Let's quote: "China demands". Internationally recognized, PH and Indonesia should now that China stop the non-basis 9-dash line. China is demanded to stop claiming the South East Asian Sea, stop illegal occupation, illegal island building and stop populating the area with their personnel.

Will the Indonesians acquiesce? I don't think so.

- The Indonesian president has something your beloved president doesn't have... balls.
- Your president would rather sniff Xi Jinping's balls because he doesn't have any.

Indonesia, Long on Sidelines, Starts to Confront China’s Territorial Claims

By JOE COCHRANE
SEPT. 10, 2017



Indonesia’s increasingly aggressive posture in the region - including a military buildup in its nearby Natuna Islands and the planned deployment of naval warships - comes as other nations are being more accommodating to China’s broad territorial claims in the South China Sea.

The two countries had three maritime skirmishes in 2016 involving warning shots, including one in which Indonesian warships seized a Chinese fishing boat and its crew.

Indonesia is challenging China, one of its biggest investors and trading partners, as it seeks to assert control over a waterway that has abundant resources, particularly oil and natural gas reserves and fish stocks.

Given that China is among Indonesia’s biggest investors and trade partners, some analysts say Jakarta will go only so far in challenging China’s territorial claims, at least publicly. But its more aggressive military posture and other moves regarding the Natunas are nonetheless sending signals to China.
