That is launching rocket only, not satellite making. China is producing high tech communication satellite plus the launching process. An all in one package. Only few highly industrialised nations like China are capable of that.

Looks like China is making a big push into the Indonesian satellite market, via our state-owned companies.

Revival of the savagry i'm afraid of.

Out of curiosity, do you agree or disagree with the Chinese government in this case?

Great job china. Let's just hope indon extremist can used more high tech and make sure no Chinese can escape fascist claws when they overthrow jokowi government. Will be like 1964 again! Good times ahead.

Jokowi government is actually quite a good president. It just his opponent and extremist making things difficult for his administration. A single mans effort is not enough to steer 250million population destination if the remaining not cooperating.

Why are you even conversing with overseas Chinese? You have already said it only Chinese citizens are considered to be Chinese. Whatever Overseas Chinese say or think has nothing to do with China. Only 1.3 bln Chinese Citizens are Chinese, the rest are totally not China's concern.

LOL that's not what I said. What I said is that China has a duty to Chinese citizens first, not foreigners.

Apparently the Chinese government understands this, which is why we are selling high tech satellites to Indonesia, among many other things. Because the money that we make will benefit the people of China.

And I notice you did not answer the question.

You've lost your mind. My position has always been the same. China first, Chinese citizens first. You can search my post history as much as you like, I've never deviated from this position.

Your position has always been foreigners first, Indonesians first.

And you still haven't answered my question. Is the Chinese government doing the right thing here or not? By looking after China first, and Chinese citizens first?

What a joke, my post history is available for all to see. My position has always been the same, China first, Chinese citizens first.

And for the third time, you have failed to answer my question. Is the Chinese government correct here, in looking after China first, instead of foreigners?

Why can't you answer this simple question? For the third time?

Wow you have avoided the question FIVE times now.

Why is it impossible for you to answer this simple question?

Is the Chinese government correct here, to put the interests of China first, and the interests of Chinese citizens first? Instead of the interests of foreigners?
