| 2005-12-26 |
| From the Rantburg "It's All About Oiiiiil Desk", via East Asia Intel, subscription. China is working to build its ties to Indonesia as part of an effort to expand influence in Asia. Same with Venezuela, Zim-Bob, Sudan, Iran, see a pattern here? Chinese Vice President Zeng Qinghong said China wants a strategic partnership with Indonesia. He spoke after meeting Indonesian House Speaker Agung Laksono in Beijing. Whatcha think about that, Australia? China wants to block U.S. influence in Southeast Asia by developing closer ties with states like Indonesia, which has energy resources that China needs for modernization. It's all about oiiiiil™. Zeng said China and Indonesia are increasing political, economic and military ties. |
