Colonial Era
In colonial times, the Dutch had raised some community leaders with the title Captain of China, which are required to be loyal and liaison between the government and the Chinese community. Some of them turned out to also have contributed to the general public, such as So Beng Beng Gan Kong and Phoa who built the canal in Batavia. In Yogyakarta, Captain Tan Djin Sing had become regent of Yogyakarta.

Actually, there are also groups of Chinese who had fought against the Dutch, either alone or together with other ethnic groups. Along ethnic Javanese, Chinese groups fighting against VOC years 1740-1743. In West Kalimantan, the Chinese community joined in the "Republic" Lanfong [citation needed] at war with the Dutch forces in the nineteenth century.

In the course of pre-independence history, several times the ethnic Chinese were targeted mass murder or looting, such as the massacre in Batavia in 1740 and the wartime massacre of Java 1825-1830.

When the economy is the world shifted to the industrial sector, most Chinese people ready to try with the food-beverage business specialties, herbal medicine, home appliances, building materials, spinning, batik, clove and transportation. In 1909 in Buitenzorg (Bogor) SI Trade Islamiyah was established by RA Tirtoadisuryo follow the model of Siang Hwee (Chinese chamber of commerce) which was formed in 1906 in Batavia. Even the establishment of Islamic SI (SI) in Surakarta is inseparable from the influence of an earlier association created by Chinese citizens. The founder of SI, Haji Samanhudi, at the beginning was a member of Sing Kong, please-help community organizations of the Chinese in Surakarta. Samanhudi also later formed the Kong Sing Rekso Rumekso his Javanese.

Movement
Dutch colonial government increasingly worried by Sun Yat-sen proclaimed the Republic of China, in January 1912. Chinese organizations which was originally engaged in socio-cultural field began to lead to politics. The goal is to eliminate discriminatory treatment of Chinese people in the Netherlands Indies in the field of education, legal / judicial, civil status, tax burdens, barriers to movement and residence.

In the implementation of the Ethical Policy, the colonial government tried to promote education, but Chinese citizens are not included in the program. Though the Chinese pay a double tax (income tax and wealth tax). Income tax required of the indigenous people who are not farmers. Property taxes (house, horses, trains, motor vehicles and household appliances) are only charged for Foreign Persons and Eastern Europe (including the ethnic Chinese).

Sin Po, a Chinese Malay newspapers are also very much to contribute in spreading information that is nationalist. In the 1920s, the daily Sin Po Indonesia pioneered the use of the word as a substitute for native Dutch word inlanders in all publications. This step was followed by many other newspapers. As his debts, all the local press and then replace the word "Tjina" with the word Chinese. Liem Koen Hian in 1931 founded the PTI, the Chinese Party of Indonesia (and not Tjina Party of Indonesia).


Pre Revolutionary Period and Independence

In a physical struggle there are several fighters from among the Chinese, but their names are not many recorded and reported. One of the recognized is Tony Wen, namely those involved in the decline of the Dutch flag at the Hotel Orange Surabaya.

Old Order
In the Old Order, there are several ministers of the Republic of Indonesia of Chinese descent as Oei Tjoe Tat, Ong Eng Die, Siauw Jade Tjhan, etc.. Oei Tjoe Tat even been appointed as one of the Right Hand Ir. Sukarno during Dwikora. At this time the relationship Ir. Sukarno with some figures from the Chinese can be said to be very good. Although there are several in the Old Order's discriminatory policies such as Government Regulation no. 10 of 1959 which prohibits foreigners Chinese for retail trade in areas outside the provincial capital and district. This raises a broad impact on the distribution of goods and eventually became one of the causes of economic slump and the other by the year 1965.

New Order
During the New Order made the application of the provisions of Letter of Proof of Citizenship of the Republic of Indonesia, or more popularly called SBKRI, which are mainly targeted to citizens of Indonesia (WNI) ethnic Chinese and their descendants. Although these provisions are administrative in nature, is essentially the application of SBKRI synonymous with the efforts of Chinese citizens who put in the position of the legal status of citizens are "questionable".

Daily is administered and supervised by the Indonesian military in this regard is the Armed Forces although some Indonesian Chinese are also working there. Chinese traditional religion is prohibited. As a result, Confucianism lost government recognition.

The New Order government argued that the Chinese citizens whose population when it reaches approximately 5 million of the entire people of Indonesia is feared to spread the influence of communism in the country. In fact, the reality says that most of their work as traders, who certainly contrary to what is taught by communism, a very forbidding trade was done.

The Chinese kept out of practical political life. Others prefer to avoid politics for fear of her safety.

At the end of the New Order period, there were racial riots which is the darkest of events for the Indonesian people, especially Chinese people since the unrest led to the downfall of many victims and many of them experienced sexual harassment, looting, violence, and others.

Reformation
Reforms that have been widely rolled out in 1998 led to changes to the lives of Chinese citizens in Indonesia. Although not 100% change is happening, but it is already showing the trend of changing views of government and indigenous people towards the Chinese community. When the New Order era characters, cultural attractions or banned Chinese paraded in public, has now become a common sight for this. In Medan, North Sumatra, for example, are common when using the Hokkien Chinese citizens or Chinese characters displayed in the shop or house. In addition, on Election 2004, presidential and vice presidential candidate Megawati-Hasyim Wahid use Chinese characters in a flyer campaign to attract Chinese citizens.
