Suharto is synonymous with "demon" for the Chinese.
The former Prime Minister of Indonesia set off a Chinese purge during his tenure. led to the death of nearly 300,000 Chinese in Indonesia. For a year, the people in Indonesia were in panic.
At this time, the Asian financial crisis broke out. With domestic prices soaring and the unemployment rate of the people soaring, Suharto took away 35 billion U.S. dollars from the country, which is equivalent to 70% of Indonesia's assets.
Suharto, who was finally forced to step down, was not punished. When he died at the age of 87, he returned to sleep with his wife Hatina.
Why can such a villain who kills without blinking escape punishment?
And what kind of deep hatred has he stained with the blood of 500,000 lives?
New friends remember to follow, leave a like, so that it is convenient to review the highlights of the past, and will not miss the latest content.
To understand Suharto, we must first start with his childhood.
The birth process of the "demon"
On June 8, 1921, with a clear cry, a little boy was born in Gemsu Village, Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia.
Although it is a joy to be happy with your son, Suharto's birth seems to be full of bad luck.
First of all, poverty is the original sin.
Suharto’s sole financial support is his father.
And his father is just a village official who irrigates farmland. He has no social security or year-end bonus, and his salary is still very meager. The family is struggling to eat and starve.
After his father died of illness, he remarried three times in order to live with Suharto's mother.
In the poor and weak Indonesian countryside at that time, the feudal ideology was also very strong. The villagers believed that if women were not widows, they had no merit, so they often gathered together to make irresponsible remarks. The children in the village were also affected by this and began to bully Suharto. Laughing at him for having many dads.
Suharto's character gradually distorted in this harsh environment. He secretly vowed to get ahead and step under his feet the people who once looked down on him.
Holding this belief, Suharto devoted all his energy to learning. In just two years, Suharto skipped a grade and completed all elementary school courses.
But because his family was too poor, Suharto had to drop out of school to work and support his family.
Suharto, who has lost his studies, always finds newspapers thrown away on the road to read.
He is not willing to give up any opportunity to improve himself.
It was also because of this tenacious perseverance that he was admitted to the military academy and changed his fate in one fell swoop.
When Suharto was on his way home from work, he saw a draft notice posted on the roadside. After serious consideration, he decided to join the ancestral defense guard.
Facts have proved that his decision is very wise.
Suharto is very good at managing military-Chinese relations. Not only is he very familiar with the world, but he is also very reliable. He was soon promoted to a sergeant in the army and joined the Dutch colonial government by the way.
Suharto, who stood firm in the army, began his life of displacement. He moved to the Netherlands, Japan, and Indonesia successively.
However, this kind of life lacking a sense of belonging did not make him dependent on feelings, but deepened his greed for power. He believes that power is his greatest sense of security.
World War began in 1942. The Japanese invaded Indonesia fiercely. Suharto joined the ancestral defense team and made great achievements. By 1960, Suharto had become the commander of the Army's General Reserve Corps.
Suharto, who has military power in his hands, is gradually dissatisfied with this, because he finds that the more shining presidential position is only one step away from him.
In order to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, he even began to get close to the Chinese. Not only did he visit China three times, but he also often showed his resolute anti-imperialist and anti-feudal determination in front of the media.
Subverting the Indonesian regime, Suharto exposed his wolf ambition
In fact, Suharto chose to get close to the Chinese because there were nearly 3 million Indonesian Communists in Indonesia at that time.
If he can get the support of this force, Suharto's road to promotion will go more securely.
However, some of the Indonesian army officers opposed Suharto's pro-China tendency and planned to rebel in private, which also contributed to the subsequent 930 incident.
On September 30, 1965, Weng Dongzhong, commander of the third battalion of the Presidential Guard, saw through the rebellion plan and wiped out the reactionaries, while Suharto kept himself out of the matter.
Afterwards, Suharto actually beat him up and claimed on October 1st that it was a coup d’état planned by Weng Dongzhong.
So Weng Dongzhong lost his position, and Suharto also succeeded in becoming the president in this coup.
After taking office, he took off all his disguise and completely exposed his greed to the sun.
