This writing discusses legal products that regulate the Chinese ethnic group in Indonesia. Through historical research, an investigation is conducted into the legal regulations issued by authorities since the VOC period, the Dutch colonial government, and the era of Independent Indonesia. It is understood that the position of the Chinese community in Indonesia has never been clear. By examining the legal regulations issued by these three authorities, it is found that the legal products applied to the Chinese community were built based on economic and political interests. Due to these economic and political interests, the authorities ultimately created legal products that restricted the Chinese community from interacting with other groups in Indonesia and consistently placed them in an unclear position, labeled as foreigners. These legal products influenced social life, putting this community in an ambiguous position.
