US PLANS FOR INDONESIA

The USA probably has two plans for Indonesia, the fourth largest country in the world in terms of population.

Plan A: get a CIA asset elected as president of Indonesia and make Indonesia part of the US alliance against China.

Plan B: if Indonesia decides to be friends with China, then stir things up in Indonesia.

If Indonesia decides not to be part of the US alliance, it may suffer the same fate as Libya or Syria.

Andrew Higgins/Washington Post - Chinese Indonesian politician Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (centre), who is a Christian, speaks to animal rights activists in Jakarta as part of election campaign that targets groups ignored by Indonesia's mostly Muslim political class. In Indonesia, ethnic Chinese see a new future

Basuki is a Chinese-Indonesian politician.

"On a trip to the United States in 2008, Basuki visited Denver during the Democratic National Convention and marveled at the nomination of Barack Obama, the son of a Kenyan who spent part of his boyhood in Jakarta, for president.

"Indonesia, Basuki said, has been breaking down old barriers, too, and will one day elect a leader from a minority."

Presidential candidate Prabowo, who said he was willing "to drive all the Chinese out of Indonesia." Prabowo Subianto

The Chinese-Indonesian Basuki is a member of the political party led by Prabowo Subianto, who is alleged to be an anti-China CIA asset.

General Prabowo has been widely blamed for organising the anti-Chinese violence in 1998, which was reportedly part of a CIA plot to topple Suharto.

Basuki said it is “unfair” to “blame only” Prabowo and does not think Prabowo has Chinese blood on his hands.

LOL.


Jakarta

The Indonesian economy is booming.

But, 60 per cent of the money in Indonesia is concentrated in Jakarta, home to the richest of the Chinese-Indonesians

Indonesian Nationalism: Between the Bellicose and the Inclusive

And certain hidden forces are promoting militant Islam, in a country that is generally moderate and liberal.

In Tasik Malaya, not far from Jakarta, local authorities have introduced a law that makes it compulsory for all women - including non-Muslims and tourists - to cover their heads with scarves. 

Recently conservative Muslim scholars in Indonesia stated that Indonesian Muslims must not salute the country's flag or sing the national anthem, for these were seen as 'un-Islamic' acts.

'China renounced its claims on the Natunas in 1995, but not the gas field. Indonesia is now the world's biggest exporter of LNG... 

'There are significant gas deposits at the offshore Natuna gas field in the South China Sea.'
