Chapter 828: Indonesia in May

Chapter 828 Indonesia in May

It only took Zhang Ke to return to Jianye for a week, and Tang Yingpei was also handed over by the Jianye police to the Jiangnan Provincial Public Security Department for investigation. The lineup was huge. Shortly after the members were selected by the joint investigation team, many personal injury cases involved in Huaxi Group surfaced, and many unsolved cases also pointed directly at Huaxi Group.

Some cases are even filed with the Ministry of Public Security, but due to local slackness, they have never been able to be investigated.

At this time, the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government initially realized the seriousness of the problem. Huaxi Group is a super-large gang of gang-like economic crimes parasitic in Zhangzhou. The amount of wealth illegally plundered in hundreds of millions of dollars each year, even exceeding the local fiscal revenue of Zhangzhou. It has been breeding for more than ten years. The province seems to have no idea about this. Doesn’t that mean that the protective umbrella of this criminal gang is extremely huge?

While the Jianye police handed over Tang Yingpei, the Jiangnan Provincial Public Security Department joined hands with officers and soldiers of the Provincial Armed Police Corps to arrest many core members of the Huaxi Group and take them back to Jinshan for trial.

Of course, some people will try to prevent the case from being investigated in depth, and the layers of pressure will eventually be transmitted to Liang Weifa. After all, Liang Weifa is pushing to thoroughly investigate the problem of Zhangzhou. Liang Weifa does not need to deliberately resist these pressures. There is another force that pushes the case of Zhangzhou. It is this force that keeps other officials in the province silent on the Zhangzhou issue, for fear of being slutty. Even if there is something involved, as long as it is not deeply involved, they will only try every means to clear it up, and they will step in deep into the darkness.

The whole month of May seems to be unremarkable, if there were no major anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia on May 9.

On May 9, a political movement in Indonesia that was originally against the Suharto regime was a political movement. Due to the secret participation of the Indonesian military, it evolved into a serious anti-Chinese riot in the Indian capital Jakarta and other places, four days earlier than the history that occurred.

The anti-Chinese riots were not without signs. In March and April, Indonesia had many planned riots against Chinese people, and even traced back to the intensive violent cases against Chinese people that occurred in the end of 1997. Race topics are becoming increasingly eager to be discussed by the media in Indonesia. In order to divert their incompetence when the Asian financial crisis came, the Indonesian government even publicly hinted many times that it was "Chinese Indonesians plundered Indonesian wealth in this financial crisis", thinking about shifting people's attention to racial conflicts.

However, the scale of violence before May 9 was relatively small and did not bring enough attention from the international community.

Slightly different from the history that happened before, after multiple violent incidents against Chinese in Indonesia between March and April, secret funds have been funded by several international human rights organizations and international media to enter Indonesia for humanitarian investigations.

The things that individuals can do are actually very limited and cannot prevent the occurrence of atrocities and riots. Zhang Ke considered that the only thing he could do was to spread the news in a timely manner after the atrocities occurred, and to disclose them through international media to form international public opinion pressure on the Indonesian government to stop the further spread of atrocities.

News of the riot on the 9th had already spread throughout Jakarta. At this time, Indonesian President Suharto attended the meeting in Egypt in a very timely manner. The main generals of the Indonesian military happened to gather in East Java to attend a ceremony. Observers and international media reporters sent by international human rights organizations to Jakarta were sensitively smelling the danger.

From the afternoon of the 9th to late at night, Jakarta experienced many violent incidents against Chinese people. Since it had not yet evolved into a major riot, even if news came out of Jakarta, international media treated the news coldly due to news effects.

Quantum Online published some news releases in a timely manner and did not attract enough attention. The Chinese Embassy in Indonesia also had a very cold response. At this time, there was no violent tendency against the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia. The embassy's official response was that it should not interfere in Indonesia's internal affairs and would continue to pay attention to subsequent events.

Zhang Ke did not dare to arrange employees to stay in Indonesia during such a special period. In fact, he had previously used the excuse of the Asian financial crisis that Indonesia was the worst disaster area to withdraw all its business in Indonesia. He could not even let Quantun Online News reporters go to Jakarta at this time. During the atrocities, it would be extremely dangerous for any Chinese-faced person to appear on the streets of Jakarta, let alone record the atrocities. Quantun Online News Department shared the news source in Indonesia with a private European news agency.

