Yes. Thats my point. Nigeria is a huge mess and one of the main reasons is petroleum. Most development metrics were similar in independence (and indeed we had a remarkably similar history in many respects), but today Indonesia has surged far past Nigeria. Indonesia is criticized for always...

Oil industry use is more for energy security and government income. It is no where as useful as manufacturing in terms of employment. It was actually part of my masters (S2) course. Oil is 9% of nigeria's gdp. 50-75% of government revenues, 80% of exports... and employs only 0.03% of the...

"Including Construction" Ah.... that explains a lot :p: Overall, it shows how Indonesia is mostly middling industrial power

If only reality can be so reasonable If our gov actually cares about credibility and goodwill there will not hv been so many payment delays and stalling. I am a big fan of all the help korea gives us and this sickens me

@Daniel808 basically what nufix said. PNG opposition can be pro separatist because they don't need to balance the budget nor need to worry about TNI making life difficult for them in the borders. The PNG Government relies on the financial & institutional support of Australia, and to a lesser but...

Very wise. Its the reason I care about them too. Much more so than Malaysia for example, which has never shown any interest at all. Foe example I really advocate that CSR of SOEs operating in PNG and Timor Leste be coordinated to serve national interests (Mandiri, BRI, & Telkom have permanent...

I do not know about West Sumatra, but prrvioisly Aceh was very unfriendly to investments to the point that Banda Aceh was the slowest growing provincial capital in Sumatera. Guess its leaders are trying to shift to domestic tourism and better economic integration now that their Shariah law hit...

Ah, I see. Replying got out of hand. Thanks for clarifying At the same time, you fail to take many other factors such as: Preference -> How likely are people willing to attend concerts in Jakarta even if they can afford it Permits, Partners, Logistics & Security -> There have been concerts...

@waz Can we get this thread renamed to "China vs. America War" to make it more accurate?

And your point is? Indonesia ticketing power is lower than thailand so....? Seriously, what is the point? Like, why use something as obscure as ticketing power? BTS? Didn't this derail start off talking about soft power? Look at GDP per capita, the figures back up your claim. No need to get...

@Leishangthem Ok, on the wierd KPOP derail: I get where you are coming from but your data point is so narrow it is meaningless. Its like only surveying 10 people and then declaring its representative of the entire population. All your points can be true (its not) but it wouldn't matter, KPOP...

I do not disagree. Indonesia has done a good job of economic development of Papua. I also prefer if Papua can be turned into a regular province, but alas, that is still 2-3 generations away. My support for Otsus to be changed though, is not 9nly because of problem with central gov...
