In May 1998, people across China were irrepressibly indignant because of the riots in Indonesia. Within a week, thousands of Chinese-Indonesian (CI) were massacred in extremely atrocious way.

In those days, a photo made a deep impression on everyone: an CI girl in school uniform was lying on the street, her head was crushed by a truck, and her brains were scattered in all directions.

The government did not issue any condemnatory statement to the brutalities because the government knew that the riots were internal affairs of Indonesia, and all the victims were Indonesian citizens.

In 2004, a world-shaking tsunami banged Indonesia, killing at least 200,000 people. In China, karma-believing people were cheerful, and they acclaimed: "God finally punished those barbaric monkeys!"
