Pao An Tui (Chinese: 保安隊; pinyin: Bǎo'ān duì; Wade–Giles: Pao3-an1-tui4; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Pó-an-tūi; lit. ''public security corps'') sometimes spelt Po An Tui or Poh An Tui from the Hokkien pronunciation, were self-defense forces of the Chinese-Indonesian community during the Indonesian National Revolution from 1945 to 1949.[2][1] The group has been accused by Indonesian nationalists of harbouring pro-Dutch sympathies during the Revolution, especially during the police actions,[3] though it received arms and support from both sides of the conflict.[4][5] Pao An Tui was disbanded in 1949 with the cessation of violence and the conclusion of the revolution in Indonesian Independence.[1]
