This research uses historical research methods to analyze the government's actions in trying to shut down the Chinese press and the transformation of the Chinese press to be able to continue publishing in Indonesia.

There is also a Chinese press that publishes in Malay, which is published by peranakan Chinese living in Indonesia. The Chinese press has experienced two closure attempts by the government, namely in April 1958 and in 1960 which resulted in the Chinese press in Indonesia transforming.
