The day before Obama's visit to Indonesia, Wu has long been over three-day visit to Indonesia, and signed a total of 6.6 billion related to a number of bilateral trade and economic cooperation agreements, mainly to help Indonesia build infrastructure.
"The New York Times" pointed out that China has chosen to visit the day before Obama announced that this investment is in fact a challenge to the United States: to win over Indonesia? You pocket.
Obama took office two years ago when it announced would go to his childhood lived in Indonesia visit. Indonesians heard excited, looking forward to his arrival, but the advertising done enough, but only heard, repeatedly delayed plans to visit India, so that the people of Indonesia 空欢喜一场.
While Obama has repeatedly postpone the schedule in January this year, China and the ASEAN Free Trade Area officially launched, and Chairman Wu Bangguo of the NPC Standing Committee should be invited to visit Indonesia, but also did not forget to bring the country to the Kuril gift .
Expansion of Sino-Indian bilateral trade
Wu addition to the proposed development of Sino-Indian economic and trade relations, also said that it would encourage Chinese enterprises to participate in major construction projects in Indonesia. He also developed the specific target of 2014, total bilateral trade volume between China and India will increase to 50 billion U.S. dollars.
However, the Chinese investment in Indonesia is far better than the United States, according to Indonesia's Ministry of Trade report released in April of this year, over the past four years, China's investment in Indonesia amounted to $ 265,500,000, which focuses on infrastructure. Currently, the U.S. investment in Indonesia amounted to 18 billion U.S. dollars, major investment in the energy sector.
Although Indonesia has welcomed the arrival of China, and China has also decided to increase investment in Indonesia, but the relationship between China and Indonesia will be enhanced because of economic trade, even beyond the United States to play a greater influence in Indonesia?
This year the 60th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations between China and India, but it occurred in China during the Cultural Revolution, the two countries severed diplomatic relations in 1967. Although Indonesia has entered a new era, the new government to take measures to lift anti-Chinese policies, China and Indonesia are also frequent exchange of visits between the leaders, but the Southeast Asian countries, the rise of China This new force is still unknown, they still can not see China's growth brings a threat or an opportunity.
Earlier this year, China-ASEAN free trade area launched businesses small and medium enterprises in Indonesia had hold of the opposition to the agreement. They worry that the impact of cheap Chinese products will be manufacturing in Indonesia, and lead to local plant closures and rising unemployment. In the panic, the Government of Indonesia and even considered delayed the implementation of free trade agreements.
Indonesia reflects a concern for the problem: Indonesia regards China as a competitor, China's rise will pose a threat to the livelihood of the people of Indonesia.
Now, China extended a friendly hand to Indonesia to help the country build infrastructure, invest in the country, bringing more benefits to the country, but can eliminate the concerns of Indonesia, is premature.
Although Obama's trip to Indonesia, but also create investment opportunities for U.S. companies, he also said the U.S. will bring more investment in Indonesia, but the United States, the relationship between the two countries will not be alone on the economy and trade, and the U.S. influence in Indonesia and not only because of the role of money.
"We should not have wealth, but not free"
The day before Barack Obama arrived in Indonesia after the press conference that the U.S. would like to see the success and prosperity of China, China's economic development to make hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.
Ringing in our ears, the Obama speech at the University of Indonesia, but propaganda model of democracy, and Indonesia as examples of how developing countries can be democratic and diversification, improvement of national life.
Then he said: "Light of wealth, not work without freedom." This sentence on the one hand praised Indonesia's development, so that Indonesia look good, but it also seems directed at China and Middle East countries from, denied the mode of development in these countries.
In addition, in his speech, he again recalled the formative years in Indonesia, then to soft way closer distance with the Indonesians. In doing so, he is actually borrowing in Indonesia in the elimination of the gap with the Islamic world.
Finally, he returned to Indonesia entrusted a great responsibility: I hope that in Indonesia in the international arena to play a greater influence. Again and again in the face of natural disasters time, Obama is no doubt to the Indonesians words created a positive image.
The relationship between China and Indonesia, keep in economy and trade, on the other side does not interfere, and the United States and Indonesia to come to much more exposure and, by extension, so if you think the United States worried that Indonesia will move closer to China, or a lot to consider, because the influence Light pocket can not set up.
