Group 1: Indonesia's Strategic Moves - On June 29, Indonesian President Prabowo announced a joint venture with China for a super battery factory, with an investment of $5.9 billion, aiming to create a complete battery production chain [3]. - Just a day later, Indonesia's Minister of Economic Affairs announced that rare earths would be a key project in negotiations with the U.S., indicating a strategic pivot under U.S. pressure [3][5]. - This decision raises questions about Indonesia's understanding of the risks involved in leveraging its rare earth resources against China, which holds the critical separation technology necessary for processing these materials [5][7]. Group 2: Implications for China-Indonesia Relations - China's dominance in the rare earth sector means that Indonesia's choice to negotiate with the U.S. could be seen as a challenge to China's established position in the global market [5][7]. - The potential for China to respond with stronger measures in the rare earth supply chain could reshape the dynamics of Indonesia's relationship with both China and the U.S. [7][9]. - Indonesia's reliance on external powers for its rare earth resources may lead to complex political and economic repercussions in the future [10][12].
