On the contrary, the nine dash line is only for China to know. UNCLOS is for everybody to know. You should try to challenge UNCLOS if you want to have the nine dash line acknowledged by the whole world.
That might be because the focus of the conflict from your side is on Vietnam and Philippines as Indonesia and China has no direct territorial dispute. However from Indonesian side, the focus of the SCS conflict is on China and Vietnam. And headlines for Vietnam related issue are actually crafted...
Yep, Indonesia and China even held training together during Hu's era, not to mention that some plans for military technology cooperation were also planned during Hu's era.
With Xi? I dont know man, its like he totally forgot about China's peaceful rise.
Yes, and none of those countries you mentioned are allied with Indonesia. Moreover, US and AUS embassy have been subjects of mass demonstration in Indonesia and Chinese embassy never received such strong reaction from Indonesia so far.

Because there is a conflict over the EEZ and Chinese fishing boats apparently could not wait until the issue is resolved. Moreover, Chinese white...
Regime always changes in "Jakarta" every 5 to 10 years anyway. Indonesia elects leader by voting and one person can only be elected twice (each term is 5 years). So dont worry, save your "TyPe 099 T4nKs r0LL r1gHt iNt0 tH3 pR3siDenTi4L PaL4c3" speech for somebody else.
Yes, Rafale would be great. But since these are intended for stop gap only until we can get our hands on the KFX, Rafale would be too costly. Unless the new planes are intended to replace KFX for future fighters, buying upgraded surplus of US F 16 is much more logical.
