Memaknai “Tahun Persahabatan” Indonesia-Cina. Bulan Agustus 2010 menandai dua dasawarsa normalisasi hubungan diplomatik Indonesia-Cina. Hubungan diplomatik Republik Indonesia (RI) dan Republik Rakyat China (RRC) sebenarnya secara resmi sudah dibuka sejak 9 Juni 1950. Bahkan pada November 1953, kedua pihak menandatangani perjanjian perdagangan yang pertama di Beijing. Peristiwa Gerakan 30 September/ G-30 S, 30 September 1965, menjadi titik di mana hubungan keduanya menjadi memburuk. Akibat peristiwa ini, pada 23 Oktober 1967 Kedutaan Besar (Kedubes) RI di Beijing ditutup dan seminggu setelahnya Kedubes RRC di Jakarta pun mengalami hal yang sama. Periode 1967-1990 diwarnai pembekuan hubungan diplomatik diantara kedua negara. Baru pada 24 Februari 1989, ketika Presiden Soeharto bertemu Menteri Luar Negeri (Menlu) RRC saat itu, Qian Qichen, dalam upacara pemakaman Kaisar Hirohito di Tokyo, dibahaslah tentang normalisasi hubungan kedua negara yang tengah membeku.

CHINA’S STRATEGIC SHIFT TOWARD THE REGION OF THE FOUR SEAS: THE MIDDLE KINGDOM ARRIVES IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
Since the Arab Spring, China has been quietly asserting its influence and fortifying its foothold in the Middle East, while the United States pivots to the Asia Pacific after a decade of war. It is aligning with states that have problematic relations with the West and are also geo-strategically placed on the littoral of the “Four Seas”–the Caspian Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and Arabian Sea/Persian Gulf. Paradoxically, the U.S. eastward pivot is matched by the resurgent Middle Kingdom’s westward pivot across its new Silk Road, and threatens to outflank the citadel of American geo-strategies in the region. Energy Security China’s interest in the Middle East is first and foremost energy-driven.

Premier Wen Jiabao visited India in mid-April and proclaimed a strategic partnership between the two countries, and President Hu Jintao is set to follow suit in Indonesia next week.
