  24. Being a British POW: becomes Manchester City footballer. Being a Japanese POW: becomes foot. Note: - British POW category "C", a Luftwaffe soldier named Bernhard Carl Trautmann.. during his captivity in England, played football and became a goalkeeper in Manchester City. That was after months of escape from French and Soviet captivity. Also the first one who promoted Adidas in Great Britain. - Japanese soldiers were reduced into cannibalism during the New Guinea campaign in the Pacific.

  28. No. Some of them frustrated because the idea of this pandemic is the limitation of activities.. me and my friends are unable to get a job because there is no job fair and some companies were on "hiring freeze" from February 2020 until perhaps the end of 2020. Many companies like Giant retail chain fired thousands of people, further increasing the already crowded job market.

  31. India can make its own nuke & space program without being too dependant to foreign powers. Indonesia simply can't, it's too dependent either to China or USA, even its fast train project built & funded by China & without proper feasibility study before is now putting Indonesia under serious debt with concession of 80 years. India is self sufficient enough and have indigenous automotive brands like Tata, Royal Enfield, TVS, Bajaj.. Indonesia doesn't have any. Big difference.
    58
  32. Why they are using paintball gun though. Also, nice to see India with its new camo pattern.
    55
  33. The new Indian Army camo pattern does looks good and more effective than the previous one. Because the pixelated camo is smaller and better at blending than the large pattern of old camo (noticeable especially at close). Just issue them with proper plate carrier vest and modern helmet (ACH / FAST), they will look even more complete. Greetings from Indonesia ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ

  34. Religion.. in particular, Islam is the problem for humanity. It creates "us" vs "them" mentality, instead of unity.

  36. But back in the 1970s during the Vietnamese refugee crisis, Indonesia was indeed a secular & nationalist country, a very tolerant one. Back then in the 1970s Indonesian women were not wearing hijab (except the very religious one) & nonmuslims/muslims dichotomy was basically non-existent then. Stop comparing it with Indonesia today.
    46
  37. Answer is.. not because of capitalism. But because of overpopulation. Of course it is stressful living in a country with world's 2nd most numerous population. More people means more competition for limited resources/life opportunity, thus more pressure.

  43. This ill-trend is not only in US but in many countries as well. Especially in overpopulated country like Indonesia (mine). I remember that my father generation who reached their mid 20s in 1990s were not required of any job experience prior, received job training, also a permanent contract. So my father generation are able to buy house and raise a family just from that job income. Now even entry level jobs require minimum 1 year of experience, then there is ageism (no more than 25 yrs old), and then no training, plus less job security (can be fired anytime). HRDs view their employees as disposable because plenty of young unemployed people out there waiting just to get a minimum wage job even if that means they will be exploited.

  50. If you want equal socioeconomic distribution.. build new industrial zones, not an extravagant new capital. Batam is advanced than the majority of Indonesia provinces because it serves as industrial and economic hub, not because "it is our capital city". If you want equal distribution then build industrial zones in every PROVINCES .. building new capital city is actually again a very centralistic mindset. I bet the situation in Sulawesi Tengah, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Maluku, and Papua Barat provinces would still be the same even after this costly new capital city has been finished. Because these provinces have no industrial zone for job creation and local economic acceleration.

  51.  @getgaijoobed6219  US banning some of China's tech companies is actually not a new thing. China already banned various foreign tech companies who wanted to invest in China since 2010. So banning them back is also a long term counterback-policy.

  54. The footage of British soldiers carrying new L85 bullpup rifle & wearing new uniform was an icon of the conflict, even became a theme for The Cranberries' "Zombie" videoclip.. a song criticizing the dehumanisation of both sides to each other which happened during war. The videoclip was depicting British soldiers patrolling & children playing, then the British soldiers shot at the children. While the song itself was made as after the Warrington Bombing by IRA in 1993.
    34
  55. Hey remember. Somalia conflict was an international effort. Somalia warlords & clan-ism problem got out of control, causing instability in that region such as refugee crisis & sea piracy near the strategic international trade route "Horns of Africa". Not because of "American evul" cliche. In fact, Farah Aidid met his demise in the hands of rival warlord Osman Ali Atto, not by the American soldiers or UN contingents.

  60. I'm an introvert, but even pandemic is harsh to me. Why? Because of "hiring freeze" and companies (especially in service sectors) fired their employees, activity limitations means there will be no job fair anymore until undecided time in the future, rising unemployment.. makes it harder to me to get job.

  61. Funny how HR expected integrity, while at the same time they don't exactly value honesty from candidates and from their own employees. Funny again because companies are often lying about the jobdesc & employment contracts.

  62. This video is so old that you can see BDR / West Germany was still using US-made "Duster" self propelled AA gun & Patton MBT, Super Bazooka antitank rocket, license-made Belgium FN FAL (G1), and even mock up tanks to save for economy. But then in 1960s.. BDR made their own stuffs such as Leopard 1, G3 battle rifle, Panzerfaust 44 "Lanze" & Panzerfaust 3 antitank launcher, Schutzenpanzer Kurz, Marder, Gepard, Spahpanzer Luchs, Bo-105 helicopter, etc. While on the other side of the border, the DDR / East Germany was not capable of producing their own stuffs other than Trabant & Wartburg cars, most of their army was using Soviet-made equipment up until the reunification of Germany in 1990.

  71. Not really. Before Saddam even ousted from power, religion extremism was already existed, see the Al Otaybi (a staunch wahabbist) siege of Mecca in 1970s.

    27
  72. โ€‹ @krishnajena2622  Nope. More population = more unemployment. Especially if the automatization by AI & machines are in full charge in the future.

Thus many are willing to sign a low paying job contract or with horrible worklife balance, just in order not to be unemployed.

  81.  @editorizal  It is overpopulated. Transmigration waves in 1970s-1990s were already tried by Indo govt to spread the population into remote area all around Indonesia, but of course it failed. Who wants to live in remote Sulawesi while the job offers are mostly at Makassar industrial zone? People naturally seeking for better living standards & return to cities, because most of jobs are located in the cities. Plus Indonesians during 1970-2000s didn't obey the government's Planned Families / "Keluarga Berencana" (two children policy), so the population numbers explode uncontrollably today. The so called "demographic bonus", but more like "demographic burden".

Indonesia is one of the only countries where ageism issue e.g. "maximum 25 yrs old to apply this position" is normalized, while in a more developed country ageism issue is considered as discriminatory in hiring practice. This indicates more population / more unemployed people in Indonesia than the available job vacancies, that the employers in Indonesia started to filter candidates with maximum age limitation to apply..

  123. Because Netherlands was among the first nations (among Spain, Portugal, and Great Britain) who colonized other countries abroad for spices. Even France & Prussia/Germany was late at that, while Holy Roman Empire/Austro-Hungary never even had an overseas colony e.g. in the West/East Indies. And even after that, the colonies were demanded by the Dutch to pay for "debts". For example, Indonesia after its independence in 1949 paid 600 million Guilder to Dutch government during the 1966 negotiation (the nominal would have been much higher before the 1966 negotiation). Dutch got away with that h0rrible act.

