Abstract

Indonesian society inherits plural society of Dutch colonization. One of the major prob�lems is related to the minority ethnicity and its position towards the majority. One of the eth�nicities which receives special attention from the government is Chinese. This article is try�ing to analyse the history of Indonesia Gov�ernment Policy from Indonesian Independ�ence to Reformasi. The results show that from Indonesian Independence to The New Order era, discrimination politics to Chinese in Indo�nesia occurs. Chinese is trying to create their image being Indonesian by imitating the ma�jority’s cultural identity or practicing assimila�tion based on the location where they live. After Reformasi in 1998, the state politics changed by respecting cultures or multicultural society. Therefore, some Chinese identities start to strengthen, but most of them still fol�low the majority culture.
