Well unless you know the history of overseas Chinese you should refrain from making comment
to begin with Indonesian Chinese have dual citizenship under the agreement between China and Dutch Indie and continue until the Republic time.
The Republic, in case you can't tell from the little difference in flags or name, is not the People's Republic. You do know it's important, right? Such as fact that overseas Chinese were not even close to uniformly pro communist?
Actually it is Zhou En Lai who started the problem During his visit to Asia Africa conference He is calling all the Indonesian Chinese Chinese citizen and ask them to support China.
Alarmed the Indonesian start the motion to abrogate the treaty and forced everybody to choose side
Because of economic failure in Indonesea Chinese become the easy scapegoat for the politician and pogrom followed At first China send ships to evacuate the overseas Chinese but Suffering from the failure of long leap forward She soon stop sending ship and Leave the Indonesian Chinese to themselves
That long before the idea of "Non interference" Radio China exhorted all the overseas chinese to support China and She openly support socalled Communist faction during struggle for power in Indonesia and remembered this during the cold war The Chinese were forbiden to practice their culture and language until recently and forced to take Indonesian name That is real cultural Genocide!
That works against my point that treating overseas Chinese as citizens makes thing worse in WHAT way, exactly?
And I am going to need some source other than your bland assertions to take this as fact. This is dubious for the following resasons:
-It is completely out of character with Chinese foreign policy in that period as I understood it - she wasn't even supporting the Malaysian Communists, a mostly Chinese outfit in a place with a much higher Chinese population proportion.
-The Bandung Conference was exactly AGAINST this sort of things (see principles 2-4). For Zhou to say that, he'll have to be an exceedingly rash and unwise diplomat.
-Indonesian Chinese were divided between KMT and CPC followers.
-West Kalimantan happened in '67, Sokarno's infamous PP 10/1959 in, well, October 1959, neither of which fits in with your... curious timeline
-The idea of non-interference, as you put it, came AT THE SAME TIME as your alleged comment by Zhou - and the self-same Bandung Conference
Such a famous incident, including a Chinese communist attempt to evacuate Indonesian Chinese (there were over a million, you DO know that, right?), shouldn't be so hard to find a few references, should it?
Moreover, suppose that all of the above actually happened... that is STILL just Indonesia. China still has no business interfering on behave of Indian-Chinese, American-Chinese, Malaysian-Chinese or whatever, unless they actually ARE Chinese citizens.
Now tell me after creating all the problem Does China at least has the moral responsibility to at least bring attention to the plight of Chinese in Indonesia?
China does make noises from time time, including condemnations of the 1998 riots. It, of course, did no good whatsoever. All of this, by the way, pre-supposes your interesting theory of Indonesian anti-Chinese pogroms.
No she doesn't because as Zhou En Lai said it is as if you given away
Wrong. Stated above, China DOES. The fact that you don't think that's enough is neither here nor there.
Yes I know in Chinese culture daughter has no value whatsoever!
And for somebody who is supposed to be arguing for humanitarianism, you sure like to make sweeping generalization. What will we have next? Chinese culture eats dogs?
Tibetan is not EU or US citizen for that matter but it doesn't prevent the from making comment or bring attention
They could do whatever they want, that doesn't make it a good idea, or something that is actually effective.
