Surakarta, VOI News - Efforts to promote Chinese culture are carried out in many ways. In Solo, one of these is by organizing a Chinese Batik Festival. The head organizer, Febri Dipokusumo, said that they do not display batik made in China. “But batiks influenced by Chinese culture. The batiks are made in Indonesia, by Indonesian batik makers,” he said. Nowadays there are many Chinese textile products on the market, including batik with various motifs.
