Thanks for updating us on the latest news on the Indonesian elections. Under Jokovi, Indonesia’s economy is truly something to be admired. And it’s done with careful handling of the economy and it’s relationship with China as a major trading partner. My hope is for Indonesia to be included into the Brics family. Their banking system now offers and encourages the use of local currencies which will work favourably for Indonesia. Borrowing from the west will not bring economic benefits for Indonesia. We wish the people of Indonesia the best as we are all ASEAN neighbours.
with prabowo, i think Indonesia will be getting closer with China and Russia, military modernisation is within reach, we will get some tech from china and or Russia, and probably even strategic or comprehensive strategic partnership with either one or both..
with ganjar, i don't see much.. he talk big and smart.. he got so many ideas.. he appeared strong.. but there are too many details will be left unattended.. his governorial record is all that.. too many holes.. i'm from his province.. and my city got the worst out of his regime.. all look no substance.. sure, he got some success.. but a little too little.. i mean 3 out of 10 is not something to brag about..
with anis, well, he's not as bad as javier milei.. that's for sure.. and milei can't do sht about argentina china relations.. had he done what he promised to do to china and russia, argentina would've been destroyed and he'll runaway to florida.. joining messi.. and other runaway failed proxies like bolsonaro or that one guy who wanted to be venezuelan president.. but yea.. not as bad as milei..
Harmony in diversity is what ASEAN should strive for.. A total uniformity is not realistic
Prawobo is definitely pro US as I understand.
Yeah, I hope that economic cooperation between China and Indonesia will continue, especially if the next elected president is the one who will continue the program of the previous government (president). The majority of Indonesian people do not want "change" because "change itself is not necessarily for the better". Apart from that, the majority of Indonesian citizens are very satisfied with the results of President Jokowi's work during his 2 periodes, so we think it is necessary to continue his programs by the next president.
China ccp must pressure Indonesia for well being of Indonesia Chinese 😊
