Indonesia is the largest developing economy in Southeast Asia, with a gross domestic product of over US$1 trillion. The country’s size and location have made it Indonesia an attractive strategic partner for China and the United States to influence the Asean region. Indonesia has attempted to remain neutral in the China-U.S rivalry, but if tensions between the two continue to rise, will Indonesia be forced to take sides or adopt a foreign policy that doesn't align with either superpower?

As a Filipino, I would say that Indonesia is like the big brother of southeast Asia. Promoting peace and progress in the region...
Thanks 🇵🇭🤝🇮🇩

IMF and Belt Road Initiative is DEPT TRAP #FvckChina #FvckUSA
Indonesia got $22Billion from russia investment, $14Billion approve from the US military and assistance + $3Billion energy project, and more than $18Billion multiyear investment from china. That is insane how they balance the diplomatic ties for their national interest. i mean, not every country can do that.
ey its coincidence a Vietnamese is speaking about this :D
Indonesia has more in common and goal with SEA countries like Vietnam than with NATO or China will ever be
Cause Indonesia has economic potential, strategic of geograpic, and political influence to Asean.
Japan is still our biggest partner, and most of south east asia country, china, & australia already signed RCEP the biggest trade deal in the world, so I think open war wouldn't happen in this region.
Why not the key is focus on making its ppl proshper not making war

For a country of Indonesia's size, it's beneficial to remain independent and neutral. Big countries can do that, for small countries that is much more difficult.
Yes, i would even say that's a mandatory for Indonesia's survival. If we're not neutral, one of those superpowers would support insurgency in our country. The US would support Indonesia's insurgency groups if it choose China's side and vice versa.
Indonesia is very big so break ups insurgencies could be fragile although Indonesia is pretty stable now.
our military is not capable of preventing invasions from big power, unless we go the ukrainian way (i.e ordinary citizens are given weapons and ordered to fight at the frontlines).. with the increasing tension between Washington and Beijing, I genuinely don't think Indonesia will be able to stay neutral in the long term
According to the documentary "Warmonger's"
It doesn't matter if you're neutral. They have different ways to target your country.
"When America wants to go to war with someone, we invent the reasons."
Take the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war for example.
Anyone remember this history? 1965 Indonesia coup.
CIA involvement in coup 1965 is one great example on how the west took sides by supplying weapons, made propaganda and indirectly killed more than 3 million innocent lives. Their strategy is based on "divide and conquer". This document was declassified by CIA because many activists around the globe condemn the war crimes of US and their allies. Not only that, CIA overthrew the legit president of indonesia and replaced it with a corrupt Suharto who supported the US. That's how US mining company 'freeport' got hold of indonesian biggest gold mine.

And this
Even today in 2022, this is still happening. People have forgotten how a vial of detergent was used by colin powell to wage an illegal WMD war against Iraq, killing millions of Iraqis.
Now they are using the same Cold War strategy to brainwash their citizens and the world for another hybrid war against Russia and China. Hence the Xinjiang cotton propaganda going on now spread by a homophobic right wing religious nut case German called Adrian Zenz.

@@condorX2 "It doesn't matter if you're neutral".
Neutrality DOES matter, because it may prevent you from getting involved in a conflict between other parties. If you were allied to one of those parties, there's a high risk you would also be a target. That's basic logic for children. Neutrality cannot protect you from everything. They may always be adversaries who want what you have, and they don't care whether you're neutral or not.

The way of thinking of Indonesia it's not just a pragmatic. It came from long experience of colonialism. A country where for centuries experience war. From that our founding fathers has declared to be non block or neutral. For Indonesia, coalition is for freedom and friendship not for war.
Colonialism, War, foreign policy involved in our domestical issue (insurgency and conflicts), embargo, etc has shaped indonesia right now!!
@@goldgen7352 exact same thing happened in vietnam
Same here in the Philippines as well

how is it "neutral" to literally have US military within Indonesia? It's a thing that only US puppet nations or US invaded nations have.
Indonesia was the founder of Non Alignment Movement (NAM) followed by India, Yugoslavia, Egypt, etc. Indonesia also the founder of Asia Africa Conference (Bandung Conference). It implies that Indonesia is a neutral country and will stay neutral cause our free and active foreign policy.