You forgot the key fact: Khmer Rouge deposed the pro-US Lon Nol administration of Cambodia in 1976 ... Yes, I said it again: Khmer Rouge evicted the only pro-US regime in that region. Why on earth USA wanted to support Khmer Rouge if Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge was against USA and ruined their interest here? Instead, it was China who supported the Pol Pot in power, because China is looking for influence after the Sino-Soviet Split. That was why China got angry when Vietnam refused to bow to China, then Vietnam decided to attack Cambodia in 1978-1979 which threatened China's interest in there. As response, China invaded the Soviet-backed Vietnam in 1979 but ultimately failed and Vietnamese troops didn't leave Cambodia until 1989.

Raden Wijaya was his son & he and the scattered remnants of the-then disorganized Singhasari soldiers then saw opportunity when Yuan expedition forces came. He persuaded the Yuan soldiers that Kediri kingdom = Singhasari kingdom who dared against the Yuan (deception). After the death of Jayakatwang and then Yuan soldiers were defeated by Raden Wijaya soldiers, the new kingdom was built and based as the successor of Singhasari kingdom: Majapahit kingdom, later became empire.

Meanwhile, the concept of "saving face" is actually quite prevalent among the East Asians. P.R. China (especially led by an autocratic regime not unlike Japan in WW2) for example, still didn't want to acknowledge crimes committed during invasion of Tibet 1949 (even the Dalai Lama had to flee to save himself) and Vietnam 1979! Still didn't acknowledge Mao Zedong's murderous reign during "Cultural Revolution" and still put his picture on Tiananmen Square! Imagine if Japanese do the same today, put Hideki Tojo's picture on Tower of Tokyo???

Explain why Karelia (originally Finnish territory) and Kaliningrad (originally Polish territory) are not returned by Russia despite the fall of Soviet Union, yet these areas are not invaded by NATO? Instead, Russia poisoned Ukrainian politicians like Viktor Yuschenko in 2004 and finally invaded Ukraina in 2014 and 2022.. this is the first land invasion in mainland Europe since WW2 (not even including Soviet invasion of Hungary 1956 and Czechoslovakia 1968).

Indonesia is overly too reliant to China or USA, the HSR debts is yet to be solved, IKN (Indonesia new capital project) is straining the country's budget & disrupting other national priorities (such as education improvement). While Indonesia has 2nd highest unemployment rate in Southeast Asia. Indonesia doesn't have local car manufacturers let alone EV cars manufacturers, let alone nuclear & space program self-capability.

After that, the popular Cambodians supported Khmer Rouge / Pol Pot cause and Lon Nol was overthrown in 1976. Also remember, in 1971, under Kissinger advise, US / Nixon administration made a deal of new alliance with China and threw away Taiwan's place in UN seat. All while China supported Khmer Rouge against Soviet-backed Vietnam. So what we get was millions of cambodians lost their lives during Khmer Rouge regime in 1976-1978.

It was a massacre toward alleged communist sympathizers after the failed coup by Communist Party of Indonesia and the assassination of Indonesia's prominent generals (incl. Ahmad Yani). Most of the victims of the massacre were actually Javanese ethnic who worked as farmers or labors and unknowingly joined communist membership. Admittedly it was horrible but then again.. if Communist ruled in Indonesia, then it would be similar as with Cambodia where Pol Pot (backed by P.R. China) massacred millions of Cambodians 1976-1978 who were accused of being "western" or contra-revolution. Meanwhile mainland China slaughtered the Uighur people in East Turkestan and replaced it with Han Chinese population.

For example, in 1964-1965 Communist Party of Indonesia demanded the formation of "the fifth column" (angkatan kelima) and Mao Zedong sent hundred of thousands of Type 56 "Chung" SKS semi-auto rifles initially to be used for the communist party of Indonesia. But this act made Ahmad Yani (by then the commander of Indonesian Armed Forces), saw the danger, and he denied the formation of the communist "fifth column". As a result, communists in Indonesia forged a conspiracy & launched a coup against Ahmad Yani which murdered him and many other generals

Then again, as an Indonesian myself, Sukarno was dangerously brought Indonesia out from its nonbloc stance in favor to communist countries because of his narcissism and obsession with his cult of personality (he was seduced by Communist Party of Indonesia and be praised as "revolutionary leader", while in his personal life he was having too many wives.. outrageous even for that time's standards) while Indonesia was under serious economics problem and low literacy rate. Even Vice President Mochammad Hatta (he and Sukarno read the declaration of Indonesia's independence in 1945) ultimately left Sukarno alone because Sukarno was deemed too dictatorial during late 1950s. Now compare it with India which not only cautious of United States but also communist countries after China invasion of India in 1962. Compare it again with Yugoslavia under Tito which wasn't willing to join Warsaw Pact & was the largest trading partner for the west despite being a communist country.

P.R.China, meanwhile, did supported and armed the Khmer Rouge rebels prior to 1970 and even invaded Vietnam when Vietnam counterattacked Khmer Rouge in 1978 because it endangered China's interest here.

  319. Well.. Vietnam when invaded by China 1979 was technologically inferior & smaller. Yet still the international sympathy goes to Vietnam. It's not just about size but fighting for a good cause. China's claim on various Southeast Asian countries' sea is illegal based on UNCLOS and China only insists on debatable "historical claim" (by that logic.. Italy can own the whole Mediterranean Sea) or "name" (by that logic India can also own Indian Ocean).

Same with Vietnam, basically a "mini China", even culturally & politically it's same.

Currently I read a news in Bahasa Indonesia (yap, ada beritanya).. government is struggling to find private investors (swasta) to fund the new capital city project. You can't have all extravagant goals and expect to finish it all, especially with limited budget. Indonesia economy is currently in shamble after COVID19. Unemployment rate is currently highest since decade. Want to add more debt?

  341.  @aswiran  You think new capital benefits can be seen in short time? No. Even decades after Brasilia project, Brazil's economy is not any better, even Brazil is currently under economic crisis. Building industrial complex in each of the Indonesia's provinces can solve the economic inequality problem. Especially since manufacturers are looking for alternative to move their facilities away from China. This could be our opportunity. But nope.. build extravagant capital from scratch without money instead.

  342. @Shy Cracker Lha gw kan bahasnya kawasan industri di setiap provinsi. Tiap provinsi loh. Gak cuman Kalimantan Timur. Argumennya pemerataan ekonomi. Tapi kok malah berpikir sentralistis dengan membangun ibukota baru yang mahal, itupun ditaruh di Kalimantan Timur pula yang sudah memiliki kawasan industri? Tetep aja timpang provinsi lainnya macam Sulawsi Tengah, NTT, NTB, Maluku, dll gak ada kawasan industri. Gak ada penciptaan lapangan kerja baru di daerah-daerah karena investornya juga ogah kalo gak ada pusat bisnis & kawasan industrinya (gak ada fasilitas/infrastrukturnya). Camkan aja, bahkan setelah Ibukota Negara Baru sudah dibangun, tetep ada kesenjangan. Karena apa-apa dipusatkan di ibukota (lagi) maka orang-orang di daerah tetep aja mindsetnya: wah gw harus pindah/urbanisasi ke ibukota nih buat dapat kerja. Akhirnya tetep aja padet di satu pulau..

