Indonesia says Chinese coast guard vessel driven out of disputed waters second time this week

A fresh flare-up of maritime tensions between Indonesia and China -- the latest in a string of run-ins between Southeast Asian nations and Beijing in disputed waters. Indonesia said it drove a Chinese coast guard vessel out of its waters in the North Natuna Sea. China said its coast guard was carrying out routine patrols in accordance with international law. This is the second such incursion this week, following another disruption in the South China Sea on Monday. Randy Mulyanto reports.

Indonesia has never caused any unrest, let alone harmed neighboring countries. But when we are disturbed, we also have to act.

Pada catatan arab berangka tahun 851 Masehi, berjudul Rihlah As Sirafi, tercatat bahwa Jawa (Sekarang Indonesia) adalah penguasa lautan ke-6. Lautan ke-6 sendiri dalam catatan itu adalah wilayah lautan Champa sampai ke Hanoi. Tercatat pula bahwa dalam catatan dinasti Tang bahwa Jawa pernah menyerang pantai Tonkin, Hanoi, yang saat itu adalah bagian dari protektorat dinasti Tang.

Dari sumber sejarah ini, jelas bahwa Indonesia adalah penguasa Laut Cina Selatan jika merujuk kepada sejarah. Meski begitu Indonesia selalu taat kepada aturan internasional dan tidak seperti Cina yang klaim wilayah perairan orang lain hanya berdasarkan sejarah saja.

How ironic is that when China is saying its action is with accordance with international law HAHAHAHA

[HengWeijian-cdiz]

What remains Indonesian waters should remain AS Indonesian waters. China Does NOT have any say in Indonesian territorial claims, thus such actions to indirectly interfere in Indonesian waters is unnecessary.

The Chinese should adhere to the international law that has been referred to by the UN so that it is fair to not just itself but also other nations in ASEAN and internationally who uses the sea for trading routes to feed the economies of the various nations.

China is trying to measure what's the reaction of the new President of Indonesia when it comes to incursions in Natuna area. That would be their bases on their next move. This part of what China called Cabbage Strategy or Salami slicing.

Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, India, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Philippines need unite like NATO alliance

[dondieplicer]

Ito yong nag patutuo na walang bully kong walang mag bully, salute to Indonesia, sa Ganon din ang mga bantay dagat natin, hindi poro sumbong dapat ding may action.

[davidsaputra]

Indonesia is truly a country that does not want to interfere with other countries either in terms of territory or anything else. That is why Indonesia is a non-aligned country. But if anyone disturbs our territory or sovereignty, we can be brutal. Remember the incident in 98, many Chinese in Indonesia were targeted and killed in that dark era.

Sorry, China 🇨🇳! The North Natuna Sea is *not in dispute.* It belongs to Indonesian 🇮🇩 EEZ.
The Hague Tribunal already settled it by its ruling in 2016.
- Whether China likes it or not, the ruling is *final and legally binding.*

[akuadalahaku]

Efeknya akan lebih panas apabila Tiongkok berani memperlakukan Laut Natuna seperti Filipina....kita orang Indonesia tidak mau mengganggu orang, tapi kami jangan di ganggu...
Mau Coba Silahkan kalau mau

[pehclark]

The Chinese vessels ram the patrol boat leh at least 2000km away from China coastline. And the Indonesian ships are in their own EEZ.

In July 2017, Indonesia renamed the northern reaches of its exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea as the "North Natuna Sea", which is located north of the Indonesian Natuna Regency, bordering southern Vietnam's exclusive economic zone.
