The Chinese in Indonesia are hated by all Indonesians - by the Islamists as "kafirs", by the nationalists as "collaborators of the colonialists", by the rightists as "communists" and even by the communists as "capitalists" - the overseas Chinese are overrepresented in the economy of countries where they live. And the Chinese were indeed over-represented in the Indonesian Communist Party, which at the time of its defeat in 1965 was the largest non-ruling communist party in the world. In fact, in the relations of the Indonesians to the Chinese there were the following causes of hostility, similar to and even surpassing those of the Turks to the Armenians before 1915:
1. Overrepresentation in the national economy and the revolutionary movement,
2. Suspicion as agents of a hostile foreign power,
3. A religious motive, deeper than the Turkish Armenophobia, because the Armenians, according to Islam, as Christians, are "people of the book", and they have good relations with the Muslim Persians and Arabs - for example, in Saudi Arabia in recent years there have been demands for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, while although a significant proportion of overseas Chinese are Christians, there are also followers of syncretic Chinese folk religion among them,
4. Centuries of cooperation with foreign conquerors - while the Turks have been an imperial people for centuries, with a weaker inferiority complex.
Only the concern for territorial integrity is absent, but also Western Armenia before 1915 was a multi-ethnic region. And my question is about the consequences if, after the defeat of the Indonesian Communist Party, the Suharto regime organizes and carries out the first genocide since the Second World War, guided by Islamic fundamentalist and chauvinistic motives. I know that the economic consequences for the country will be negative, due to the loss of experience, education and capital - still at least some of the Chinese will be able to escape to Singapore or Malaysia. I am interested in what will be the reaction of China, Taiwan and Singapore to this event, and how it will affect their relations, as well as the relations of overseas Chinese with the People's Republic of China. how will it affect the relationship between the Chinese and the kin of the Indonesian Malays, I am especially curious how this will affect Sino-Malay relations in Singapore - whether there will be retaliatory Malay pogroms and murders, what position will post-Suharto Indonesia take on the genocide - will it recognize it, apologize and pay reparations, or will it aggressively deny it around the world, as Turkey, Azerbaijan and Pakistan deny the Armenian Genocide and if he takes the second political line, which countries will recognize the genocide and which - will support denial, except Pakistan, Brunei and maybe Malaysia? Also, how much anti-Americanism among the Chinese and around the world will such actions by this "son of our bitch"?
