The analysis encompasses levels of political participation, including participation in general elections and contributions to political organizations. To address the complexity, this research analyzes factors influencing political communication within the Chinese ethnic group, including social, cultural, economic, and political aspects, to understand the context shaping their political messages.Despite facing challenges in obtaining credible data, this research is expected to provide practical insights for the Chinese ethnic group, the government, and the general public in designing inclusive communication strategies and strengthening social harmony in Jakarta
