When Xi Jinping Stick Tight Jokowi

Six months Jokowi government running, already three times met face with Chinese President Xi Jinping. This is certainly an extraordinary silaturrahmi, scheduled, as well as significantly larger in the strategic business plans of both countries. The third meeting of the two heads of state are in the arena of KAA 22 to 24 April 2015. And we can see how close they are, and stick together even though there is still a rigidity of a Xi Jinping, the hallmark of which is the inherent aura of supreme leader of the country most of the bamboo curtain, China.The closeness of the course created jealousy in the East Asian rivals Japan, which also has a lot of business plans and investment in Indonesia, including competition with China fight fast train project in Indonesia. Yet in the end the project "Shinkansen" it fall into the hands of China in conjunction with the signing of the MOU on the sidelines of KAA. So kekinya Japan with the attachment of Xi Jinping together Jokowi and the MOU that, to the extent that it is said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe does not go Historical Walk in Singapore Friday April 24, 2015, the direct return tuh.Throw each other a smile on KAA, Xi Jinping, Jokowi, Shinzo AbeThe closeness of the relationship between officials that it should be able to excite Indonesia to moderate the South China Sea conflict (LCS) which is increasingly leading to the provocation and a power struggle. Indonesia should be able to play its role to bring the main party of China to the negotiating table as well as to demonstrate the spirit of Asia and Africa are "sincere" it. Proximity to Xi Jinping Jokowi should be used to talk about the informal way LCS. Do not most conflict resolution always begins with informal by the way, for example, peace in Cambodia.Jokowi, if only he had an idea and initiative to rush initiate dialogue between the parties attempt claimants LCS, of course track "infrastructure diplomacy" between the two countries will ignite the pattern of relationships is much more slick. Not only as a business and investment plan to build infrastructure worth US $ 50 billion promised China. It could be the stiffness and rigidity of the Chinese diplomatic pattern can be availed with personal dialogues as shown Jokowi and Xi Jinping at KAA just now.But do not forget China remains always count any strict in the matter of cooperation. Military cooperation with Indonesia to jointly produce anti-ship missiles C-705 was barely audible voice. This fact has been predicted since the previous government. We do not know whether this strategic road projects in place or walking quietly or deliberately ignored. It could be too many technical and non technical requirements of the desired Chinese, yes because the calculation of "dimpilnya" it. Together with Pakistan, China pledge to build their infrastructure worth US $ 40 billion ten years ago, its realization is not as sweet promise.Sticking to continue, Jokowi and Xi Jinping in KAAThe interesting thing with China is, business relationships and investment including infrastructure development plan worth 650 trillion in Indonesia is not offset by the closeness of the main military relations strategic plan procurement. Indonesia more confident if that closeness was with Uncle Sam. This can be evidenced by the procurement refurbish 24 F16 fighter jets, Apache helicopter purchase 8, the purchase of air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground, modern combat management consulting, training cyber war, joint exercises between the forces and others. Compare with China, cooperative missile technology C-705 has not appeared bright storyline.It may be the road taken by Indonesia was hanging out with all parties to spur economic growth and military while scheming if at any time a conflict arises unexpectedly. Closer to China to participate wake infrastructure while still trade various commodities. But also prepare for the worst condition if conflict erupts LCS with forming a defensive alliance against China. Or it could be a close relationship with China as a guide for us as a facilitator and mediator of conflict LCS.A clear development of the Indonesian military force is no longer a kemakruhan. But it has become obligatory if it does not want to regret later on. Regional situation is unpredictable, rapidly changing wind and that can ensure the confidence to trust themselves with all the extreme weather disturbances had been a self-defense capability.Only along the 6 months have not seen a detailed plan of what you want to buy defense equipment, where, for what dimension. All still unclear besides the planned arrival of defense equipment from the previous government programs. We so miss the style Purnomo Yusgiantoro who always passionate remarks, at least he was able to awaken the spirit berpertahanan for nations.Three meetings familiar with the number one China Xi Jinping will certainly give a personal connection with the President of Indonesia. We do not know if there are any problems alluded to a regional conflict with China. Personal connection if offset by the ability of diplomacy as conducted by Bung Karno initiated KAA would be more the name of Indonesia in the eyes of the world.Foreign Minister Ali Alatas was a brilliant diplomat with a myriad of achievements. One of them was initiated informal meetings known as JIM (Jakarta Informal Meeting) to reconcile the fight between the elite in Cambodia. The result we can see that Cambodia now, peace and good friends with Vietnam. So berterimakasihnya Cambodia on we finally have an impact on military cooperation in our favor because the Cambodian military "sit and oriented" in Kopassus. A pride. If only we could reconcile the conflict LCS, how honored this country.

