“there are plenty of Chinese in Indonesia...” Well, yeah, since the Indonesians are Chinese. Indonesia is also the largest Muslim county in the world. Hank

I may be wrong, but the majority of Indonesians don't consider themselves Chinese.

As I understand it, Chinese and Indonesians in Indonesia don't always like each other, and their differences often leads to violent clashes.

“I may be wrong, but the majority of Indonesians don’t consider themselves Chinese.”

They all migrated from China, but they came in waves. Of course the earliest settlers think of themselves as different—but you and I don’t have to.

They are also a source of pirates in the region and the South China sea, and are a menace to Australia’s fishing industy.

Still, their Beef Rendang is out of this world.
