Prabowo Subianto: China and Chinese Investment

prabowo subianto: While incumbent President Joko Widodo stressed on Indonesia's thirst for foreign investments, including from China, his opponent, Prabowo Subianto, vowed to review the China-invested railway project linking Jakarta and Bandung, according to Global Times China. The Chinese-relevant topic that emerged in the Indonesian election is not an isolated case. During campaigns, topics over Chinese investment were put under the spotlight. Among developing countries which underwent elections or military coups, China's economic and trade relations with them have become a hot issue, especially since the Belt and Road Initiative BRI was first proposed by China six years ago. An increasing number of Chinese topics show that BRI is of great significance to their economy and people's livelihood. BRI has brought about an inevitable boost in China's influence.
