For Indonesia, the landing request of the U.S. military aircraft will not make Indonesia gain the favor of the United States, but it will damage the relationship between Indonesia and China. This is obviously not worth doing this.

Regarding the requirements of Indonesia's refusal to allow its P-8 Poseidon Winter Sea reconnaissance aircraft to land and refuel in Indonesia this year, Professor Li Yiping, Dean of the Nanyang Research Institute of Xiamen University, made the above comments in an interview with the Russian satellite news agency.

According to Reuters, Indonesian officials said that U.S. officials conducted many high -level contacts with the Indonesian Ministry of Defense and Foreign Minister in July and August, and Indonesian President Zoko Middot; Victoria declined to the United States.

Officials said that the United States' proposal surprised the Indonesian government because Indonesia has long upholds a neutral foreign policy for a long time.Indonesia has never allowed foreign troops to move in their territory.

Indonesian Foreign Minister Reituo also stated that Indonesia does not want to fall in the confrontation between China and the United States, and ASEAN needs to unswervingly maintain neutrality and unity.

Expert Li Yiping pointed out that as a major country in ASEAN and a regional country around China, the principles of Indonesia's foreign policy are the balance of large powers, and to maintain a neutral confidence also benefits from the stable development trend of Indonesia.

He said: After one or two decades of development, Indonesia is in a relatively stable development trend in terms of economic and domestic politics.In addition, its position in the entire ASEAN is relatively stable.In this area, whether in Indonesia's attitude and policies for the South China Sea or the surrounding powers, it should always be said that it is in line with its own needs, and it has also been recognized by the country in this region.Especially in the current situation of China and the United States in this region, Indonesia does not want to clearly clear LSquo;

In addition, for Indonesia, it is imposed that the United States' request will not make Indonesia obtain interests from the United States, but it will damage the relationship with China. It is obviously not worth doing so.

Expert Li Yiping explained in detail:

First of all, under the mechanism of the Indo -Pacific strategy in the United States and the US, Japan, and Australia, the United States, and the United States, the US patrol aircraft hopes that landing in Indonesia and refueling does not mean that it can do this in this area without other countries or places.Indonesia will not win the United States' special favor for it because of the consent of the patrol aircraft landing and refueling in Indonesia.Of course, Indonesia must calculate, what benefits can I bring to me if I promise the US request?This interest is not obvious. Furthermore, this will cause Mdash; MDash; China is some of the dissatisfaction with Indonesia.In particular, the development strategy of Indonesia echoed China ’s 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. It should be said that China will bring it a large benefit and benefit in the process of economic development in this regard.

Reuters said that the P-8 maritime patrol machine played a core role in paying close attention to China's military activities in the South China Sea.The United States has recently used Singapore, the Philippines, and Malaysia to send P-8 maritime patrollers to perform missions over the South China Sea.

Indonesia did not maintain the same as these countries, but instead rejected the requirements of the United States. Expert Li Yiping believes that this allows Indonesia to continue to maintain its influence in this area.

At the same time, in the case of tight epidemics, it continues to maintain a close relationship with China. Whether in vaccine or in the corresponding economic aspects, Indonesia can get some better support and help.

According to Reuters, as of now, representatives of the Indonesian President and Minister of Defense, the US State Department Media Office and the US Embassy in Jakarta have not responded to the matter.Representatives of the US Department of Defense and Indonesian Foreign Minister Reituo are reluctant to comment.