  346. It's only logical for a smaller country to ask help from bigger country when pressured/bullied & self-efforts are not just enough. Vietnam itself was helped by Soviet Union when it was invaded by China in the 1979. Kuwait asked for world's help when it was invaded by Iraq in 1991. Even mainland China in WW2 asked for help when it was invaded by Imperial Japan, before later China had changed & it became the invader.

    7
  349.  @gregorymalchuk272  You don't get the point, don't ya bot? All superpowers are basically the same, past, now, or future.

Palestine under Hamas wants total extermination of Israel while right wing Israelis continue to build settlements beyond border. - The issue has been around since 1948, many measures had been taken by UN, but both countries stay with their stubborness. - While issues like Azerbaijan invasion of Armenia, South Sudan conflict, Saudi bombing of Yemen, and Russian invasion of Ukraine 2022 was relatively new. - If Dhiya notice, actually many countries are banned from World Cup. USA wasn't in FIFA World Cup until 1990. And India for example.. even not many Indians are upset of this ban from FIFA, because Indian football federation is corrupt.

  452.  Paladin88  India was at its weakest state in 1962, it barely recovered yet as the result of India Pakistan War when the bigger China invaded its northern border. After the 1962 war, especially after "Sino-Soviet Split" which saw the separation of China-Soviet alliance and the increase of supports from Soviet toward India, India had been getting more powerful. When China declared its first nuclear bomb test, India developed its own nuclear bomb in response. It capable to did that. India of today is certainly not the same as it was in 1962.

Sekarang dumping itu jelas-jelas menyebabkan PHK massal di industri tekstil & keramik Indonesia, efeknya domino.. gak cuman pekerja Indonesia di sektor tekstil & keramik saja yg kehilangan pekerjaan dan daya belinya turun, ini berdampak ke UMKM yg sepi pelanggan akhirnya bangkrut, berdampak juga ke pengangguran/pencari kerja yg jadi makin sulit mencari kerja akibat bertambahnya saingan mencari kerja sehingga juga gak ada daya beli untuk melakukan konsumsi.

And it was not US who armed and finally put Khmer Rouge in power during their resistance in 1970-1976 against pro-US Khmer Republic. It was China who provided material and moral supports to Pol Pot of Khmer Rouge. Even the "Year Zero" during Khmer Rouge was inspired by Maoist the "Cultural Revolution" in China.

It creates another problem when single men of China eventually resort in human traffickings in other countries to have wife.

For example, when it was the Japanese soldiers themselves who in reality provoked the Marco Polo Bridge incident in Manchuria, the military only informed Hirohito partially about it. Thus Hirohito, unaware of the fact, approved the invasion of Manchuria. He was also the one who appointed Hideki Tojo, just because Tojo presented himself as a man who was loyal to the Emperor.

Plus, there is a danger of dynasty politics brought by Jokowi & Prabowo in the future. Not that Anies, Ganjar Pranowo, PKS or PDIP party are better either.. all Indonesian politicians don't care about their people.

  672.  @daksans6764  Not really. India is a complex country. Yes poverty is visible but on the other hand, India's manpower is quite high. Indians are known abroad (e.g. Microsoft's Satya Nadela) while Indonesians are barely known to reach top position abroad. India can make its own nuke & space program without US, Russia, and or intervention.. while Indonesia can't make its HSR "Whoosh" project by its own and is now under debt for 80 years of China's concession (something with Mr. Jonan worried back in 2016, when Jonan was the minister of Transportation, he rejected the "Whoosh" project on the basis that it would burden the national budget & not actual national priority). India have their own automotives & machineries industry, while Indonesia don't have domestic car & motorcycle brands ..

While their sole argument about favoring China is because how China enabled them to own affordable products. Now most of Android smartphones are of Chinese brands, none of them from US. Same with commercial drones, cars, electronic products, even home appliances (ladders, flashlight, knife, ricecooker, dishwasher, etc) . That's China's softpower. Unforfunately.

Not only Sritex but there are many textile industry players which are bankrupt, 758.000 workers in Indonesia had lost their job per August 2023 alone. China's retailers are also coming in Indonesia and set shell companies, using local names to register and act for their behalf, then sourced the products directly from mainland China.. this hurt the local sellers in Indonesia Yes Indonesia's corruption is one of the factor which caused this. But saying P.R.China has no hands to dominate Indonesia and Southeast Asia as a whole is completely a na1ve outlook.

Both Soviet Union & P.R.China were competing for hegemony influence in other countries, after the Sino-Soviet Split since the 1960s up until the fall of Soviet Union in 1991. --- As the result, Pol Pot regime collapsed and the Year Zero ended. Vietnam also took control of Cambodia. This made P.R.China unhappy, as it was losing its major political foothold in Southeast Asia. So P.R.China invaded Vietnam in 1979 but it was repelled. Vietnam stayed in Cambodia until 1989.

  848.  @lolipedofin  At first, yes. During the Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras (1860s-1980s), a number of Chinese people studied in Japan, and some of them earned some money by cooking soup noodles after the Chinese style: lamian. The Japanese adapted it as โ€œRamenโ€, and slowly over time there were Japanese imitations of lamian. They lacked mutton and beef, so they started using Japanese dashi and pork chashu instead (though chashu was also based off a Chinese original, the Cantonese Cha Siu). Time went on, and a Sino-Japanese cuisine known as โ€œChuka ryoriโ€ came into being. Chuka ryori is Japanese-style Chinese food, while the โ€œproperโ€ stuff is usually called โ€œChugoku ryoriโ€. Chuka ryori has fried rice, dumplings, and ramen noodles as its staples, eventually adding mapo tofu and other dishes as the Japanese army advanced into China during WW2 (rather unpleasant fact, but returning Japanese soldiers took the recipes back to Japan in 1945โ€ฆ). As Chuka ryori developed into its own unique cuisine, ramen also diverged from Chinese lamian. Different regions of Japan developed different kinds of ramen, just like China has an infinite number of regional noodles.

  905. Long before French colonized other country, North Africans & Arabs had attempted to colonize France before. In 732 AD, Umayyad Caliphate tried to subjugate the Southern France through Iberian Peninsula.. but it was defeated in Battle of Tours by the army of Charles Martel & Odo of Aquitane. Then again between late 1500s-1700s, Barbary Pirates from North Africa plundered the coastal French cities and sold the captives to slave market, long before any French existence in North Africa.

