China often says that "new officials take three fires", and the new President Plabovo of Indonesia apparently ordered these "three fires" to the South China Sea.
A few days ago, the Indonesian Maritime Affairs Bureau issued a statement saying that the Chinese maritime police ship appeared again in Indonesias jurisdiction, and Indonesia conducted a "deportation". This is the third time in the past week, the third time Indonesia has rubbed in the South China Sea with the Chinese Maritime Police.

ThisOn the 24th, the Indonesian Maritime Affairs Bureau had issued a statement saying that it was "tough" a Chinese maritime ship at the northern waters of the northern part of the South China Sea.At that time, the Indonesian side also dispatched military planes and warships; two days later, Indonesia confronted the Chinese maritime police again. When , the Chinese law enforcement vessel sent by China was a 4,000 -ton maritime police 5402 ship, The 323 ships with a small tonnage were sent out. In this confrontation, both Chinese ships and Indonesian ships were unloaded .
This time Indonesia not only repeats the trick, but also said that Indonesias position in the South China Sea has not changed, and it will take appropriate action to "defend its territory."
But it should be noted that my country and Indonesia do not have disputes in territorial sovereignty. The two sides exist in some seas of the South China Sea. The maritime rights and interests of the Naita Islands proclaimed by Indonesia have overlapped with China ’s rights and interests in the South China Sea 98,000 square kilometers of waters.
A rich oil and gas and fishery resources near the Naita Islands.It is said that in the 1970s, 222 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves were discovered. In order to compete for underwater resources, Indonesia often conducts oil exploration in the overlapping area in the name of the development economic zone, and attempts to prevent legal activities in other countries.

Frequently detained Chinese fishing vessels such as China, which frequently work near this sea area.Since 2014, Indonesia has implemented a more tough "shipwreck policy" to bomb all foreign fishing vessels that have entered its claim to "Indonesia." In 2015 alone, there were 148 fishing vessels from China, Vietnam and Malaysia were detained and bombed, and more than 95%of them occurred in the sea area.
In recent years, with the steady rise of relations between China and Indonesia, and the advancement of the two countries negotiations on seas, Indonesias actions on related issues are still gentle.Now suddenly provoking the Chinese maritime police three times in a short time, it is obviously intending to gather their eyes.
It is worth noting that Prabowo has recently sworn in Indonesia President.In this context, His series of actions has a somewhat "new officers three fires". Obviously, he wants to use this to show his determination to defend national interests at home and abroad.
In addition, his visit to China also has the purpose of seeking support from China, such as hoping to attract China to invest in the construction of a large seawall, and promote Indonesia to join the BRICS countries.Wait.This stiring up in the South China Sea may also be intended to add chips to negotiations.

However, This approach is obviously unwise:
On the one hand, This will have a negative impact on the relationship between Indonesia and China
