Indonesia's President Joko Widodo Sits Down For Exclusive Interview

A Conversation with Joko Widodo: Indonesia's President discusses Russia, China, electric vehicles, commodities and resource nationalism with Bloomberg's Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait.

"Are you ready for war", what kind of question is that? He is asking this question to the wrong nation, he should ask this question to US and China instead.

betul sekali, mereka ingin memprovokasi indonesia supaya berpihak. tetapi perlu kalian ketahui, bahwa indonesia sejak lama punya hubungan baik secara militer dengan rusia, dan hubungan diplomatik dengan AS, itu sejak presiden pertama indonesia. selain itu jiwa patriot warganya sangat tinggi, anda tidak akan menemukan bangsa sehebat indonesia dalam membangun sebuah negara didunia mananpun, kalau tidak percaya lihatlah organisasi masyarakat indonesia. itu baru sebagian kecilnya, belum lagi dari kalangan ulama dan pemuda pemudinya.

I think Bloomberg has bias toward China. It’s unfair to speculate the situation about China and Taiwan, and bully Indonesia, and asked Indonesia : are you ready? For a war? That the US always scared us. I’m proud that Jokowi responded wisely and continued saying how important the dialog is. Indonesia is a friendly country. We welcome everyone. We focus on building our country’s economy and improve Indonesians life value. So please don’t bully and questioned our decisions, but help us and support us. Let’s build better world.

[@Aldnon]

Yeah I agree with you, most of the question like "Are you ready for war" should be directed to US and China, instead of Indonesia. Jokowi simply don't want to have any part in this stupid rivalries. It's like asking Switzerland to be ready to pick a side during WW2.

This interview showed how poor the American perception has on ASEAN and most importantly Indonesia. America is clearly wanting Indonesia and ASEAN to pick sides. Food security, regional peace and truce in Ukraine were overlooked by the Americans. It is really unfortunate that a country with stature such as the USA is provoking tensions and war to break out in the Asian region; how could he just said there would be military conflict in 2027. John should be ashamed when the president deftly answered the first four questions and not fell to the provocation tactics. The world will be a tough place to live in if the only way to go up is by pulling someone else down. That kind of thinking is archaic.

Agree! it's a stone-age barbaric way of thinking, and it's sooooooo typical for Western media & politicians' blatant ignorance on how cultures other than Western culture works. For us who understand Javanese culture (President Jokowi is Javanese) and Asian culture in general, the way the President is responding has already sent a clear message of his (and Indonesia's) standpoint on US-China's conflict. In a regular social communication setting in Indonesia, the person who posed such questions would have already backed off & no longer further pursued in such an ignorant & impolite manner. The questions were posed as if the President or Indonesians were not observant of how the overall conflict was started and developing.

i like that the interviewer asked direct questions. Jokowi also answered smartly, although at some point he was a bit pissed / irritated. But that means a good thing, as he had the opportunity to clear up some things that the interviewer or audience doubt about him. The question about palm oil and deforestation were also on point. It's good to know that the government has issued a lot of reforestation movements. I did not know that before. I like Jokowi and what he has done in Indonesia, but one of a few things that I doubt about him is his commitment to ecology, nature, and life science. I see his policies as a strong push towards greater economy and wealth of Indonesia people. As long as Indonesian people get benefit from it, he will do it, despite that that decision might have to sacrifice nature. But his answer on reforestation answered my doubt (a bit). Thanks Pak Jokowi, Pak John and Bloomberg.

Wartawan ini tidak menguasai materi dan persiapan cukup luas mengenai materi yang akan ditanyakan kepada Presiden Jokowi sehingga terkesan hit and run , tidak ada explorasi lebih dalam atas jawaban presiden. Setiap pertanyaan sangat mudah dijawab presiden bahkan berikut angkanya. Jokowi salah satu presiden yang mempunyai kekuatan menghafal angka-angka sehingga memudahkan menjelaskan persoalan yang ada.

China and other countries invested billions of dollars in Indonesia, while US is much lower. Your question should be to US: "Why they don't want to invest in Indonesia?" But hopefully when someday Indonesia economic is growing much faster, US will treat Indonesia like an enemy similar to what happened to China. That ridiculously sounds ridiculous.😆 If they want to win the market. then adjust the products to the markets' need. For example: Indonesia street is relatively narrow, so if they want to sell cars in Indonesia, they need to adjust the car size etc accordingly or if they want Indonesia to have a much wider road then invest in it! Just like Freeport, it has been exploited for many years. The permits is for copper but in reality they took lots of gold and let people of Papua undeveloped.

Malaysia wont be catch up Indonesia progress because of 2 major things : 1. Racist based policy in Malaysia. You need to get rid the privileges of Malay, therefore all Malaysian no matter their race is would have incentive to work as hard as they can for their home. 2. Get rid the privilege of Sultanates. Become pure Republic, those Royal families should not intervene to any public policy as they do today for the benefit of their businesses and interest. Only when above 2 things gone Malaysia will be catching up. Otherwise, Malaysian will be soon left by Vietnam, and Phillipine.

Nope, Sukarno is only 1 place above Suharto. Jokowi is place 2nd. Habibie is on the top. Followed by Jokowi and SBY. Then Abdurrachman Wakhid. That's the best 4 for me.

Even before european colonialist come to modern indonesia, kingdoms and sultanates that today become indonesia has become such a balancing power between various large empires in asia pacific. For example, during srivijaya era. Srivijaya kingdom have foreign politic of connecting various kingdoms and empires, including those who's hating each other. Because of this, srivijaya got so much respect from various kingdoms and empires for more than half millenia. Even buddhist university, the largest buddhist university were build in srivijaya's capital of Palembang City to facilitate srivijaya's foreign politic Then, in the era of majapahit empire, majapahit balancing chinese influence in asia pacific to hold them from being overpower and expanding further to south east asia. Majapahit military at that time is more superior than chinese empire's military. This is gave chinese empire enough warning to not expand even further to south east asia

America is not losing the hearts and minds of Indonesians. There are more Indonesians in US colleges than China (China has more Indonesian students but they're mostly learning Mandarin only). We're only doing business with China. America just needs to put their money where their mouth is. We do military trainings with western countries every year. The top military leaderships are western graduates. Our former President (a former General himself) graduated from Wharton. We're very much western minded. But if you don't invest what are we supposed to do? Not grow? Be pragmatic. In 1970s the Japanese didn't want to open their car factory in Indonesia telling us we weren't capable of producing their cars and yet they still wanted to do business with us. What did the government do, allegedly? Orchestrated a massive riot, burning japanese cars in the streets. What did the Japanese do? They started producing their cars here and now more than 90% of cars you see throughout Indonesia are Japanese. Win-win, the Japanese made money and the Indonesian government reduced unemployment. Be pragmatic.

[@ssrbgangimaribotan6thofthe12]

uhh... currently a lot of indonesian are learning economics or trades or business related stuff in china (i'm included)... the second largest is chinese literature (or mandarin as you said) if its tech or medicine related i agree most goes to america, but idk about other majors.