Volvo has to follow with Swedish laws, but all of its strategy/decision is up to the American/Chinese company who owned it.. its strategy/decision is not Swedish government's, because they have no ownership in it. However it's different with Dongfeng or SAIC because these are state-owned company. Its stock is owned by government (CCP). It cannot be bought easily by other private companies especially foreign companies (even since 1990s when these companies were not big as today) and their strategy/decision has CCP influence in it.

Religion extremism is even older than Saddam's Iraq, Russia, United States, United Kingdom, etc.. as proven by various examples including the 12th century Almohad Caliphate harsh treatments toward nonmuslims.
    2
  1069.  @dw9944  First, learn the differences between "Taliban" and "Mujaheddins (Afghan independence fighters in general)". Mujaheddins is consisted of several factions, of which including Taliban and including Ahmed Shah Massoud. It's like knowing the differences between "Communist (PKI)" and "Darul Islam Army" with "Indonesia's independence fighters in general", you can't call all Indonesian independence fighters in 1945 a communist or radical Islamists just because one faction. Or it's like differentiating "Nazis" and "Germans in general", you can't call all Germans as Nazis. So the statement of US supporting Taliban is not true. It's like calling the religion extremism in Caucasus region was caused by Russia Empire's conquest in 19th century, even though the root of religion extremism was much older than that. Also notice, Al Otaybi coup in 1970 happened even before Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989) or the Taliban reign (1990s) happened.

  1078.  @kingnoob9680  Henry Kissinger was more like supporting P.R.China, not directly supporting Khmer Rouge. The fact that Khmer Rouge was anti-western (especially Khmer Rouge was anti French and against pro American Khmer Republic) was ridiculous for even a Kissinger supporting Khmer Rouge during "year zero" of 1976-1978. Only in 1978 when Vietnam counterattacked Cambodia, then P.R.China was angry (losing Khmer Rouge, its puppet regime).. then ask US (back then ally against Soviet) to condemn the Vietnamese attack on Cambodia.
    2
  1079. @Dante-ki4ol  LOL. USA didn't support Khmer Rouge in 1975-1978 until Khmer Rouge provoked Vietnamese border and Vietnam launched counter attack in 1978. It was P.R.China who supported Khmer Rouge logistically & politically from the very start since 1960s (when Khmer Rouge was still a guerilla force) up until the end in 1979 (when the P.R.China launched an invasion to Vietnam). It is counter intuitive to support a faction/a country which demonized their country. And it is ahistorical too. Khmer Rouge was vehemently anti-western (the year zero revolution is exactly for that purpose) & they deposed the pro-american Khmer Republic (1970-1975) which was supported by US.
    2
  1080. @GiangHoang-hd8uk  In 1978-1979. Not in 1960s-1978 (the birth of Khmer Rouge up until its rise to power in Cambodia). Don't be ahistorical. For the most time of its existence, the P.R.China-backed Khmer Rouge was the reason why US lost its grip in Cambodia, especially after toppling off the pro-US Lon Nol (Khmer Republic). Khmer Rouge was utterly anti-western, what is the benefit for US supporting that movement? LOL.
    2
  1081. @GiangHoang-hd8uk  Don't mix emotions with historical facts. I'm a southeast asian myself, nguyen nggatheli. So let's be fair with both Vietnam & US. In 1975, US also lost its influence on Cambodia and its pro-US regime: Lon Nol, thanks to Khmer Rouge ๐Ÿคฃ. US didn't support Khmer Rouge until 1978 Vietnam counterattack on Khmer Rouge and P.R.China (then a new US ally) asked for political support. It also led to P.R.China invading Vietnam in 1979. But for the most part of its existence 1960s-1978, Khmer Rouge was largely against the west, especially US.
    2
  1082.  @taittait55  Notice the keyword: 1980s. US was not supporting Khmer Rouge from 1960s up until 1978. Actually it was Khmer Rouge who was responsible in toppling the only remaining pro-US regime in Indochina: Khmer Republic. During these period, Khmer Rouge was mainly supported by P.R.China. But we all know P.R.China became US ally after Sino-Soviet Split. And after the failed 1979 invasion to Vietnam by P.R.China, then P.R.China ask US for political support in maintaining its influence in Cambodia.

  1084. @marks7167  Kinda contradictory. Since 1960s up until 1978 including during Khmer Rouge bloody rule and Year Zero revolution, Khmer Rouge had always been against the US interests. Khmer Rouge was an anti-western militant movement. It was backed mainly by P.R.China. Even P.R.China invaded Vietnam in the following year (1979) after Vietnam toppled off the Khmer Rouge regime in Phnom Penh.

Beside, most family in two cities (average salary of Indonesians are just $300) can't afford KCIC's / Whoosh's ticket for every weekend "mudik" (Rp 250,000 for Jakarta-Bandung, Rp 250,000 for Bandung-Jakarta.. that's half million Rupiah). Recently, KCIC reports that it didn't meet its passenger number target.
    2
  1139.  @ironheart8374  Yes. It is. Especially while majority of Indonesians are having low-middle income. Whoosh/KCIC ticket is too expensive than conventional train like Argo Parahyangan. And the KCIC project itself originally was not a priority according to Mr. Ignatius Jonan. Jonan said that KCIC is not yet needed, but the railroad network in Sumatera, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, etc must be the priority

  1140.  @johnsonjohnson3122  Yes in any way it was not justifiable. In reality too, China says it didn't claim Natuna territory, but it sent its "China Coast Guard" to area far from their shorelines and protested when Indonesia conducts oil & gas exploration in North Natuna Sea (its own EEZ) in December 2021.

He was castrated (against his will) in order to prove his loyalty to Ming emperor. He doesn't represent your average Chinese nor M*slims. Meanwhile, Vietnam was under 1000 years of colonization by various dynasties of China, long before even Columbus notoriously started the world exploration. In 13th century, Yuan Dynasty under General Shi Bi and Gao Xing sent troops to Vietnam and Singhasari (now part of Indonesia) to subjugate them.

  1148. By your logic.. by insisting on the past history.. don't blame the French attack of North Africa in 19th century because at the first place, North Africans used to invade France in 8th century (but defeated by Charles Martel) and then invaded France again during the times of Barbary pirates from Medieval age until 18th century.

  1150. Zhu: What genocide took place in Indonesia 1970s? LOL. You mean 1965? 1965 was not a genocide toward certain ethnic. It was a massacre toward alleged communist sympathizers after the failed coup by Communist Party of Indonesia and the assassination of Indonesia's prominent generals (incl. Ahmad Yani). Most of the victims of the massacre were actually Javanese ethnic who worked as farmers or labors and unknowingly joined communist membership. Admittedly it was horrible but then again.. if Communist ruled in Indonesia, then it would be similar as with Cambodia where Pol Pot massacred millions of Cambodians 1976-1978 who were accused of being "western" or contra-revolution. Meanwhile mainland China slaughtered the Uighur people in East Turkestan and replaced it with Han Chinese population.

