Only because of Uncle Sam. Next round might not have the same results. I don’t have a dog in this one either way. Just that don’t be a pot calling the kettle black. Every time the west opens its mouth on China you have to take a mouthful of history and it will rarely taste good.

It is ok to be British thru and thru, atleast be intellectually honest and look within your own acts before judging others. Especially the colonial king pens of Great Britain.

Previously, Bakamla also mentioned the conditions in Natunawaters. Bakamla said there were hundreds of Chinese and Vietnamese ships on the border, but they were not detected by radar.​

"While they have been there for a long time, Vietnamese ships and the Chinese coast guard," he added.

Looks like he isn't worried about the US Military ships

Correct, it is because US present is actually boldening Indonesia and ASEAN position in SCS since the dispute is not between Indonesia and USA and USA formally support Indonesia and ASEAN position on this dispute. Talking about US present is just to give impression we are neutral and dont want to be seen as being sided between the rivalry of USA and China. More like cosmetic statement as we all know that.

Regardless of that, China also doesnt want to play hard with Indonesia. This is why we can completely do the drilling in a new found oil and gas field even though the location lies in the disputed region with China. China of course send the diplomatic protest and shadowing our vessel when we do the drilling under protection of our Navy ships, but nevertheless we can complete the drilling as part of the survey before fully operating the oil and gas field about several years from now.

I guess Indonesia will find more Vietnam and Malaysia ship far more than Chinese. This is a cheap way to play up anti Chinese sentiment within locals. Indonesian politicians must have gotten US monies for doing this.

The nearest Chinese output is a small build up at Cuarteron reef containing just a few antennas, and no runway. After a lot Vietnam held Island, then we reach Natuna.

Also this Natuna is nearer to Sarawak than Chinese Spratly.
