Very astute observations.
Developing a relationship with Indonesia is a good idea.
I have spent six months in Australia.
I detected what I thought was a growing Chinese influence.
Much of the Australian economy is intertwined with China.
I share your concerns.
I just got back from Australia, Sydney in particular.
I seriously thought I was in China the whole time, with all of the Chinese tourists there.