  1163.  @Setupthemabomb  Local sources such as Kidung Panji Wijayakrama , artefacts of chinese gunpowder cannons found under the depth of Brantas river, and the fact that King Jayakatwang of Kediri and its whole kingdom was defeated & vanished because of the Yuan dynasty invasion were the testament of the invasion ever occured in large scale. Note that Jayakatwang of Kediri was mistaken by the Yuan forces as "Kertanegara of Singhasari" who refused to pay tribute and insulted the Yuan emissary. It was Raden Wijaya who led the Yuan into believing that, before Raden Wijaya defeated the much fatigued Yuan soldiers later during the victory celebration. Kertanegara was actually Raden Wijaya's father who was murdered by Jayakatwang. So Raden Wijaya killed two birds with one stone. Years after Raden Wijaya and Majapahit Empire's establishment, Ibn Batutta & Odorico of Pordenonne visited in the region and did recorded several Yuan invasions which were failed. Local sources such as Gunung Butak inscription in 1294 AD recorded that the again Sino-Mongolian forces were intercepted and defeated by Arya Adikara.

Hence the perception "fine", because M14 wasn't battle proven in face to face combat against Vietnamese AK47/AKM. While the engagements in Vietnamese jungle & urban settings during Tet Offensive were mostly at close quarters. If M14 was continued to be used by the Army & USMC until the Tet Offensive, then AKM was superior than M14 in that regard. M14 was poor for automatic fire & CQB.

Plus during the Spanish Civil War, the Spanish Loyalists (communist side) were not any better than the Spanish Nationalists (Franco side). Stalin literally stole the entire Spanish gold deposit from Bank of Madrid with the help of Spanish Loyalists.

Because according the uti possidetis iuris principal and Indonesian-Dutch "Round Table Conference" in Den Haag 1949 Indonesia territory consists of all former Dutch East Indies colony.. so it's indeed an Indonesian province.. unlike British Borneo (today East Malaysia), British Papua New Guinea (today Papua New Guinea), and East Timor (today Timor Leste).
    2
  1254. While I don't like the simplification of history (e.g. "western is bad").. I have to make a point that West Papua is rightfully an Indonesian province according to Dutch-Indonesian agreement in 1949 at Den Haag (Konferensi Meja Bundar) and being different ethnically doesn't mean you can create a new country at your will (imagine if Scottish declared independence, Russians in Ukraine and Estonia demanded their own country, Nagaland people demanded independence from India, Hawaiians in America demanded a separated country, Ainu and Okinawan people demanded their own country out from Japan etc

  1257.  @lenjon7478  The Dutch was also ruthless when colonizing East Indies, compared to Great Britain or Spain. Out of all colonial nations, Dutch was the most ruthless: Dutch colonies' inhabitants (Indonesia & Suriname) were left uneducated until the arrival of the ethical politics (Politik Etis) in early 20th centyry, that was why the Dutch got rich despite its small size. The workers got nothing while Dutch got most of the resources.

You see, tourism and service sector (hotel, cafe, resto, retail chain, flight, train, bus, etc) are mostly went down because of the pandemic. Many businesses went bankrupt and employees were fired. Lots of unemployed people. Even if you are skilled, it's tough getting job during this pandemic. There is too many jobseekers for a few vacancies.

  1263. Haily Rizzo What genocide? 1998 riot was not even a genocide and not all Indonesians approved that. It was an attempt by Suharto to divert the blame after his failure in preventing 1997 crisis, but failed to widespread and only happened in Jakarta. The victims of 1998 riot also include native Indonesians like the protesters from Trisakti University and activists like Widji Thukul. But of course you gonna ignore that. US/China/Russian narratives are always forced on smaller countries' throat.. according to you, only Indonesians are exclusively at fault.

  1266. My previous comment literally says we admit that 1965-1966 was horrible, 1998 incident was horrible. How dare you say Indonesians are being denial? However, the context of those incidents are being steered by Chinese supremacists as remotely just a case of "Indonesia being racist toward Chinese". Not really. 1965-1966 victims are largely Native Indonesians who were accused of being communist sympathizers and the 1998 riot also saw many Indonesians non-Chinese became victims of Suharto regime including the missing activists.

Imperial Japan industrial capability obviously outmatched by US, combined with their fatalistic view of life (better to die/suicide for Emperor than surrender and regroup), obviously they had higher casualties in every battles even before the atomic bombs were dropped. Gen. Kuribayashi however was different. He didn't use pointless suicidal tactics, made use of Iwo Jima terrain and caves, and actually was one of the few Japanese generals who were educated in USA and pessimistic about declaration of war to USA.

    2
  1363. Also the "using local name policy" is not just in Indonesia or in P.R.China only. For example during Ottoman times many Armenians, Greeks, Albanians, and Bosnians were Turkicized. Or like Thailand where it was obligated for non-ethnic Thai (including ethnic Chinese in Thailand) to use Thai names.

  1367.  @gondala  And that's exactly how Indonesia got into trouble. Lack of population growth control, many families have been making too many children because Indonesian people think "many children bring many fortune (banyak anak banyak rejeki)".

There is no severe punishment for corruption in Indonesia.

People in my country still don't want to separate the type of waste (organic, recycleable non-organic, non-recycleable non-organic, toxic waste) so we see these scavengers still sorting garbages..

  1382. The policy of making ethnic Chinese to change their name with local name actually make them easier to blend to local population (benefitting them). Remember, Thailand already had the same policy: urging non Thai (including the ethnic chinese) to use Thai names.

  1383.  @hcdtrs9684  So before you criticize Indonesia.. ask China about the forced sinicization toward non Han Chinese, ask why Thai forced non-Thai to use Thai name, ask Americans why they urged Italian and Hispanic immigrants to abandon their culture and anglicized their name.

  1384.  @xdir1569  Different. Danantara is also involving religious "ormas".. when political interest (especially under the cover of religion) is involved in any business thing, it's not good. While Temasek is not involving religion etc/free of vested interest.

  1385.  @hendrikpurnawan7915  Not everyone who are against Prabowo's are sympathizers of PDI-P/Megawati or Nganies Baswedan. This is a genuine concern. Recently, a high ranking official of Pertamina is caught of corruption. There is a fear because Danantara can't be audited by KPK (govt auditor) without the approval of "People's" Representative Council (DPR). Wake up. All Indonesian politicians are same.

  1389.  @xdir1569  Nasionalismenya pejabat lah yang perlu dipertanyakan. Ini yg komen "Danantara kok gak bisa diperiksa KPK, harus lewat restu DPR dulu?" kan rakyatnya yg nasionalis, yg lagi nanyain kinerja pejabatnya yg samasekali tidak nasionalis.

  1390.  @Steve-so7uk  Jgn tggl di dlm gua lah. Di berita banyak, BPK & KPK gak bisa mengusut Danantara kalo ada kasus korupsi. Harus lewat persetujuan DPR. Padahal jadi anggota DPR itu gak wajib SKCK, mantan napi k0rupsi saja nisa nyalon legislatif lagi, reputasi k0rupsinya terkenal tinggi.

