Q & A

What was the initial reason for Chinese migration to the archipelago?

The initial reason for Chinese migration to the archipelago was trade, which began as early as the 5th century. Chinese traders established trade relations with Java, and over time, many Chinese immigrants settled in coastal regions, contributing to the local economy.

Why did the Dutch East India Company (VOC) bring Chinese workers to Batavia?

The VOC brought Chinese workers to Batavia to support the local economy. The Chinese were seen as valuable for trade and labor, especially in developing Batavia and surrounding areas, to aid the Dutch in consolidating their economic power.

How did the VOC attempt to control the influx of Chinese immigrants to the archipelago?

The VOC implemented strict measures to control the influx of Chinese immigrants. These included requiring Chinese people to obtain an official permit (called 'fes'), which was expensive and often subject to exploitation. Those without permits faced deportation or were forced to work in Sri Lanka.

What were some of the abuses faced by the Chinese under the VOC's permit system?

The VOC monopolized the issuance of permits, setting prices too high for many Chinese immigrants to afford. This created opportunities for corruption, with VOC officials often extorting money from the Chinese community, resulting in widespread bribery and financial exploitation.

What was the significance of the 1740 Chinese rebellion in Batavia?

The 1740 Chinese rebellion in Batavia marked a major uprising against the VOC's oppressive policies. It was triggered by growing dissatisfaction with VOC exploitation and discrimination, and it led to violent clashes between the Chinese community and the Dutch authorities, causing widespread unrest.

Who was Oi Pango (Ke Pangjang), and what role did he play in the Chinese resistance?

Oi Pango, also known as Ke Pangjang, was a notable leader of the Chinese rebellion in Java. He played a central role in organizing resistance against the VOC, particularly in central Java. His efforts were part of a larger uprising that spread across the region, challenging the VOC’s authority.

How did the Chinese rebellion in 1740 impact both the Chinese community and the VOC?

The VOC, on the other hand, faced economic disruptions and military casualties as a result of the rebellion.

What were the key causes of resistance movements in Indonesia before the 20th century?
