The purge operation by the Javanese Customs General Administration was just the beginning, as the Jieke Group rapidly expanded its area to encompass Ceylon City and surrounding regions.
Due to the Customs General Administration's capture of Gong Guokai and the seizure of Chinese factories, Ceylon City emulated this and large-scale anti-Chinese riots ensued.
The rioters purposefully attacked, vandalized, looted, and set fire to Chinese people, leaving many Chinese shops and companies looted clean and burned down.
Chinese people frequently suffered heinous crimes and various tragedies emerged one after another.
Regarding all this, the police of Jawa Country were indifferent, allowing the expansion of violence, and in public, continuously downplayed and covered up the riots, turning a blind eye to the criminal rioters.
Their inaction was one of the key factors that led the Jieke Group to intervene.