No. It would benefit only East Kalimantan province, not all provinces in Indonesia.

  1405.  @ruu406  Indonesia should build new industrial zones in each of its provinces in order to make more jobs creation and economic distribution enjoyed by everyone. Also, as an anticipation because many manufacturers now want to move out their production facilities from China. Now they seem interested in Vietnam, instead of Indonesia. Because Indonesia doesn't have enough industrial zones.

  1427.  @kb9880  Of course because China's population is homogenous, 98% Han chinese. It's demographic factor, not because of its government. More democratic country such as Japan and South Korea, and then the more extreme country like North Korea which are all also less heterogenous like China have no terror attack too. Russia meanwhile is more heterogenous and more terror attacks especially in the Caucasus region.

He allowed China's KCIC project and thus it now burdening our APBN (national revenue), despite warning from Ignasius Jonan the minister of transportation & former director of Indonesia Railway company (then in 2016).

Especially after the Al Otaybi coup in 1970s that even when it was failed, it reminded Saudi dynasty that it had to appease the Wahhabis. While Saudi funded many organizations around the world. This Wahhabism spread around the world is one factor that re-accelerated the fundamentalism of religion.

    1
  1757.  @RVered  M14 was not even the same as FN FAL & HK G3. These are all designated as battle rifle but in reality only FN FAL & HK G3 ergonomically passed as such. M14 was already obsolete by 1960s, it was no different than the M1 Garand. Plus remember that US forced NATO countries to adopt 7.62x51 mm as standard NATO round. As result, FN FAL & CETME/G3 which originally designed for intermediate rounds like StG44, had to use full rifle round like M14. And then US adopted assault rifle the M16 and changed into 5.56 mm rounds.. while all those NATO countries which already adoped the 7.62 battle rifle couldn't afford to replace all their battle rifle up until 1990s. So it's US fault. Meanwhile, France who never willing to adopt any 7.62 NATO battle rifle from the beginning then choose 5.56 NATO as standard round for their FAMAS. Then other European countries like Finland (non NATO, RK62) and Austria (non NATO, StG77/Steyr AUG) all adopted intermediate round assault rifle as their service rifle.

  1758.  @stevehicks8944  Ever use G3A4? Clearly you haven't. It's short enough that even Myanmar licensed manufacture & used it as a standard rifle for a while before the arrival of Galil & then Type 95. Traditional rifle M1A or M14 would stand no chance during urban fighting (such as Berlin or real-life Hue City during Vietnam War) against AKM, Finnish Rk62, and other assault rifles.
    1
  1759.  @RVered  And yet, many countries are still using FN FAL (South American countries), G3 even more! No country on earth is ever fielding M14 anymore as standard infantry rifle. Put out the crap, dude. Also, Finnish soldiers were using Rk62 (an intermediate assault rifle based on AK mechanism) during Cold War and it's wayy better than the obsolete thing that is praised by keyboard warrior called "M14".
    1
  1760.  @RVered  No it is not. M14 was not as popular as FN FAL, G3A4, AKM, Valmet Rk62 / Galil, and of course M16 which saw service worldwide. M14 / M1 Garand was a very obsolete concept in the dawn of assault rifles era. Even Lee Ermey in his TV show explained how poor the ergonomic of M14 / M1 Garand was for the selective fire capability, because of the lack of pistol grip and the overall shape of it, so the recoil pattern goes circular (barrel point up, stock down).
    1
  1761.  @RVered  Lee R. Ermey served in the Marine Corps, was a consultant for various films and his TV Show is quite factual. And so you want a fact? No countries interested in fielding M14 anymore even since the 1970s. Even the US itself! It's simply obsolete concept (traditional rifle) not so much different with the M14 rifle, while assault rifle arrived and made a breaktrough. In the jungle and cities during Vietnam War, most of the combat took place in close to medium range (source: Osprey Publishing's The M16) so M14 was inadequate against the likes of AKM & Vz.58 used by the North Vietnamese Army.

Plus Russia is free to build its CSTO (Russia's version of NATO). Kazakhstan & Uzbekistan voluntarily joined CSTO and not suddenly get invaded by NATO right.

  1772.  @miguelpadeiro762  "American-led NATO". Not really. It is not centralized on USA only. France has its foreign policy, for example, when US invaded Iraq in 2003, France & Germany didn't follow and was not forced to. When Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974 and at war with Greece, it proven that it was not "US led". Also CSTO was formed by Russia after the USSR was dissolved, yet none of its country member is invaded by NATO. On the opposite, Putin is using NATO as justification to invade Ukraine in 2022, despite Ukraine is not a member NATO & Ukraine was already invaded before in 2014, which already broke the Budapest Memorandum 1994.

China dumping is not only disrupting textile and ceramic industry, Sritex is not the only textile company which laid off its workers & affected by the dumping. Even things like cangkul (shovels) are freely being dumped from China to Indonesia, without any tariffs. Then there are reports that P.R.China's nationals working with tourist visa and created shell companies which goods sourced directly from P.R.China which disrupted the local online sellers in Indonesia. Don't say it's having miniscule effect on Indonesia's economy. It's one of the factor why Indonesians purchasing ability goes down, many Indonesians lost their job.

  1799.  @bog4240  P.R.China is dumping to all sectors from textile & ceramics, steel products (since 2019), and even things as simple as cangkul (shovels). This disrupted Indonesia's industry & job loss. Sritex for example, is not the only textile company which laid off its employees. There were 758,000 Indonesian workers who had lost their job per August 2023 alone (source: IDXChannel). There are 10 million of unemployed Indonesians, with textile industry went down, then there is no job for them which resulted in the loss of purchasing ability of the people. .. KCIC "Whoosh" project is also burdening Indonesia's national budget. .. Et cetera.

  1909.  @rap3208  China would someday sent its troops when they are the only superpower and they use force when they couldn't get what they want. Mark my words. Even before China was superpower and ideologically similar with Vietnam, they did invaded Vietnam in 1979 because Vietnam simply won't bow into their will.

  1910.  @rap3208  LOL No. "China never had imperialistic ambitions"? China's history shows that it had colonized Vietnam for thousand years, it was happened long before France or US even came there. Imperialism = Empire.. China's history actually not that squeaky clean either and even that was one of the reason why Mao Zedong destroyed Imperial legacy during the "Cultural Revolution"! You forgot your own history, forget Uncle Mao๐Ÿคฃ

  1911.  @rap3208  In 50 years ahead. China has shown its grip from Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia's West Philippines Sea, etc.. Vietnamese didn't know better back then, that they would be colonized for thousand years. Same thing for now.

