Before the invasion of western colonists, China people and indigenous people lived in harmony and made important contributions to the prosperity of local economy.
After the Dutch colonial rule, a large number of Chinese went to Indonesia to make a living or were treated as laborers. They fully participated in the transformation of Indonesia's economy from a natural economy to a market economy and played an important role.
In the 20th century, Indonesia witnessed the awakening of Chinese and aborigines and the dual-track national movement, which gradually merged in the struggle for national independence.
After Indonesian independence, the idea of "aboriginism" among aborigines rose, and there was a large-scale economic exclusion against China.

It was not until Indonesia entered the period of democratic reform that it had a more objective and fair evaluation of the historical position, role and contribution of Chinese.
