Usage notes
This word is dropped from Indonesian official government use as the presidential decision was passed and replaced by id Tiongkok China and id Tionghoa Chinese due to its racist overtones and historical consideration.Keputusan Presiden Nomor 12 Tahun 2014 Tentang Pencabutan Surat Edaran Presidium Kabinet Ampera Nomor SE-06/PRES.KAB/6/1967 Tanggal 28 Juni 1967 (Presidential Decision No. 12/2014 on Revocation of Ampera Cabinet Presidium Circular No. SE-06/PRES.KAB/6/1967 dated 28 June 1967). This direction is followed by most Indonesians and Indonesian-language mass media. However, the word is still commonly used, sometimes with racist connotation.

Usage notes
Unlike in Indonesia where this term is considered somewhat offensive, the use of Cina in neighbouring Malayophone countries like Singapore and Malaysia do not typically carry derogative connotations and is regularly used to describe Chinese-related matters, such as in ms Tahun Baru Cina Chinese New Year.
Although pronounced the same, the country name, ms China, is spelled differently with an H. This is a carryover from the old Za'aba Spelling Za'aba Spelling system.
