In the last two days, the name of this country has been screened on the major social platforms, because the situation in Indonesia is now very turbulent. According to the latest report of Central TV News, mass demonstrations have erupted in several cities in Indonesia, and the situation is growing and has spread from the capital Jakarta to several regions.

On the one hand, the high subsidies of Indonesian parliamentarians have aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people. In addition to their salaries, all 580 parliamentarians can receive 50 million Indonesian rupiah every month, which is $3,075 in housing subsidies. This is almost 10 times the minimum wage in Jakarta.

Now the Indonesian people are under the pressure of rising prices, rising unemployment rate and so on, which makes the high subsidies of parliamentarians particularly dazzling. On the other hand, on August 28th, a 21-year-old motorcycle online ride-hailing driver in Indonesia was killed after being knocked down by an armored police car when riot police dispersed the protesters. This incident became the trigger for the escalation of riots.

Due to the tense situation, Indonesian President Prabowo also urgently canceled his scheduled visit to China and had to stay at home to deal with the crisis. The China Embassy in Indonesia also issued a reminder immediately, telling China citizens and institutions in Indonesia to strengthen security precautions, pay close attention to the development of the local situation, reduce unnecessary outings, and avoid going to densely populated areas.

It is worth noting that there are many Chinese living in Indonesia. At present, there are more than 20 million overseas Chinese in Indonesia, accounting for about 5% of the total population of Indonesia, of which more than 90% have become Indonesian citizens.

After the riot, many Chinese expressed their worries on social platforms, and they were very afraid of repeating the mistakes of 1998. However, they could only choose to hide at home and close their doors, hoping that the riot would end as soon as possible.

Many netizens couldn't help but sigh that, in comparison, our domestic social environment is stable, and the people also have a safe living and working environment. I also hope that Chinese people around the world can be safe and away from these turmoil and unrest.
