ABSTRACT: China and Indonesia face the same maritime challenge
in Asia. As their relationship strengthens and their multidimensional strategic connection grows. This research
analyzes the maritime security threats China and Indonesia, include the current
state of China-Indonesia security cooperation, and proposes the following steps
to strengthen security cooperation, especially jointly countering maritime
security threats. It also provides policymakers with theory and practice
guidance. China and Indonesia can improve security by strengthening their
alliance. However, there are some trust issues and a weak security cooperation
mechanism. China and Indonesia must increase security cooperation to address
maritime security threats. The two countries should increase multi-level
defence and military cooperation to eliminate maritime security threats.
