Post-Election, Indonesian President Expected to Go Soft on China Despite Maritime Flaps
Indonesian President Joko Widodo is expected to warm toward China in his second term in search of infrastructure funding instead of challenging Chinese sovereignty in a fishery-rich sea between them. “Back then, Jokowi basically said you need to guard Indonesia’s status as a maritime power,” said Assoc Prof Alan Chong at RSIS, referring to Widodo’s first term. The base, he said, “is in line, very clearly in line, with that”.
