History

After the independence of Indonesia in 1945 and acknowledgement of its sovereignty from the Dutch in 1949, Indonesia established political relations with China (previously with Republic of China and later with People's Republic of China) in 1950. During Sukarno administration China and Indonesia enjoys close relations. In 1950s to 1960s Communist Party of China had close relations with their Indonesian counterparts. However after the failed communist coup in 1965 resulting the fall of Sukarno and the rise of Suharto, in 1967 Indonesia severed the diplomatic relations and held that Communist China was partly responsible behind the coup. The diplomatic relations however, is restored and resumed again in 1990 following the normalization of China-Indonesia diplomatic relations.

Trade

Trade between China and Indonesia is on the rise, especially after the implementation of ACFTA since early 2010. Indeed, while in 2003 trade between Indonesia and China reached only USD 3.8 billion, in 2010 it multiplied almost 10 times reached USD 36.1 billion. However the free trade with China has caused much anxiety in Indonesia, since inflows of cheap products from China could harm Indonesian industry. Indonesian private sector and civil society organizations vigorously lobbied the Indonesian government and members of parliament, insisting that Indonesia should either pull out of the agreement or renegotiate its terms with Beijing .

China has also been one of Indonesia's key major trading partners in recent years, serving as the country's largest export and import market. By 2010, China had managed to overtake the United States as Indonesia's second-largest export destination after Japan reaching USD 14.0 billion. China is also becoming Indonesia's most important source of imports, reaching USD 19.6 billion in 2010. The balance however was in favour of China as Indonesia booked trade deficit USD -4.7 billion in 2010.

From China's perspective, since 2010 ASEAN as a whole has become its fourth-largest trading partner after the European Union, Japan and the United States. Among ASEAN member countries, Indonesia was China's fourth-largest trading partner, which, according to data as of May 2010 from the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, amounted to USD 12.4 billion, after Malaysia (USD 22.2 billion), Singapore (USD 17.9 billion) and Thailand (USD 15.7 billion).