    1
  1916.  @embryolast591  Emmm better check your history again. Soviet Union only joined Allied forces and helped Republic of China after 1941 .. While Nanking Incident happened in 1937, WW2 was not broke out yet, Allied forces was not formed yet. USA was the one who sanctioned Imperial Japan, love or hate it, it's a fact.
    1
  1917.  @embryolast591  which drug you are using? Soviet Union was not approaching Republic of China, but approaching Mao Zedong especially since he was a staunch Stalinist.. the reason why the Sino-Soviet Split happened in the 1960s ( decades later ) was because Mao Zedong disliked Nikita Kruschev for what he deemed as anti-Stalin policies.
    1
  1918.  @embryolast591  Well not really. Stalin was the Soviet leader who aggressively spread communism.. including to China and after WW2: to the "liberated" Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and East Germany.. those countries became Soviet satellites effectively. It is of course has its benefit to Soviet Union. More ideological likeness = more allies/friends. Even that Soviet made Austria as a neutral country has its benefit to Stalin.. it was a hot spot for both US and Soviet spies activities during early stage of Cold War.

  2041.  @raymundoballesterosiii4459  Vietnam is mini China: has similar culture, ruled by similarly autocratic communist country, also open to western investment using "here I am opposing western's competitor too (China)" narrative until its economy grows strong enough and will turn back against western powers.. just like how China lured western investment & technology transfers under the pretense that "China was against Soviet Union" but later when China grows then China started openly opposing western countries.

  2042. ^ The new taxes introduced by government on its own citizens is caused by unnecessary debt from China-built "Whoosh" HSR project which is straining the APBN / national budget of Indonesia, this will goes on until a very long time (80 years of concession). While imposing tariffs to prevent dumping is necessary. Even China is being protectionism country: banning various foreign companies such as Google, Netflix, Facebook, and Uber.. plus imposing tariffs to prevent dumping of steel products coming from Japan & Korea in 2019. There has been lack of prevention toward P.R.China's dumping practices, which disrupted Indonesia's industry and many Indonesians lost their job as the result. Renowned Indonesian economist Faisal Basri & Rhenald Khasali had discussed this problem few months ago.

You were all lucky not put into Alcatraz-like prison and being only in open prison without barbed-wire fence.. with agricultural tools in hands too.

  2175.  @malakatan3235  LOL and yet you enjoy lavish life in Indonesia. You are allowed to do normally dude. What a parasite: living in Indonesia while hating Indonesia too. Now I ask you did China ever admit what they did on Aboriginal Formosans? Uighurs? Catholics in China? Tibetans?

  2177.  @Cecilia-ky3uw  Uighurs/Tibetans in China & American Hawaii beg to differ. Why you insist on blaming the smaller countries, while the problem in big countries themselves are not yet solved? Also if Indonesia is racist.. then these people of immigrant descent are not allowed from participating in society at all.. Indians like Raam Punjabi, Sri Prakash Lohia, etc; Chinese like Liem Siew Liong aka Sudono Salim, Lie Moe Tie (Mochtar Riady), Bob Hasan, etc; Arabs like Anies Baswedan, Shihab clan, etc
    1
  2178.  @Cecilia-ky3uw  Oh on which scale? Can you point out? There are many of my Papuan friends at university who would disagree with you. Papuans have special quotas/special path for becoming state-owned (BUMN) and government employees, many of us could ever dreamed on (it is a desirable jobs for us Indonesians). Papuans are also allowed to become minister (e.g. Yohana Yembise) and government officials in their own region. Meanwhile, can an immigrant of Hong Kong Indian descent or Uighur descent be a minister in China's central government? LOL.
    1
  2179.  @Cecilia-ky3uw  According to Dutch-Indonesia agreement (Round Table Conference, Den Haag 1949).. the territory of Indonesia consisted of former Dutch Eat Indies territory ("uti possidetis iuris") and Dutch promised to talk about solving the Papuan issue. But Dutch betrayed the agreement, thus the nationalization of Dutch companies in indonesia. Also, Papuans are equally Indonesian citizens not colonized: they are not forced to use Javanese names, they keep their religion (even christian Indonesians are happy with their presence), and not enslaved. Meanwhile, the same cannot be said about Aboriginal Formosans treatment during Ming & Qing Dynasty, Uighurs treatment during P.R.China's era, or the wiping out of Native Americans in USA.

  2181.  @marsilio4328  Which massacre? Have you read my comment above? Need to explain allover again? 1965-1966? Was not an ethnic cleansing toward chinese indonesians, it was a massacre toward people accused of being Communists.. the largest victims came from Javanese farmers and labors. Yes it was horrible. 1998 riot? The victims were not only exclusively Chinese, many of them were non-Chinese like the missing activists (Widji Thukul the poet being the most prominent). Yes it was horrible. You don't raise voice for them too? Secondly, P.R.China not only not acknowledging the massacres toward political dissidents during "Cultural Revolution", Uighurs, Tiananmen Square protesters, etc.. but also not yet granting rights for non Han Chinese to become central figures in Politics & Economy until today.

  2182.  @marsilio4328  Denying what? Are you an Indonesian like me? Do you even understand the history? The context around 1965-1966 or 1998? You seem are not an Indonesian. Bisa gak kau ngomong Indonesia, paling gak bisa. Meanwhile P.R.China still being denial of its treatment toward minority. Here, a coin. Go criticize them, not just Indonesia.

Or acknowledging its fault on supporting the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia 1976-1978? Or to millions of its own citizens during "Great Leap Ahead" and "Cultural Revolution" purge? Did the Chinese supremacists like you admit about the wipe out of Aboriginal Formosans during Ming & Qing Dynasty? Double standards.

Masalah di Indonesia cukup jadi masalah antara orang Indonesia sendiri, kita gak perlu didikte orang asing apalagi penganut supremasi kulit putih & supremasi Han chinese (memang ada loh istilah tsb, itu tidak dibuat-buat).

  2189.  @hailyrizzo5428  Of course the government admit. What's wrong with it? We Indonesians are democratic & tolerant nation .. too tolerant perhaps so that Indians, Arabs, Chinese are able to hold our important positions.. even if we are a small country. Unlike Chinese supremac1st who never apologize for what they did toward Aboriginal Formosans during Ming & Qing dynasty & the treatment of P.R.China toward Tibetans, Uighurs, Inner Mongolians, and Catholic of China.. or what P.R.China did to Vietnam like the Tong Chup m4ssacre of 1979.

  2193.  @bunnystrasse  1965 massacres? The victim is not just ethnic Chinese but most of it were farmers, labors, even armed forces members, government workers, ordinary people accused of being Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) sympathizers.. most of them were in Java (ethnic Javanese) since this tragedy was in Java island. Think of it as similar as the Stalin's Purge in Soviet or Mao's Cultural Revolution Purge.. but the victims were reversed: communists instead.

Nonmuslims in Indonesia can only become "vice"/second in command, not as leader in government institution.. just like Jokowi's vice governor. Jokowi is also an exception rather than the norm right now, he is not particularly showing himself as "conservative muslim" and tended to be highly unpopular among the conservatives especially in Aceh & West Sumatera. Only in military & police institution where the opportunity is equal since this institutions are secular (put the country & its nationalism first). Istiqlal Mosque is the only place which done that. But in many places? Even Hindu Piodalan tradition in Yogyakarta & praying at home by nonmuslims got forcefully closed by the hardliners.

