Chinese Indonesians, also called the Indonesian Chinese, are an overseas Chinese group whose ancestors emigrated from China to Indonesia, formerly a colony of the Netherlands known as the Dutch East Indies. Maritime trade drove early Chinese migration into the Malay Archipelago, and the population grew rapidly through the colonial period when workers were contracted from their home provinces in southern China. Indonesia's 2000 census reported more than 2.4 million self identified ethnic Chinese citizens, or 1.2 percent of the country's population at the time. This figure is disputed because it is impossible to determine the exact number of Chinese Indonesians, in some cases because of fear from being identified as one in the years following anti-Chinese violence in 1998. Some sources estimate that the population may be two to three times its reported size. Данное издание представляет собой компиляцию сведений, находящихся в свободном доступе...