Indonesia is a large country with the 4th largest population in the world.. if Indonesia does not choose neutral, the possibility of war is very high but if Indonesia remains neutral then Indonesia can be one of the countries that provide solutions when there is chaos between countries... As a big country, Indonesia's political choices will have a huge impact on the world
Yup
Exactly it's best that Indonesia remain neutral in order to make world peace in midst of ongoing disputes & war happening in some countries
As Indonesian, I still think Indonesia needs to work on their own economic and military power if they want to remain neutral. Like it as not, both China and US are superpowers and given the inclination, they may be able to exert damaging pressure onto Indonesia, whether via coercion (too much economic dependence) or via guns (all out war). If Indonesia wants to remain neutral, they need to be strong both in military power and economical power, or the country will buckle.
Well first of all everybody must accept india then will indonesia will be considered because india is bigger and more powerful in ever way
@@buzzlightyear1484 because India has already made its choice.. if Indonesia does the same thing then there will be no more big countries that have international political influence that can provide solutions for disputing countries
When cold war was happening, Indonesia became one of the leading countries who held a non-bloc conference. Declaring the world that Indonesia is always free and neutral. I believe Indonesia would rather choose to honor that declaration instead of choosing side.
Yup but not until foreign bullets start flying through above our head

Indeed that Indonesia maintain the connection with many of "rival" altogether. We have both economic ties with USA and China. We shared joint military training with both USA and Russia. We maintain relation with both North and South Korea. Basically we give warm welcome for all who agreed to respect our neutrality and are not interfere in our public will to be in peace.
In fact. The only globally significant nation that Indonesia doesn't have an official relation is Israel, which we did that purely based on solidarity for Palestinian, who did support our independece since the beginning.

If a War breaks out, we would be neutral. Indonesia doesn’t have the Naval capability to hold of an Invasion from either the US or China so we would rather be neutral than being an endless war zone
Indonesia Naval capability is quantity not quality...
If neutral means die, I would choose China to be ally.
Indonesia is 90% guaranteed to join the US if conflict occurs because Indonesia's military are compatible with US military structures.
A report in the Rand institute that the TNI prefers to deal with the US military over chinese one.
@D.A.R Supporting usa is far worst they useless allies. Atleast china provides help to allies directly. Both are kinda same tbh.
@D.A.R China better friend than US. Or you will see inflation everywhere.
For many years since the Philippines incorporated by the US since 1901 until 1947, they invested a lot on our country to be developed. Even China helped to developed our ailing infrastructure in the country. Indonesia, invested a lot on our transportation and developed our mothballed defences. Now, our country's armed forces are now capable to defend our territories. Our nations strategic vessels, build by Indonesians, used by our Philippine Navy vowed to response, help and relief the Indonesians if any disaster occurred to the country.
True, Honestly, the Philippines is not a small country we are roughly the same size as Japan if not smaller or bigger. There is a misconception that our country is small, I beg to differ.
Now, for our country to pursue a true independent foreign policy like India and Indonesia, the Philippines needs to abrogate its Mutual Defense Treaty, Visiting Forces Agreement as well as the EDCA. We need to invest more in our armed forces to finally stop relying on foreign powers who we all know are all bark and no bite, we should also be pragmatic on dealing with terrirtorial disputes with our Neighbour, China. We shouldn't antagonize them as they can be our partner for the future.