  2270.  @georgesmith5708  Still outdated because it resembled more to M2 Carbine and the BM59 was based on Garand (basically a WW2 battle rifle design) unsuitable for modern warfare of the cold war. G3 and even FAL are one step ahead from Garand/Gewehr 43/SKS..
    1
  2271.  @georgesmith5708  For combat situation, it was outdated. Otherwise, BM59 would sell like hotcakes as AK47/AKM, FAL, or G3. But it was not. Unpopular (even to Italian Special Forces) and only used by Italians at the time when in 1960s-1980s armies in the world started using selective-fire battle rifle or even true assault rifle. Italy really upgraded itself in 1990s when it decided to adopt AR70/90
    1
  2272.  @neutronalchemist3241  Nonsense. Italy experienced economic booms in 1950s-1960s like West Germany and Spain, so technically in that period they could design much better rifle (as West Germany did with G3 and Spain did with CETME). And actually Beretta did. The AR70/90 was first introduced in 1972, so why Italian Armed Forces not adopt it as their standard rifle since 1970s? It only saw widespread use in 1990s.
    1
  2273. Beretta BM59 didn't sell better as AK series, G3, FAL, or even M16 during 1970-1980s. It was obsolete, remnant of WW2 concept. It was fine rifle for shooting practice but never was combat proven.

Before that, surely there are amount of nickle successfully smuggled to mainland China by Chinese companies. These companies operating in Sulawesi have direct access to the port, also built by them/part of their business. They can do that without bribery. Even the cost bribery to just few officers doesn't worth more than the amount of nickles smuggled to mainland China. Who profits more? You don't even speak Indonesian, my friend. This incident was first reported by Indonesia's Tax & Customs officers, not by China..

The limitations imposed on non-Ethnic Han Chinese, especially the Uighurs who were put into concentration camps.

Yes Dutton was an iron-handed men. But don't we forget that putting criminals with same ideals were dangerous. Putting members of secret society alongside each others, where they can communicate and conspire with each others is dangerous. These secret society leaders ultimately killed Dutton to prove/to send message that they were the ones who could controlled their members.. not Dutton or the government (outsiders of the secret society). These men of organized crimes were indeed beyond redemption. They had oaths. There was reason why mafia members in USA were not put into such open-space prison.. instead they were put into a high-security prisons like Alcatraz. There is reason why you isolate terr*rist members in isolated cells, rather than allowing them to interact freely.

But generally speaking, today's Japanese (post WW2) are much different than Japanese during Imperial Japan times (pre WW2). Japan is now also demilitarized and only retains a Self Defence Forces. It's not the one who currently build artificial islands and military bases in Southeast Asian waters. Meanwhile, talking about present, P.R.China is led by autocratic dictatorship not unlike Imperial Japan in the past WW2. It is not a "holy" and "sinless" government, especially since it's autocratic.

  2464.  @rainz4599  You also made assumption as if only ethnic Chinese were the victim of 1998 riot in Jakarta and made as it appears to be "Indonesians being racist toward Chinese" while actually it was Soeharto's diverting the protesters attention by scapegoating the Chinese (but it was failed to widespread & only localized in Jakarta). You forgot that many non-Chinese (like Widji Thukul - a notable poor Javanese poet) were missing because of Suharto regime.

  2465.  @rainz4599  You forgot that non Chinese like Timorese became victims of Suharto regime in 1991 (Santa Cruz Incident), locals who became victims during Tanjung Priok 1984, the murder of labor woman Marsinah, the murder of "Bernas" news media reporter by Suharto, or the victims of force eviction during Suharto-era Kedungombo Dam development.

  2466.  @jjsamuelgunn1136  This video is not also a justification for cornering the Indonesians or to amplify US/Russia/China/Arab etc narratives to our throat. The fact that racism happens everywhere even in much worse scale than in Indonesia now (after Suharto dictatiorship went down). The fact that Arabs, Indians, and Chinese can be a business tycoons are example of democracy in Indonesia.. unlike how Uighurs and Tibetans are stripped from its identities & unable to equally participate in the central government of P.R.China.

Just ignore the US, P.R.China, Russians, and Saudi Arabia supporters shoving their narratives into smaller countries mouth. They have minority issues not solved yet, far worse even.. yet they taunt other countries.

  2469. Olivia Winani The ancestors of the Manchu people, the Jurchen, originally formed the Jin dynasty located to the Song dynasty's northeast. The Jurchen Jin already started assimilating Han Chinese language, and even their Jurchen script was influenced by Chinese characters (hanzi). So they were already Sinicized from the start and even more Sinicized when they became the holder of Qing dynasty. Beside they are not foreigners anyway, they were literally on the same continent. Unlike the relation between India and British.. or Indonesia with Chinese, Arab, and Indian. Locals & foreigners. Different continent and whole different civilization.

  2470.  @jordyj4126  Yeah we talk about today, not Suharto anymore. Now is now. That's like talking about Nazi Germany where its relevancy to today's circumstance is very little, because today's Germans are not like Germans under Hitler. Meanwhile P.R.China is still under CCP and still systematically oppresses the Uighurs & Tibetans. Or like in Pakistan where Christians are still discriminated. Or like India where Hindu supremac1st is still prevalent in India's politics.

Why negative people of immigrant descent like Anies Baswedan (arab) & Edy Tansil (chinese) are allowed to be born and be wealthy in Indonesia?

  2473.  @jordyj4126  Well you also remember the case of Benny Moerdani being blamed for Tanjung Priok 1984 despite it was an order from Suharto? You forget that in 1998 there were also many non-ethnic Chinese e.g. Widji Thukul (javanese Indonesian) who became victim of the riot? You don't see how Munir Thalib (an arab Indonesian) lost his life just because he demands the justice for what happened in the 1998? It's not just about Chinese. The world is not going around you only.

North Africa and Egypt were mostly Christians or local belief adherents before Arab conquest (Rashidun & Umayyad Caliphate).

  2477. โ€‹ @rosbifke Puma was a recon vehicle & tank destroyer, not really an APC like Eitan or Boxer. The pioneer of all modular 8x8 APC was the 1999 US Army's IAV program, better known as Stryker. It has many configurations including standard infantry carrier, recon, mobile gun platform (105mm), mortar carrier, command vehicle, medevac, engineer & recovery vehicle, ATGM, etc. It also has V-shaped hull to prevent IED/mines.
    1
  2478.  @mauricecohen3830  Of course because Eitan was designed AFTER Stryker and it was designed for Israeli needs (urban warfare & preserving manpower because of Israel's small number of population). Even Israel considered replacing Merkava which was only suited for conventional tank vs tank warfare & long range, with an entirely new AFV.

Not only that, after this incident, Prabowo was also removed from his military position by Suharto.
