Xi met twice with Indonesian President Prabowo last year and agreed to support each other's national development vision, modernize their paths, build a China-Indonesia community with regional and global influence, and lead bilateral relations to a new level.

The🇮🇩🇺🇸 upgrade 💐

[Christine Susanna Tjhin 陈姝伶 @cataya]

It's kinda wild d@ US🇺🇸 still hasn't appointed new Ambassador for 🇮🇩 since diplo upgrade to "Comprehensive Strategic Partnership" & Amb.Sung Y. Kim's departure in Nov 2023.
75 yrs of 🇮🇩🇺🇸 relations.
At least it's on d same level w China? 🇨🇳🇺🇸 are both 🇮🇩 CSP?🖖🏼👩🏻

[Christine Susanna Tjhin 陈姝伶 @cataya]

Much to be anticipated, w/ d potential chubbier (new) cabinet under Prabowo-Gibran, likely shifts in d constellation of key players in 🇮🇩🇨🇳 rels, evident increase in bilateral strategic engagements, etc.
For better or worse? We'll see...

[Christine Susanna Tjhin 陈姝伶 @cataya]

Similar sentiments also in Indonesia, esp sub-nat'l/local elites. They're more keen 2visit US/Europe actually, yet requests wr often ignored, no funding/invitations.
China was viewed as backward & filthy not so long ago.
How things hv changed...🤷🏻‍♀️

[Lyle Morris @LyleJMorris]

“We were VIPS, treated very, very well,” Mamba said of his visits to China. “We stayed in five-star hotels. We were free to roam around all over, even at night.”

This is the greatest threat to the U.S.-Philippines alliance. Not the military threat, but the co-opting of Philippine elites.

[Christine Susanna Tjhin 陈姝伶 @cataya]

While d visits to 🇨🇳 can b lux, cordial & eye-opening, follow-ups r not necessarily solid on local level. There r diff causes on both sides 🇮🇩🇨🇳, even tho d interests remain. Asymmetrical capacity, weak governance, central-local coordination & competition, clashing interests etc

[Christine Susanna Tjhin 陈姝伶 @cataya]

@wndprj Iya, ngeri lihat perkembangannya ya. Selama ini berkaca dari pengalaman diversity AS untuk studi isu keberagaman RI, tapi malah makin ekstrim dan terpolarisasi di sana. Sangat disayangkan.

[Christine Susanna Tjhin 陈姝伶 @cataya]

Cultural Appropriation or Appreciation?
"A Swedish-Indonesian dancer, Daisy Oxenstierna, has been accused of cultural appropriation after a video of her performing Legong, a style of Balinese dance, went viral."