Not only does Nick Lisen have no good feelings for Indonesia, but he can even be said to be disgusted. In the first few years he entered the financial industry, he worked in a financial company in Jakarta, Indonesia. I believe that he did not leave a good impression on him during that period. After Nick Lisen secretly took charge of hedge funds for Zhang Ke and others, he has always been very interested in the Indonesian rupiah. Even though the Asian currency market is relatively calm during this period, he has not given up focusing on the fat piece of Indonesian rupiah. In addition to Hong Kong, his team and his team have been in Indonesia for a large part of the time. The Indonesian rupiah fell sharply, and it was simply paradise to consume in Indonesia with the US dollar. Nick Lisen even witnessed several atrocities against Chinese people in Indonesia after the New Year. He also knew that the phenomenon of racial discrimination against Chinese is a relatively common phenomenon in Indonesian society, but condoning violent crimes against Chinese is a new tendency that emerged after the Asian financial crisis.

It is natural for Zhang Ke to arrange funds through Nick Lisen to sponsor international human rights organizations and the media to conduct humanitarian investigations in Indonesia.

On the night of the 9th, Nick Lisen lived in a hotel in the center of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. He did not come specifically for possible riots. He keenly felt that the Indonesian rupiah might have further setbacks. At the right time, it became Zhang Ke's direct eyes and ears in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Zhang Ke did not let others participate. All the news gathered, which showed that the Indonesian anti-Chinese riots would break out in the past or two days. In those days, he lived in a lakeside hut on the north bank of Yangui Lake and sent Zhai Danqing back to Xinwu to deal with the matter of the electronics industry supporting park.

On the night of the 9th, when the riots were about to break out, Zhang Ke and Guo Songyan, who was in Malaysia, called: "The wind in Indonesia seems to be something wrong. Even I heard the news of the riots in China spreading on the streets of Jakarta..."

In March and April, violent crimes against Chinese people were too intensive in Indonesia and have attracted the attention of international human rights organizations; but Guo Songyan did not know that most of the international human rights organizations and international media that went to Indonesia for investigation in March and April were funded by Zhang Ke through secret overseas accounts. Guo Songyan had received reports that the Indonesian government had a tendency to condone violent crimes against Chinese people. Yunyuan Group has a large amount of investment in Indonesia and has always been paying attention to Indonesia's trends, but before May he had not realized that a major crisis against Chinese people was brewing in Indonesia.

By the night of the 9th, Guo Songyan no longer doubted the possibility of a major riot. He had previously notified Yunyuan Group's Chinese employees in Indonesia to pay attention to self-protection of left-behind factories and communicated with Zhang Ke on the cross-border phone. In the case of being indifferent in all aspects, he could only inform the Singapore government. The Malaysian government's attitude towards Chinese people is not very friendly. The Chinese have never had a high political status in Malaysia, while Singapore is completely a country established by overseas Chinese in Malacca. The Prophet Singapore government is the best choice at the moment.

The riot suddenly broke out on the morning of the 10th, as if several violent incidents on the night of the 9th were just a few preview raindrops before the storm came.

Zhang Ke, who had been sitting in a wooden house by the lake for a night, saw the early morning sun climbing up the oak branches on the lakeside in the east, and planned to make a cup of coffee for himself to fill his stomach, he received a call from Nick Lisen in the hotel.

Just over a dozen minutes before the call, many Indonesians suddenly flocked to a large shopping mall in front of the hotel where Nick Lisen checked and robbed them. They fought against the Chinese clerk in the store and heard that they had blatantly raped the Chinese woman in the shopping mall. They finally set fire to the shopping mall when they left.

In his past life, Zhang Ke only saw the report on the riots in Indonesia in 1998 in 1998. At that time, he was already tragic and angry. At this time, he had to experience the atrocities of Indonesia's anti-Chinese atrocities in this way, and the feeling was even worse! In order to make himself feel better, or to make some judgments calmly, Zhang Ke only listened to the verbal descriptions on the phone, and did not look at the news pictures sent back.