For now, it’s best for Indonesia to stay neutral and reap the benefits of this economic war. The question is how long can they sustain these “balanced” relations.
As long as we can. That's if the US can respect our choice of foreign policy which another comment have written.
Same goes with other SEA countries
The government tend to be more towards China for trade and economy, while for military matters we tend to lean towards the US
From Philippines yeah i support your idea we're also neutral because of the past wars
Until next Falangist coup
as an Indonesian, Thank to our founding fathers who declared our country international political mission for being "Bebas n Aktif", we don't take both sides, we've all known that war just brings the worst in all dimention.. hope our government n president as well as the citizens always hold on it tightly for the best of Indonesian..
Its not just about being neutral. It is about making true peace and prosperity in the world and for the people. The founding fathers of Indonesia had declared that vision when Indonesia established.
😂 Funny that only the weak country say that. It's adorable that countries try to mask weakness by saying that they only want peace and cooperation. Because they have no other choice but to act like some Swedish clowns.😂 they gonna find out when times are hard you can't PLAY BOTH SIDES
Indonesia has always remained more or less neutral since the Cold War. I have my own opinions about US and Chinese governments, but regardless, as an Indonesian I tend to be suspicious of both when they make business deals with Indonesia. I would really like Indonesia to remain pretty neutral so that we don't end up getting colonized/exploited by any other country again.
China has never colonized any country, and China has never invaded and deprived any country of its development. We can develop because of our hard work, not war. We haven't had a war for more than 40 years. What we pursue is peace and win-win, not war. If we have money, we will all make it and make the people rich together. We don't bully anyone.

this ridiculous and domineering attitude all too common among westerners and especially americans is detested globally, sometimes even in the west itself.

In theory, Indonesia will indeed be neutral, but if we imagine a military confrontation between America and China taking place, Indonesia will certainly take sides if one of the two countries harming Indonesia will actually happen, as long as the two countries do not harm Indonesia, Indonesia will automatically remain neutral. our country does not have a strong navy or air force like other countries, but remember that no one will be safe if an enemy sets foot on the land of the motherland. because the Indonesian people fought together with our army, in a state of emergency there was no Indonesian civil society.
I agree with that, we have a long history of civilian heroes who fought for Indonesia's independence
Both of them wouldn't anyway.
If China attack first, then Indonesia will be sided with US.
If US attack first, then China (and Russia probably) will come to aid Indonesia.
It's just not worth it to attack Indonesia.
Indonesia is a great buffer zone for both China and USA.
Atleast Australia wouldn't get attacked from Indian ocean and China have a peace of mind over Malacca strait.

In my opinion yes US & China could defeat Indonesian military but they can't win in a single day since Indonesian territory is very large and they won't stay forever in Indonesia.
this kinda remind me charles darwin quote
"It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one more responsive to change."

President Widodo refers to China as "Tiong Kok" as opposed to the somewhat derogatory "Cina". Malaysian politicians always use "Cina" although Lim Guan Eng of opposition Democratic Action Party sometimes uses orang "Tiong Hua"' in reference to Chinese in his own country. Lim Guan Eng also knows the difference and doesn't want to denigrate his own race. We salute President Widodo for respecting the Chinese.
Even the indonesians called chinese people tionghoa
thanks to the most humanist previous Indonesian president, KH. Adurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) that set the rules for mentioning any Chinese ethnic descendants as "tionghoa" in our country.. the anti-chinese negative sentiment here in malaca straits, was part of Western Colonialism era.. neither Dutch or British used to separate their colony people's by their identity, wether it's by ethnic, religion, etc.. anti-chienese sentiment not only happened in Indonesia, but also in Malaysia and Brunei.. hope the world could really studied about democracy from Indonesia, not from US.. and hope the world could also learned the true Islam from Indonesian too, not from any Middle-East peoples that seems just can't get along well within their own neighborhood..

No, the US doesn't value anyone's anything. The US is literally the main actor behind the rise of Indonesia's ONLY dictator who ruled for 30+ years. The US only cares about others being with them, they don't actually care if it's democracy or whatever, they will use that narrative against their enemies but not if the countries are with them.
I am Chinese, and war will never occur on the mainland of China or the mainland of the United States. War may occur in third countries, such as the Russo Ukrainian War. The superpower will never be defeated and can only wait for its own disintegration, just like the Soviet Union. The independence of each state in the United States will disappear and it will not be defeated by another country. Neighbors cannot be moved away and are not suitable as enemies
President Jokowi is an absolute skillful in dealing all major issues,including international geopolitics. His cool hands are able to embrace all parties.
Indonesia be like : "your friend may be my friend too.. but your enemy is not necessarily my enemy"
The dynamics of foreign relations is competition. It does not drive cooperation as a building block but a means to outsmart one over the other. The outcome will always be conflict. Peace will never grow in this context.
Indonesia's approach is an admirable measure given the current context fraught with risks.
Indonesia must put ASEAN and Asia region in mind for making any strategic decisions. Letting countries from faraway continent to dictate will be disaster eventually. Do not be scare out by current hegemony. Your neighbors will be around for the next thousands years.
It's the close neighbors who always annoy us, look down on us, underestimate us

