H.
Kan, was a prominent public figure, statesman and patrician landowner of Peranakan Chinese descent in the Dutch East Indies (today known as Indonesia).He was the founding president of Chung Hwa Hui (CHH), a centre-right Chinese-Indonesian political party, and sat as its leading parliamentary representative in the Volksraad.
He advocated cooperation with the Dutch colonial state in order to attain racial and legal equality for the colony's Chinese community, but — even in the colonial era — was criticised for his pro-Dutch sentiments and perceived elite indifference to poorer Indonesians.
