During the launch of his book titled Chinese Identity in Post-Suharto Indonesia: Culture, Politics and Media in Jakarta, SMU Assistant Professor of Asian Studies Hoon Chang Yau said: “Among the resurgence of other identities in Indonesia, the visibility of the Chinese identity has increased, reflecting the success story of multiculturalism in Indonesia.” He explained that with public support, Chinese-Indonesians managed to defend their rights and liberate their long-suppressed identity in the wake of Soeharto's fall in 1998. He added that stereotyping persisted as the biggest stumbling block between indigenous Indonesians and Chinese-Indonesians.
