Studies on Chinese Indonesians have experienced rapid development in the past decade, reflected in the increasing number of scholarly publications. However, the majority are still based on qualitative approaches and case studies. Another fact is that Indonesia has the largest Chinese diaspora in the world. Bibliometrics was used to analyze 496 Scopus indexed documents (2014-2025) with the help of OpenRefine, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix. The research results show that the research landscape connecting Chinese Indonesians and the Asian region is integrated and multidimensional. Five main thematic clusters cover political-economic relations, social identity, regional collaboration, biomedical genetics, and cultural anthropology. Publications increased from 2017 to 2023. This surge was fueled by the Basuki Tjahaja Purnama blasphemy case and research collaboration during the COVID-19 pandemic, which expanded the use of digital technology and online platforms. This trend is reflected in the increase in contributions to journals such as Sustainability, PLOS ONE, Asian Ethnicity, and Wacana, strengthening the position of interdisciplinary research globally. Indonesia dominates in publication productivity, supported by leading universities such as Universitas Indonesia and Universitas Gadjah Mada, and active collaborations with China, Singapore, and Australia. Among the most prominent authors are Zhang H., Sun Y., and Wang Y., who consistently emerge as key contributors and central to collaborations. Social sciences dominated (28.4%), followed by medicine (12.5%), reflecting an interdisciplinary orientation. Future studies should integrate databases such as Web of Science or Dimensions with a content analysis approach to uncover theoretical connections and emerging themes.
