The "Non-Ethnic Chinese'' Approach However, it appears that the approach is still strong. Many Chinese prefer to stay in indigenous-dominated parties. For instance Kwik (mentioned earlier) remains in the PDI (the Megawati Sukarnoputri setback for faction Kwik commented that the formation of Parti is are already Indonesian nation-building. The majority of the Chinese integrated and to revive ethnic parties would have a negative impact on nation-building. He did not think that such an ethnic party would benefit the Chinese Indonesians. It is noteworthy that Lieus, who had changed his name to an Indonesian form, insisted on establishing an ethnic Chinese party while Kwik, who retains his Chinese name, is in the forefront of Indonesian nationalism Many ethnic Chinese prefer not to form political parties but to work with associations and pressure groups to fight discrimination. They have also been willing to work together with like-minded Indonesians in new outfits. For instance, a group of activists and lawyers established a youth committee on 5 June 1998, the same day that the Parti was formed. Ester Indahyani Yusuf, a peranakan lawyer, leads this group, which is called the Komite Pemuda Indonesia untuk Penghapusan Diskriminasi Ras (KPIPDR, Indonesian Youth Committee for the Eradication of Racial Discrimination) Many prominent indigenous and Chinese Indonesians attended the inauguration, held at the Lembaga Bantuan Hukum (Legal Aid Institute) Ester, who is the chairperson of the programme, is working for the eradication of Indonesian laws discriminating against the ethnic Chinese. They formed the Solidaritas Nusa Bangsa (National Solidarity Group) to help the victims of recent racial violence, who were mainly ethnic Chinese. s At the time of writing, another group of prominent Chinese is preparing to form an association to improve the "WNI" position. the term "WNI" is an acronym for "Indonesian citizens'', but is used to refer to "Indonesian citizens of Chinese descent". This group includes Christianto Wibisono, a leading Chinese Indonesian intellectual and Ong Hok Ham, a leading historian
