You act like you already a grandpa.
Jadi gini cu... Eeeeh ga ding.

What can I say? The heart is still young, tapi bodi udah ga mendukung. Dulu sih cuek aja bawa dua kamera + lensa2 badag, seharian di jalan buat ngejar momen. Sekarang bawa satu laptop aja udah sakit punggung. :ROFLMAO:

Need some context.
Like what? Yang jelas sih kl gw tadi nekat ujan-ujanan, bisa tepar buat semingguan ke depan... 🤒

The most interesting part of the article below

"That may be a tough sell. Beijing has sought to win Jokowi over with massive investments in infrastructure and vaccine diplomacy, while Washington's efforts under the previous Obama and Trump administrations were desultory at best, said Aaron Connelly, a research fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

"We want to be close to the U.S., but sometimes it's difficult," said Luhut Pandjaitan, Indonesia's coordinating maritime affairs and investment minister, to VOA's Indonesian Service in October following his meeting with U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan. Pandjaitan said that he had told Sullivan that Jakarta has been very welcoming to Chinese investors "because we need to survive."

Beijing is Indonesia's biggest investor. According to Indonesian state media, in 2020 Chinese investment in the country reached $4.8 billion and total trade topped $78.48 billion.

With the Jokowi government prioritizing economic growth, Washington needs to enhance trade and investment with Indonesia to compete with China. "To the U.S., I said, 'Why don't you come too?'" Pandjaitan said.

The U.S.-ASEAN Business Council trade group said the Biden-Jokowi meeting was "another positive step" in expanding economic relations.

"The reform efforts by President Jokowi are seemingly improving Indonesia's ability to compete for attracting higher-value foreign direct investments in areas such as mining and electric vehicles," said Marc Mealy, the council's senior vice president of policy.

"Looking ahead, U.S.-Indonesia economic priorities of interest to American companies will include health care, renewable energy resources, and the use of digital technologies and green finance to support economic recovery," Mealy added."

The carrot :

The stick : Intimidation in our own sea (using maritime militia, coast guard and warships), trade war (towards Australia).

That's why US also have to make their own initiative to replace China BRI. Developing countries around the world are craving for infrastructure to boost their economy, there is no cost efficient trade when they got no big interstate like highway and only got congested road.

But I think, US will not gonna do anything to beat China with any kind of Marshall Plan scale this decades. They even now focus on their own infrastructures that just become never ending blunder of how much have to be spend for respective infrastructure bill.

The only way of US try to beat Chinese BRI is their DFC, which they play with investments scheme rather than debt. That's a good scheme tho. In Indonesia, they made an investment in INA, which maybe start to be in the full swing next year. Jalan tol modal utang RRT, ditutupnya pake INA yang uangnya dari banyak pihak tanpa ada entitas RRT sama sekali disitu.

“Tentunya UEA ingin membantu Indonesia dalam hal menanggulangi terorisme seperti kami kirim imam yang mau mengajarkan kepada prajurit-prajurit yang mengalami mental spiritual untuk didik agar tidak terpengaruh paham terorisme,” kata Husin."

It's big move no joke. MBZ is known for his crusade against political islam. Jokowi-Luhut relation with MBZ is quite good, I also suspect FPI disbanded also because of MBZ lobbying. He was nge-bonsai UAE MB/IM before, known for his support to El-Sisi against Morsi, and suspected also involved in recent Tunisia's internal affairs (against Ennahda).
