Thanks Atul.

The government of Indonesia does not mention specific principle to respond Trump’s foreign policy, right now. We still argued that Indonesia still keeps its principle of bebas-aktif. Despite debatable over the principle, it is the best way for Indonesia to balance China and US powers.

Let us agree with everything you propose. Still, I have a deeper question. The US is turning isolationist. China is the 800-pound gorilla in your neck of the woods. What should be the guiding principle of Indonesian foreign policy during such a time?

Thanks!
