BY JANUARY 20, 1962, Overseas Chinese possessing dual nationality in Indonesia must have made a choice between the nationality of the Peoples' Republic of China or that of the Republic of Indonesia. This provision accords with the Sino-Indonesian Dual Nationality Treaty, which has afforded them two years, from January 20, 1960, in which to choose. Somewhat unexpectedly, only about 32,000 (out of a potential 700,000 to 900.000 Chinese with dual nationality) have to date successfully opted for Indonesian nationality,2 while there is no evidence that even this many have chosen Chinese nationality. The requirement that dual nationals must show proof of having been born in Indonesia before they may opt for Indonesian citizenship, and the disinclination of the Chinese to declare their choice, have featured the option period. A result has been relatively few options recorded to date and restricted implementation of the Dual Nationality Treaty
