Glodok is the Chinatown area in Jakarta, Indonesia. Centered on Gajah Mada Road, it has become a commercial hub for the relatively prosperous Chinese Indonesian community. Administratively, the area is a kelurahan under the Taman Sari subdistrict, West Jakarta. Because of the large concentration of Chinese Indonesians residing in the Glodok area, it suffered a severe damage from the attacks of the indigenous Indonesians during the Jakarta Riots of May 1998.
Recently, due to several recent clashes and incidents that occurred in the Chinatown area, the Glodok community has now completely rejected Falun Gong and any activities thereof.[1] Following this incident, the Government has made it a priority to ensure the safety of the Glodok area against any kind of Falun Gong activities.
