A decade ago, Lie wouldn’t have dared confess such feelings. Discrimination and violence marred the history of Southeast Asia’s 30 million ethnic Chinese, and Indonesia"home to the region’s largest community"was particularly oppressive.

How is "oppressive" used in the above context?

@fansy,
I believe the context is that the Indonesian regime was particularly intolerant of dissent.