Towards Defense Budget 200 T

Commission I was some time ago echoed the spirit berpertahanan by targeting the military budget could reach Rp. 200 T each year in the era of Jokowi. If it is achieved then confirmed Indonesia's defense budget will be number one in ASEAN to surpass Singapore. With the defense budget in 2015 amounted to Rp. 102 T Indonesia ranks second after Singapore.
What is interesting here is that, usually a tradition to expose an increase in the defense budget always echoed repeatedly from the ministry through various opportunities Shohibul temple ceremony or press conference. Turns commanders struggle to increase the budget of the republic has been facilitated by the parliament. This proves that the desire to strengthen the muscles army has been agreed unanimously by all nationalities frame structure, named the main government and parliament.
Military budgets of various countriesAlthough the achievement of a budget of 200 T was with the terms and conditions among other indicators of real economic growth of 7% economic growth and vigor towards the military into the expectations of all parties. Indeed we have been in the growth of welfare towards a better level especially fuel subsidies has been abolished and transferred to the development of infrastructure on a large scale. For example the construction of hundreds of kilometers of toll roads Solo-Kertosono and Bakauheni-Palembang taken over by the Government through the SOE infrastructure.
We just started the construction of large-scale infrastructure, and it will appear the value of his labor at least 3 years. With a budget subsidy budget that is able to double the strength of the infrastructure, plus the nutritional intake of Chinese investment to build various infrastructure package in the country, which reached US $ 50 billion, then the predicted starting in 2018 will provide the strength of economic growth, as aspired together.
Therefore, as the series was causal, then the increase in the defense budget of 200 T is believed to be achieved in 2018 or 2019. This calculation is based on predictions of the progress achieved in the course of an increase in welfare. We believe that the achievement of expected it can be achieved naturally with extraordinary programs are guarded by the government together with the Parliament.Navy frigate escorted by ApacheIndonesian military spending is a desire to be kept exhaled because we do not want dikata-katain like this, a new post has been burgled trellis. We want to fence the territory guarded by warships, submarines and fighter jets capable of barking and biting. Do not just barking but when the same stone ditimpuk neighbors and then silenced or even yelped. So classy herder guards should not mongrel or even a poodle. If we want to carry a fixed price then the Homeland defense equipment herder classy and well-being of a brilliant soldier also died dong prices.
The Ministry of Defence would have had great plans to choose the best for the military defense equipment is also improving the welfare of soldiers. This means that the proposals put forward user that is the primary choice for strengthening various types of defense equipment desired. Including echoes the spirit of strengthening the military with a view to ensuring the strength of berpertahanan "not embarrassing" if one day, then there is a conflict with other countries.
Aglow with the spirit berpertahanan is to provide assurance to all components of the nation that the dynamic conditions of the region can not be predicted. So we must strengthen our defense tool even if we do not want to fight with the neighbor, did not want to conflict with other countries. Prioritize the things that smelled cliché as we can not fight with other countries, ASEAN countries well all, we had no problem with China or Australia will not bother us, it's better to focus on natural disasters, is an opinion to underestimate the nature of the defense itself.
We still need fighter squadrons, dozens of combatant ships, dozens of submarines and other defense equipment to ensure high-power destroyed the value of the fixed price Homeland. Then the increase in the defense budget that continuously is needed by this country because of the vast area that must be maintained and ensure no disruption territory even aggression plans of other countries because we have a strong military.
The achievement of budget 200T is certainly not a dream. We believe we can reach it even going past the nominal starting in 2020. Achievement of the budget of that is certainly capable of mensumringahkan us because with it we can fund spending quality of defense equipment and the latest technology in tune with the increase in the welfare of soldiers.
Mewibawakan a certain national pride by developing welfare posture and strength. Mewibawakan a territory and with the strengthening of the state acknowlege palisade. We already started to pour large amounts of military spending. We will continue to build the strength that until then the value of the dignity and valor had emerged from the conclusions drawn by those who would try to interfere.
