摘要

This article analyzes Indonesia's foreign policy in the context of the confrontation between the U.S. and China in the Indo-Pacific region. The U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy first was proposed by President Obama and implemented by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. President Trump further re-arranged the U.S.'s international engagements strictly to make sure ＂America first＂. This article will discuss the following topics. What are the attitudes of Indonesia toward the U.S. and China, the current great powers in the region? How important is Indonesia to the U.S. in its Indo-Pacific strategy? What was and is Indonesia's foreign policy under President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (2004-2014) and President Joko Widodo (2014 onwards)? How did or do they lead the country to respond to the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy? Finally, what are the Joko Widodo administration's possible future policies toward Taiwan?
