
Few uniformed men on motorcycles appeared on the flyover and shots rang out
Four students were killed
A peaceful demonstration became into a bloody scene
The riots became more widespread on 14-15 May 1998
Rioting across Jakarta destroyed many commercial centres in Jakarta and over 1,000 died
Ethnic Chinese (Chinese - Indonesian) were targeted
Properties and businesses owned by ethnic chinese was seriously targeted in this incident
The riots were allegedly instigated by Indonesian military members who were out of uniform
Homes were attacked and women were raped by gangs of men who wore ordinary clothing
Shops and buildings owned by ethnic chinese were either destroyed or burned down
According to the news
Up to 3-5% of chinese population in indonesia fled because of this incident
Over 1,000 and as many as 5,000 people died during these riots in Jakarta and other cities
Many victims died in burning malls and supermarkets but some were shot or beaten to death
2,479 shop-houses, 1,026 ordinary houses, 1,604 shops, 383 private offices, 65 bank offices, 45 workshops, 40 shopping malls, 13 markets, and 12 hotels were destroyed or damaged in this incident
Can anybody tell me what's happening to the world now?
Can anybody tell me does justice still exists?
What did we chinese do wrong?
What that we chinese did which make you indonesians so eager to kill us alive?
Not only this Anti - Chinese Riot in Indonesia
Many incidents, bombings and roits are happening all around the world
Global warming ! Terrorists ! Fights ! Democracies ! AND SO MUCH MORE !
When can peace really exist in our life
What will happen to our future?
Will even worst things happen?
If this continue, i rather won't get married and won't give birth to any kids
Because this world is a disaster
I won't let my child suffer in this kind of place
p/s : Maybe this post will make some of you feeling uncomfortable or nausea, but please bear with it because the world is really changing.
@nufix ^^^ I am done with you. Next.
That reminds me to the recent event. I wonder why the Indonesian police allowed the mob attacking Australian embassy in the spy row? I post just one image. I spare to post more disgusted pictures here.
Angry India retaliates over US arrest of diplomat
December 18, 2013
A bulldozer removes the security barriers in front of the US embassy in New Delhi, yesterday. - Reuters pic, December 18, 2013.India launched a series of reprisals against US officials yesterday, foreign ministry sources said, as outrage grows over a diplomat's arrest in New York that New Delhi has branded "humiliating".
In an escalating row, the Indian government ordered a range of measures including recalling identity cards for US consular officials that speed up travel into and through India, the sources said.
"We have ordered the withdrawal of all ID cards that are issued by the Ministry of External Affairs to the officials at the US consulates across India," a senior ministry source told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The government will also stop all import clearances for the US embassy including for alcohol, the sources said, while Indian security forces removed barricades outside the US embassy in New Delhi.
Tow trucks and mechanical diggers were seen taking away the heavy barriers which control traffic on the streets around the embassy.
The moves come after India's deputy consul general in the US, Devyani Khobragade, was arrested in New York last week while dropping her children off at school.
Khobragade was arrested for allegedly underpaying her domestic helper, who is also an Indian national, and for lying on the helper's visa application form.
Anger over the incident has been mounting in the Indian press, with front-page reports yesterday claiming Khobragade had been handcuffed and "strip-searched and confined with drug addicts".
Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid said the government had taken measures to address the arrest, calling Khobragade's seizure "completely unacceptable".
"We have put in motion what we believe would be effective ways of addressing the issue but also in motion such steps that need to be taken to protect her dignity," Khurshid told reporters in New Delhi.
Later yesterday US State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf said The United States is reviewing the circumstances surrounding the arrest "to ensure that all appropriate procedures were followed and every opportunity for courtesy was extended.
"The United States and India enjoy a broad and deep friendship, and this isolated episode is not indicative of the close and mutually respectful ties we share," she said in a statement.
India last Friday summoned the US ambassador to protest against the arrest, and a foreign ministry official said at the time that India was "shocked and appalled" at the handling of the incident.
The arrest touches a number of hot buttons in India, where fear of public humiliation, particularly among the middle and upper classes, resonates deeply, and pay and conditions for servants is kept mostly private.
The case is also the latest involving alleged mistreatment of domestic workers by wealthy Indian families. Many are poorly paid in India and rights groups regularly report cases of beating and other abuse.
Harf said on Monday that diplomatic security staff "followed standard procedures" during the arrest before Khobragade was handed over to US Marshals.
Harf also said Khobragade does not have full diplomatic immunity.
She only has immunity from prosecution with respect to duties performed as a consular official, under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.
The diplomat's father urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to intervene in the case and ensure his daughter's safe return to India.
"I am concerned with the safety and dignity of my daughter. I want my daughter back safe in India," Uttam Khobragade told TV stations.
With general elections just months away in India, both the ruling Congress party and the main opposition are keen not to be seen as being too lenient with The United States over the issue.
India's national security adviser called the diplomat's treatment "barbaric" while a string of senior politicians from both major parties snubbed a visiting US Congressional delegation over the issue.
Opposition candidate for prime minister, Narendra Modi, said in a tweet that he had "refused" to meet the US delegation over the arrest.
The speaker of the lower house of parliament also called off a meeting with the US visitors, her office said.
The Indian embassy in Washington said Friday that the detention was based on "allegations raised by the officer's former India-based domestic assistant".
The domestic worker had "absconded" from her employer in June and was already the subject of an injunction issued by the High Court in Delhi, the embassy added in a statement on its website. - AFP, December 18, 2013.

Very simple. The mad Red Khmers under Pol Pot not only intended to implement Chinese style Cultural Revolution in Cambodia, but wanted to annihilate the entire existing population! Only peasants should live. They did not care of nationality.First, many of you said that the anti-Vietnamese Khmer Rouge were mostly of Chinese descent, now they all suddenly become the anti-Chinese killers in Cambodia.
Your logic has a paradox, it is hard to answer.
As long as Indonesia feels remote and regret over the wrong historical past, we will forgive them. Chinese people are very forgivable people. We forgive the Mongol, Manchu of whom we could easily revenge and massacre but our leaders said no.
Indonesia will be a strong strategic ally and an important force to fix our issue with ASEAN. If Indonesia on our side, then any request for military aids will be provided.
Those survived pro-CPC Indonesian Chinese have already returned back to China in the 1960-1970s, those remained in Indonesia were pro-KMT.
Despite they were pro-KMT, CPC had warned them the possible coming danger and wanted to bring them back to China, but they refused, because the hatred against CPC had clouded their judgement.
It is indeed a tragedy, but these guys had already chosen their own fate, what do you want us to do? This is a lesson for all oversea Chinese to love their motherland no matter what regime it is.
