Abstract
Indonesia has the highest export in Southeast Asia yet the lowest Federal Direct Investment from the Peoples’ Republic of China. This chapter uses a case study in West Kalimantan Province which has a high percentage of ethnic Chinese communities. The impact of Chinese investment in natural resource extraction is analyzed. Set in the context of the much studied relationship between large conglomerates and politico-military officials in Indonesia, case studies of ethnic Chinese businesses demonstrate three types of business and resilience attributed to local connectedness and cultural identity.
