Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was intended to examine, through Chinese Christians in Jakarta, the phenomenon of their denial of Chinese culture based on their faith in Christ in their lives, even though they maintain the category of "Chinese Overseas". However, due to the effects of the new coronavirus, we were unable to conduct the fieldwork that was the main method of this study. For this reason, this study was temporarily extended, but since the travel restriction was still not lifted until February 2022, it was decided that this study should be terminated and the research funding returned.
