US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Indonesia on the first leg of his visit to southeast Asia. Top of the agenda is Chinese influence in the region and Washington's attempts to counter it.

Blinken is expected to lay out the US approach in the region in a speech on Tuesday. The US is also keen on stepping up engagement with the 10-member Association of Southeast Nations or ASEAN, of which Indonesia is an active member.

Indonesia has very significant economic interests with China. China is Indonesia’s second largest foreign investor with investment reaching 4.8 Billion USD in 2020.

Chinese investment in Indonesia has increased every year since 2016. And last year, Indonesia’s exports to China increased to 37.4 billion USD. An increase of 10.10 per cent from 2019.