Indonesian here. I'd doubt that our country will be a superpower or anywhere near it. We do have the natural resources and geographic potentials to be one, but with almost 80-85% or approximately 240-250 million of our population being mostly uneducated and even blatantly ignorant, not even a miracle would save us from our sorry state. The younger generation here are mostly indifferent to whatever is going on in and out of this country and many had lost hope, so they either become an immigrant overseas or stay and suffer in silence. On the other hand, our mostly intellectually challenged elder generations are rampant and holding more power here and there.
Indonesia want peace, stability and prosperity. Indonesia will enter a war only when its national soverignty is violated by military force of a foreign country.

Honestly the war between east timor and other oceanic countries was because of Indonesia's poor governance, and that was before the 21st century when Indonesia was lead by a dictator. Nowadays, in this century we want none of that but only peace.
It is very interesting indeed that even now, we remains a country of empathy. Our founding fathers have drilled that into our education early on, including history lessons at schools that tells us all about the pain of war and what it took from us.
I quite disagree that we should side with the US if a war happens. Currently, economically we have more benefits with China than the US. We also gain no benefit by antagonising China, or worse, a devastated China.
If China is out, then what will we gain from the US? As far as i am concerned, there was only little benefit by siding to the West for Indonesia. The biggest Western benefactors for us so far are actually Japan and South Korea, but i heard that the perception of the two seem to decline too slowly. South Korea is found to actually not have favourable view of Indonesia, and Japan is stagnating (not counting pop culture influence of course). So, even ideological wise Indonesia seems to be aligned with the West, it doesn't seem there's a lot to gain by siding with them.
Just by distance alone, if (pretty big if) Indo is forced to pick a side, we seem better to just join force with the west just to limit China expansionism in ASEAN lake. Today it's Asean lake, the next time (if we fail to defend that), it might be natuna island itself even Batam and whole of Riau islands.
Distance really matters. You can't just ignore physical geography no matter how delicious those "Taipan money" is. Also Malacca strait.
I think people are being delusional when they think China is benign power. As has been shown during the latter half of the last decade, and as the interviewee said, China's view of interest is just too myopic, and will undercut Indonesia interest even for small China gains. That's not how you make friends (yes there's no permanent friends, but concept of friends do exist, West "democratic" alliance show that).
@@hikashia.halfiah3582 I mean, then what? We will depend on the US again? How did that work out for us last time? You think we are now developed enough to satisfy ourselves? The best way is really just being neutral. Honestly, the long term consequences to make China enemy is also big. It's not just money, but also technology, science, infrastructure and education. You think the West will give us that? No they can't, and they won't. It's the main reason i see little benefit to side with the West.
We Asians are inferior to the white people. We been serving as their slaves for centuries, why change now? The benefits of siding with US is we get to go back to our heritage of being subservient slaves to the Western superiority. Think about that. Do you really want us Asian to be strong n powerful race? That's what's China is doing right now. And many Asians disagree with that because they want to return to being slaves.

It’s only reasonable if Indonesia ally itself with the US when the time force it to take side. The biggest foreign threat to Indonesia right now is China’s presence in the South China Sea. The guy in the video was right, the US is less threatening to Indonesia. China’s presence in the South China Sea also poses as the biggest threat to ASEAN as well. Can you imagine, 5 ASEAN countries are highly threatened because of China’s Nine-dash Line. They will collectively against China. And those 5 countries have a pretty close military relationship with the US. It’s all about defense at the end, and the US is the only hope for seeking protection.
