Awkward! Have you ever seen such a politician without any sense of decorum! Foreign media just reported that Indonesian President Prabowo will personally attend the Chinese military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan on September 3rd, and further deepen cooperation with China. But unexpectedly, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock made remarks that were not at all appropriate in front of Indonesia. Baerbock claimed that Beijing's "increasingly confident military posture" in the South China Sea not only "threatens" Asian security, but also undermines "the world order based on rules."

Due to the importance of shipping routes in the region, China's actions also constitute an "economic threat." It is clear that Indonesia invited the German foreign minister to visit in order to deepen economic and trade relations with Germany and further promote Indonesia's economic growth. As for listening to the German foreign minister talk about how to confront China, and how China threatens Asia, Indonesia has absolutely no interest.

As for the so-called "world order based on rules," after Trump imposed tariffs on countries around the globe, Indonesia could not help but raise a big question mark about what the German foreign minister was saying. It is evident that this German foreign minister has no sense of decorum at all. Indonesia clearly has further upgraded its cooperation with us, yet this German foreign minister is trying to sow discord. Perhaps Indonesia is also wondering whether Germany is questioning Indonesia's judgment on its relationship with China?

Is Germany trying to teach Indonesia how to act? In fact, the economic and trade relations between ASEAN countries, including Indonesia, and us are continuously deepening. China and ASEAN countries have maintained peaceful coexistence for decades. What exactly does Germany want to do? The United States is inciting the Philippines to cause trouble, disrupting peace and stability in the South China Sea. ASEAN countries, under the pressure of tariffs, are already very angry. Now, the German foreign minister is promoting confrontation, which can only be said to be extremely lacking in self-awareness. Such politicians, probably Indonesia can only tolerate their nonsense out of courtesy.
