Original – Students from Yogyakarta State University (which is majority Native Indonesian) put on a Chinese-Javanese fusion fashion show in the lead-up to Chinese New Year in 2015. Under Suharto's new order, the practice of Chinese culture was forbidden by law – including Chinese New Year. Since the fall of Suharto in 1998, the country has become more open to Chinese culture, and many of the discriminative laws have been rescinded.
