Chung Hwa Hui
Chung Hwa Hui (1928–1942; the 'Chinese Association'), also known as CHH, was a conservative, largely pro-Dutch political organisation and party in the Dutch East Indies (today Indonesia), often criticised as a mouthpiece of the Cabang Atas, colonial Chinese establishment. The party campaigned for legal equality between the colony's Chinese Indonesians, ethnic Chinese subjects and Europeans, and advocated ethnic Chinese political participation in the Dutch colonial state.
