Aseng

== Indonesian == === Etymology === From an alteration of the word asing (“foreign”). Also compare Hokkien 阿成 (A-sêng), a common stereotypical Indonesian Chinese name or nickname. === Pronunciation === (Standard Indonesian) IPA(key): /ˈaseŋ/ [ˈa.sɛŋ] Rhymes: -aseŋ Syllabification: A‧seng === Noun === Aséng (plural Aseng-Aseng) (slang, offensive, derogatory, ethnic slur) Non-Indonesian people, especially Chinese people ==== Usage notes ==== The usage of this term is commonly used alongside the word Asing (capitalized form of asing). While both these words target non-Indonesians, the term Asing is refers to generally any foreign power or people (especially Westerners), while the term Aseng specifically targets anything related to China (ranging from the People's Republic of China to generally Chinese people and/or Indonesians with Chinese descent). This slur is more commonly driven in a political context rather than racial. See China–United States trade war.