The riot broke out almost at the same time in the main neighborhoods of Jakarta, and Jakarta suddenly fell into chaos. Since the riots had just happened, there was not enough evidence to prove that this was a bloody atrocities against Chinese people. CCTV even broadcasted the Indonesian riots in the midday news.

Until the afternoon of the 10th, a large amount of timely news information from Jakarta and other parts of Indonesia spread through Singapore, which confirmed that the Indonesian Chinese were the main target of the bloody riot.

Robbery against Chinese and rape of Chinese women have occurred in every corner of Jakarta. From morning to afternoon, nearly 100 thugs rape or tragedy of Chinese women have occurred on the streets of Jakarta. Almost all the more famous Chinese shopping malls in the Jakarta commercial district have been set on fire by thugs. There are countless commercial buildings, houses, and shops. The streets are full of burning buildings and cars, and smoke is rolling everywhere. However, no police and military appear in the entire Jakarta area - the police and military are standing by.

Only then did someone suddenly realize the harsh nature of the Indonesian riots.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ke received a call from Ma Xiangdong in Beijing, saying that Quanteng Online received a fax notice from relevant departments, demanding that all reports of Indonesian riots be deleted. The government has decided to deal with the incident in China.

Zhang Ke knew the meaning of Ma Xiangdong calling, so he could only tell Ma Xiangdong in a calm and heartbreaking tone: "The reports on domestic websites have been deleted completely, and the government's own government's considerations are not something we can guess."

The Chinese issue of China and Indonesia has always been sensitive. In the late 1990s, China's military strategic layout in Myanmar and Thailand has not been completed. The Strait of Malacca, as the only channel for China's overseas oil transportation, is controlled at one end in the hands of Indonesia. The extremely moderate diplomatic attitude in China seems to be understandable. The key is that the country's confidence is not strong enough. In the process of China's rise, countless people like Zhou Jinxi betrayed the interests of the country for their own selfish interests.

Zhang Ke can only hope that a large amount of news information can be spread from Indonesia in a timely manner and disclosed through international media to attract widespread attention from the international community. Even if it is an hour or a quarter of an hour in advance, all this effort is worth it.

It’s just a pity that Quantum Online’s overseas website has just been built and has almost no impact in overseas Chinese groups. Zhang Ke was particularly able to deeply feel the power of the media network to penetrate into the bones of the contemporary social system. What he can do now is very limited. He is more concerned about watching Guo Songyan, Sun Shangyi and others contact overseas media to disclose the anti-Chinese atrocities that are breaking out in Indonesia, especially allowing overseas Chinese groups to unite to stop the anti-Chinese atrocities that are breaking out in Indonesia.

The Singapore media and government, which are so close, reacted the most timely. After Quantum Online's domestic website deleted reports on Indonesia's anti-Chinese riots, Zhang Ke spent most of his time paying attention to the changes in the situation in Jakarta through Singapore International Online's website. Of course, there were also Nick Lisen in this situation or Guo Songyan's phone call in Malaysia, and the Malaysian Chinese media also reported on the atrocities that occurred in Indonesia in a timely manner. However, the influence of the Chinese media in Singapore and Malaysia is still limited.

The Singapore government decided to open Zhangyi International Airport 24 hours a day at 2:00 p.m. on the 10th, and the United States, Japan and others delayed until they saw the situation in Jakarta continue to deteriorate and uncontrollable.

The atrocities became more unscrupulous and bloody under the cover of the night. The truly influential disclosure of Indonesia's anti-Chinese atrocities was published by the New York Times on the morning of the 11th. The report of the New York Times made the Indonesian anti-Chinese riots spread rapidly around the world. More international media sent reporters to Jakarta after seeing the New York Times' reports.

Until the early morning of the 12th, under the pressure of international public opinion, the police in Jakarta and other parts of Indonesia sent police officers on the streets as if they had received a call. Even so, the corners of Jakarta's streets and remote areas in Indonesia were still unscrupulously committing atrocities against Chinese.

The large-scale anti-Chinese riot was carried out for 40 hours. Although it was nearly half shorter than the Indonesian anti-Chinese riot that once occurred, thousands of Indonesian Chinese still fell into a miserable situation like a nightmare.

