Features: The issue of the Chinese government's policies in Indonesia has long been regarded as an important, complex, and sensitive research topic. The author, in the book, takes the development and changes in Indonesia's political, economic, and social environment as the axis, tracing the basic context of the formation and evolution of the Chinese policies of successive Indonesian governments. It explains how the conflicts and estrangements between indigenous people and Chinese have influenced the formation of the Chinese policies of the Indonesian government, the relationship between the Chinese perspectives of the leadership of successive Indonesian governments and their Chinese policies, and the impact of the formulation and implementation of Chinese policies on the long-standing phenomenon of anti-Chinese sentiment. The author comprehensively employs research methods and perspectives from multiple disciplines and cross-fields, such as history, anthropology, and sociology, to conduct an in-depth analysis of the background and consequences of the formation and evolution of Chinese policies of successive Indonesian governments, aiming to view the Chinese policies of the Indonesian government from a comprehensive, historical, and developmental perspective. This work holds certain academic value and practical significance in the study of Chinese issues in Indonesia, filling the gaps in related research fields.