Suharto has always attached great importance to Indonesia's economic development. After all, he will not be able to make any money without development.
Therefore, he continued to develop mineral resources and introduced foreign capital, and Indonesia's economy has indeed achieved a qualitative leap during this period.
Then it was time to cut the leeks. The Suharto family monopolized important domestic industries, resources and the management rights of some enterprises.The more the country develops, the richer his entire family becomes. In the end, Suharto's wealth has become too much to estimate.
alone has as many as 3,200 companies in the country that he has equity in. A conservative estimate of his assets is 20 billion US dollars. is just his wealth in Indonesia.
does not include unknown overseas assets. If you add up his children's assets, the figure is quite amazing.
So the public directly banned him from calling "the world's number one corrupt official" .
By this time Suharto had realized his childhood ideals and became a master, and he also harvested a large wave of wealth. The next thing that bothered him most was how to maintain the status quo.
Suharto thought about who was sorry for himself in this struggle. Later, he thought that China had aided the former President Sukarno regime in the struggle, so he insisted that the backer behind the huge Indonesian Communist Party was China.
So he started a frenzied behavior, that is, ordering the massacre of the Chinese.
The evil deeds are endless
Because China and Indonesia have a deep historical relationship, there are a large number of indigenous Chinese living in Indonesia.
At that time, these Chinese had a living habit, that is, they would put a bowl of chicken blood or dog blood in their homes. The reason for this was because it was rumored to ward off evil spirits.
But this time this habit not only failed to ward off evil spirits for the Chinese, but instead killed them.
Suharto used this as an intervention point, and ordered that as long as he sees the bowl of blood, he will kill him.
caused blood to flow into rivers in several villages at that time, with almost no living mouths, even the water ditches were stained red, and the corpses piled up into mountains.
This slaughter of Chinese people, Suharto is not a whim, this slaughter lasted for a full year,The number of victims was as high as 500,000, of which 300,000 were Chinese.
After a survivor recalled the disaster, she said that it was not only a massacre, but the army also set fire to the house and tortured young women, but the surrounding police and army turned a deaf ear.
In addition to purging the Chinese, Suharto also tried to get the army to intervene in the high-level government. Because Suharto was born in the army and the army is his important backing, he arranged many officers to serve in the government, and he has a good name. It said that the implementation of "dual functions".
Because of Suharto’s backing, many military officers began to behave, causing the Indonesian people to live out of their lives and complain.
But he strictly controls the media’s right to speak, so that the people’s demands have nowhere to vent, and the entire country is shrouded in gray.
In order to brainwash the people, Suharto pushed all crimes to China. He claimed that the reason why Indonesia became chaotic was because the Communist Party was stalking it, so in Indonesia at the time, there were more The second anti-Chinese, anti-Chinese parade.
caused some Chinese shops to be beaten, smashed and burned.
Although Suharto was so damaging to the country and the people, he still served for 30 years, during which time he continued to brainwash the people and earn money across the country.
Home search
Although Suharto had a strong momentum when he took office, he was ousted afterwards. The main reason for him to step down was an economic crisis that permeated Southeast Asia.
This caused a devastating blow to the entire Indonesian economy. The number of unemployed people even reached 70% at one time, which became the last straw to crush the camels.
Under the condemnation of all parties in society, Suharto had to step down.
But after he stepped down, Suharto lived more easily.
He became very low-key, planning to stay away from the political center and live abroad.
But the aftermath of the autumn has spread from the people,People have asked state agencies to review Suharto’s property because not long ago, the New York Times of the United States published inside stories about the Suharto family’s corruption and violation of the law.
After the global corruption list released by the United Nations, Suharto's entire family ranked first, due to pressure from all walks of life.
The Indonesian government had to investigate Suharto and Suharto was detained.
However, he has escaped interrogation again and again because of his health.
He didn't get the corresponding punishment until he died at the age of 87.
The death of this demon can be said to have made many people want to celebrate with gongs and drums. Although he has also contributed to Indonesia's GDP , all this is just to satisfy his own selfish desires.
Even though the massacre has passed for decades, it was a nightmare that the survivors at that time did not want to recall.
I also hope that there will be no more leaders like Suharto in the world in the future.