It was only then that the Indonesian government suddenly remembered the need to cover up their ugly faces and began to restrict news channels and the Internet. They seemed to never understand why a large amount of news materials were transmitted abroad in time at the beginning of the outbreak.

There is probably no country that is more hated by Chinese people around the world than Indonesia. Zhang Ke thought so in his heart and always thought so.

On the night of the 12th, Indonesia's large-scale anti-Chinese riots had basically subsided, but small-scale violent crimes against Chinese have not been completely curbed. With the influx of a large number of international media reporters and observers of international human rights organizations, the situation will be further controlled.

Zhang Ke walked out of the lakeside hut and felt like he was about to be exhausted. He sat on a bench under the oak tree by the lake, looking at the lake with dark waves, and recalling the Indonesian anti-Chinese riots that he had experienced in the past few days, he felt bitter in his mouth.

Although the Indonesian anti-Chinese riots have caused strong indignation in overseas Chinese communities, Quantun Online broadcasts the Indonesian anti-Chinese riots on Hong Kong's mirror website and Hong Kong media such as Ming Pao, which aroused strong indignation among Hong Kong people. On the afternoon of the 11th, the Indonesian Consulate in Hong Kong was surrounded by angry Hong Kong people for demonstrations and protests. The gate of the consulate was also poured with black paint, and countless eggs and bricks smashed the consulate's window glass to pieces. The Hong Kong police had to mobilize police forces to block the angry people from the cordon.

The mainland is extremely calm, as if Indonesia's anti-Chinese riots have never happened.

When she received a call from Tang Jing, the girl was still sobbing sadly on the phone. I’m sorry to let her see a real, extremely ugly world. Zhang Ke could only comfort her softly on the phone: “The things we can do now are very limited, and our government’s attitude will not always be so gentle. The nightmare will pass soon, I will go to Hong Kong to see you tomorrow.”

The spring in Jianye is very short, so short that it almost makes people unable to notice the arrival of spring. When the steep spring weather passed, the temperature in Jianye suddenly heated up. Even in the middle of May, even if you only wear a long-sleeved shirt, you won’t feel cold. Since you haven’t officially slept for the past few days, Zhang Ke’s body was a little weak and she still felt a little cold in a sports shirt. When he walked to Xuefu Lane, there was a midnight snack stall at the entrance of the alley, which provided hot and cold drinks, browns, boiled corn, and five-spice eggs. The stall owner was a pretty woman in her thirties. There was a girl of six or seven who helped sell things. It seemed to be a mother and daughter - I had never seen it before.

Zhang Ke didn't remember whether he had eaten today. Fu Jun did his duty to prepare food, but he was not in the mood to eat in the house. He walked out and felt extremely weak, so he thought about eating something, otherwise he would not be able to do anything.

Zhang Ke asked for a palm and a cup of coffee. The stall had coffee provided by the night snack stall. Zhang Ke was still a little surprised. The stall owner peeled off the reed leaves and then put the palm and served it to Zhang Ke. After filling the palm and coffee, Zhang Ke felt that he felt like he was coming back.

"How much?" Zhang Ke asked the stall owner, and when he reached into his pocket, he realized that he didn't remember to take out his wallet.

"Print one yuan, coffee three yuan, a total of four yuan..." The stall owner was busy greeting others, but did not notice Zhang Ke's embarrassment. He still pulled the little girl's sleeve tube when she saw Zhang Ke's appearance and then realized it. He smiled and said, "I didn't bring the money with me, right? It's not a big deal, just remember to send it to me."

Zhang Ke coughed twice, thanked her, and said goodbye, and left. He started coughing again after walking not far away. It was not embarrassment, but he was somewhat allergic to the sycamore flying catkins in Jianye Spring. From mid-April to the next month, Zhang Ke always coughed for several days. The effect of the drug treatment was extremely small, and it was not as serious as the major surgery. Zhang Ke was very familiar with his own situation. The doctors would occasionally take one or two pills of medicine as appropriate, and most of the time they would choose to forget the matter of taking medicine. In the eyes of Zhai Danqing, Sun Jingmeng and others, Zhang Ke seemed to have psychological allergies to medicine, and perhaps he was stubborn and stubborn.

