halt anti-china: Thanks to the efforts of Indonesian government, the volatile situation was brought under control, according to Global Times China. Keeping a cool head this time, the local authorities took immediate measures, including temporarily restricting functions of social media to halt anti-China fake news, which falsely stated that several protesters had been shot dead by police from China. The community feared that the nightmare of 1998 could return. The anti-Chinese sentiment in Indonesia is rooted in unbalanced economic development, which has created a big gap between the rich and the poor. Some Indonesians often choose to vent their anger toward the Chinese community. Some in the Chinese community are relatively wealthy.
