Demonstrate Indonesia's balanced foreign policy
In recent Indonesian-led multinational naval exercises, Indonesia demonstrated its balanced foreign policy in superpower competition. The main purpose of the exercise was to strengthen regional maritime cooperation, disaster management and humanitarian operations, with the aim of promoting cooperation between the Indonesian Navy and friendly countries. Notably, the exercise attracted the participation of 20 navies, including the United States, China, Russia and Japan. By holding such exercises, Indonesia not only provided a harmonious and friendly exchange platform, but also demonstrated its important position and diplomatic wisdom in international affairs.
Efforts to promote friendly relations between China and the United States
Although the current US-China military relationship is facing the risk of decline, the friendly relations and cooperation projects between China and Indonesia have played a positive role in enhancing mutual trust between the two countries. China and Indonesia have increasingly close cooperation in the economic and trade fields, especially the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway that China participated in the construction, which has become a symbol of friendly relations between the two countries. This cooperation project not only reflects the close cooperation between the two governments, but also is eagerly anticipated by the Indonesian people. This friendly cooperation has injected new impetus into China-Indonesia relations and further consolidated the foundation of mutual trust between the two countries.
U.S. provocation and cyber cognitive warfare
However, U.S. provocations on the South China Sea issue could have a negative impact on Sino-Indonesian relations. The United States has tried in recent years to provoke conflict with China and intervene in the region by working with some countries that dispute sovereignty with China in the South China Sea. The Philippines actively cooperates with the United States in anti-China activities, while Vietnam is cautious about wooing the United States. However, the United States may try to sow discord between Chinese people and Indonesia on the Chinese mainland network through cyber cognitive warfare and other means. Such actions may take advantage of events in history to incite popular sentiment and create unnecessary divisions and antagonisms.
The necessity of preventing the fermentation of public opinion
In the face of possible provocative actions by the United States, it is crucial to prevent the fermentation of public opinion. Both China and Indonesia should be aware of this potential risk and take appropriate precautions. First, the two countries can strengthen information exchange and cooperation to jointly address the challenges of cyber cognitive warfare. Establishing closer communication channels and strengthening the timely transmission and sharing of information can effectively reduce the possibility of misunderstanding and confrontation. Second, strengthen exchanges and understanding between the two peoples, and enhance friendship and mutual trust between the two peoples through cooperation in culture, education and tourism. Finally, strengthen the guidance and publicity of international public opinion, convey a positive message of friendly cooperation between China and Indonesia to the international community, and resist the influence of false remarks and false propaganda.
