Abstract

The new direction of ethnic Chinese citizenship politics in Indonesia is marked by a communal revival in non-governmental organizations, media and schools. The past of ethnic Chinese in Indonesia is indeed full of crises, but the future of Chinese citizens in Indonesia really depends on the policies of each ruling regime towards their group. The new direction of ethnic Chinese citizenship politics in Indonesia must be understood as a process of psychological rehabilitation for sentiment and antipathy towards China in the past. The interpretation of social reality and the social movements they carry out on a local scale should be appreciated and appreciated rationally and sympathetically. The government's efforts to create democratic change require much greater effort. Perhaps with the development of democratization in Indonesia, residents of Chinese descent, especially in Jakarta and Manado, will feel that there is security stability, economic growth and equal access to work so that social justice for all is truly achieved to the maximum. Thus, the central government needs to encourage the involvement of Chinese citizens in the world of local government politics at both the executive and legislative levels so that they can find the best way to deal with ethnic and religious tensions in our democratic political system.

Bahasa Abstract

Arah baru politik kewargaan etnis Tionghoa di Indonesia ditandai dengan adanya kebangkitan komunal dalam organisasi non-pemerintah, media dan sekolah. Masa lalu etnis Tionghoa di Indonesia memang penuh krisis tapi masa depan warga Tionghoa di Indonesia sangatlah bergantung pada kebijakan masing-masing rezim kekuasaan terhadap golongan mereka. Arah baru politik kewargaan etnis Tionghoa di Indonesia mestilah dipahami sebagai proses rehabilitasi psikis atas sentimen dan antipati terhadap Cina di masa lalu. Interpretasi atas realitas sosial dan gerakan sosial yang mereka lakukan pada skala lokal patut dihargai dan diapresiasi secara rasional dan simpatik. Upaya pemerintah dalam menciptakan perubahan yang demokratis memang membutuhkan usaha yang jauh lebih besar. Mungkin dengan perkembangan demokratisasi di Indonesia warga keturunan Tionghoa terutama di Jakarta dan Manado akan merasa ada stabilitas keamanan, pertumbuhan ekonomi dan pemerataan akses kerja sehingga keadilan sosial bagi seluruh memang betul-betul tercapai secara maksimal. Dengan demikian, pemerintah pusat perlu mendorong keterlibatan warga Tionghoa dalam dunia politik pemerintahan lokal baik pada level eksekutif maupun legislatif agar mereka dapat menemukan cara terbaik dalam menghadapi ketegangan suku dan agama dalam sistem politik demokrasi kita.
