Estimates vary but there are tens of thousands of Indonesian Chinese residing in Hong Kong. A few came directly to the British colony or made their way through Singapore, but the vast majority first tried their luck in mainland China. Once alienated by deteriorating conditions in Southeast Asia and often enthused with the idealistic promise of Mao's revolution, they voted with their feet a second time when, after becoming disenchanted with life in mainland China, many fled to Hong Kong. The authors report on the situation of the Indonesian Chinese in Hong Kong. (DÜI-Sen)