Four rows of tall French sycamore trees were planted in the outer streets of Xuefu Lane. Zhang Ke naturally would not feel particularly good when he walked into this place. He did not want to wear a deep mask, which made people misunderstand that it would be troublesome to rob.

Zhang Ke walked into the Internet cafe with a cough, and looked at Chen Xiao at the front of the comprehensive bar and said to her: "Power me to turn on a computer..."

"Ah, do you want to surf the Internet here?" Chen Xiao looked at Zhang Ke strangely.

"Oh, I don't know what's wrong. I'm too slow to go to the campus network in the apartment... I'm going to BBS," Zhang Ke pointed to the empty seat on the first floor and said, "I'll just sit there."

The server of Dongda BBS is set up in the Chuangyu Network Cafe, and you can directly connect to the server of Dongda BBS in the Internet Cafe.

Chen Xiao took out the employee card and opened a computer for Zhang Ke. Zhang Ke sat down and took out a flash drive the size of a palm. No one knew this thing after reading it. Zhang Ke also had to reverse the chassis and plug the adapter cable into the interface behind. While waiting for the flash memory to install the driver, he opened the forum of Dongda Campus Network.

BBS was indeed in peace. CCTV and Quantun Online and other few media only published news about the riots in Indonesia, and did not report that the riots were targeting the Indonesian Chinese. On the afternoon of the 10th, the mainstream media collectively lost their voices. The overseas news had not yet reached the country in time. Ordinary people and students had no idea what happened. Log in to an account that had been registered for a long time but had not used. Enter the text "The whole story of Indonesia's anti-Chinese riots in 5.9" in the newly opened post title column, and then publish the news information on the flash drive to the forum of Dongda BBS in the form of replies.

After the release, Zhang Ke turned off the computer, greeted Chen Xiao, and said, "I'm going to bed. If Du Fei and the others want to find me, they will say I'll go back to sleep."

Zhang Ke woke up the ringtone of his cell phone in his dreamy sleep. He opened his eyes and the sunlight shone in through the glass window. It was already late to see the light. He took out his cell phone from under the pillow. It was Du Fei's call. After answering, he said, "Didn't you say I'm sleeping?"

"There are a lot of trouble outside. The school called Shi Xinfei and others to delete all posts about the Indonesian anti-Chinese riots, and pushed Shi Xinfei and others back. Chen Jian, the director of the Student Affairs Office, and Gong Ruchun from the Youth League Committee, all went to the Internet cafe in person, and asked Shi Xinfei and others to track down who had uploaded the post in the first place..." Du Fei said on the phone, "What do you think?"

"Oh, I'll come here later." Zhang Ke hung up the phone and washed up before going downstairs.

I have never seen so many people on the Internet cafe on Tuesday morning, and there was no one at any time. Every computer was surrounded by people. Looking at the expressions of the students staring at the screen in front of the computer, it was no different from the previous life when I first saw the anti-Chinese incident in Indonesia. It was deeply shocked and angered by the cruel atrocities of racial discrimination in Indonesia. Zhang Ke stood in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling window of the Internet cafe for a while, and went up to the third floor from the stairs on the outside.

The campus BBS was originally set up by members of the Chuang Club, and the school also decided to manage the Chuangyuan Internet Cafe. Later, the BBS server was set up inside the Internet cafe. Although the Chuang Club was disbanded, the Bug Sky Studio was reorganized, and Shi Xinfei and others still volunteered to manage the Dongda BBS.

When I walked to the third floor, I heard a very harsh voice roaring inside: "You are destroying your future. When is it so unorganized and disciplined? If I want you to delete it, you must delete it honestly. Who posted the first post? You must also give me the information of the poster and wait for the school to handle it."

Zhang Ke pushed open the door with a dark face. Chen Jian, director of the Student Affairs Office, was standing in the center of the large office with a mighty roar. Gong Ruchun stood beside him with a gloomy face without saying a word. Du Fei, Meng Le, Shi Xinfei, Xi Ruolin, Ling Xiaoyan, and Qin Gang were all standing there, which was difficult to decide.

Qin Gang said on the side: "There is no notice that the spread of Indonesia's anti-Chinese riots is prohibited. Should we just clean up some posts that are too intense in time? As for who posted the post, I don't think there is any need to pursue it..."

"Xiao Qin, you have been a student for so many years, but you have no vigilance or awareness at all. Who will take care of it after a scourge? Do you still have to help Secretary Gong help you? No matter what the notice says, Dongda University cannot cause trouble, and this post must be deleted!" Chen Jian said.

"I uploaded the post," Zhang Ke stood by the door, glanced at everyone, and stopped on Shen Jian's face, "My name is Zhang Ke, I guess you have heard my name too..."

"..." Chen Jian turned around and suppressed Zhang Keling's aura, and he couldn't speak for a moment.

"I was panicked when I encountered something, fearing that the students would cause a big mess when they knew the truth. The relevant departments asked major media to deal with the news of the anti-Chinese riot in Indonesia in a cold manner, but did not require the dissemination of relevant information; the relevant departments required the school to do a good job in students' stable work, but did not require the students' ears and eyes to be covered - the so-called vigilance and so-called awareness are just to castrate all the college students of this generation and let them not cause any trouble for you like a group of donkeys or hybrid mules!" Zhang Ke stared at Chen Jian aggressively. Seeing that he was speechless, he turned his head and said to Du Fei, "Whether other posts should be cleaned up and you should be kept? My posts are kept. Who wants to hold him accountable? Let him come to me!"

Zhang Ke didn't look at Chen Jian's face, his own face was also ashen. His eyes were cold and swept across the people in the office, turned around and walked out again.

"What's this attitude! This student is a life-threatening thorn in the State Business School. I'll go to see Cui Guoheng later to see what he does?" Chen Jian remembered to get angry after Zhang Ke turned around and left. He looked at Gong Ruchun in anger, but had to suppress his voice and said, "And this post, Secretary Gong, you are the instructor of the Chuangye Association and Campus Network. What do you think you will deal with it?"

"There is no basis, and it is not easy to forcibly ban it," Gong Ruchun said lightly, "Besides, deleting posts now may not necessarily help students to stabilize their work. Big-character posters have been posted on the poster wall. Let's report to Principal Li before making a decision on this matter."

Chen Jian regarded this matter as a big thing. Seeing Gong Ruchun being slow, he was anxious and unable to lose his temper with Gong Ruchun. He wanted to speak but stopped, so he shook his hand and left.

Gong Ruchun then ordered Qin Gang and said, "Cleaning out some posts with excessively extreme words in time. You'd better arrange two or three people to be on duty. I think the school will hold a special meeting soon. Even if the school does not hold a meeting, the Youth League Committee will hold a meeting. You must let me contact your people in time."

Although Gong Ruchun is not as soft as Chen Jian, it is still quite troublesome to be unable to control the students' emotions and go out to the streets to march.

Zhang Ke walked into a porridge shop for breakfast. Before his butt was hot, Lu Wenfu called in.

Chen Jian called Cui Guoheng to complain, and Zhang Ke made trouble. Cui Guoheng could only tell Lu Wenfu the matter first, which seemed to have become a habit.

"Quenten Online is highly consistent with relevant central departments, and promptly dealt with the news of Indonesia's anti-Chinese riots, and did not conduct high-density tracking reports; I am now just posting on the BBS of Dongda University as a student. If the Dongda University decides after research and decision, I think that posting such a post is not appropriate, I will actively cooperate to delete the post." Zhang Ke clamped his phone in his neck, sat in a plastic chair and was sitting on the ban on dangerous positions. He spoke to Lu Wenfu on the phone, but he had a huge question in his heart: Why do so many people choose to survive in a self-castration way? This huge psychological shadow hanging over the entire nation seems to be able to trace back to the literary inquisition tradition of the Qing Dynasty.

Just as Gong Ruchun said, it is no longer a question of whether to delete the post or not. The big-word paper has been quickly posted in every corner of the campus, and the news pictures of Indonesia's anti-Chinese riots have also been copied in large quantities on campus. By noon, the students who were unable to vent their grief and anger were surging to march on the streets. Principal Li Hongming personally blocked the school gate to dissuade the students.

Zhang Ke was already on the plane to Hong Kong at this time. After getting off the plane, he spoke on the phone with Du Fei and heard that he was still unable to go out to the streets in the end. The school organized students from various departments to hold protests on the playground, which was considered to be a ventilator.
Chapter completed!
