Indonesia-China economic and industrial cooperation
Overview
Indonesia is expanding economic cooperation with China through the Two Countries Twin Parks (TCTP) framework and Special Economic Zones (SEZ). In September 2026, Indonesia secured Rp88.1 trillion (US$4.96 billion) in investment commitments from Chinese companies, including Rp51 trillion in new business commitments signed via Memorandums of Understanding in Xiamen. The Indonesian government aims to use these partnerships to strengthen industrial connectivity, supply chains, and job creation.
By October 2026, the focus shifted toward leveraging Chinese investment within Indonesia’s 25 SEZs to enhance national industrial capacity, research, and technology transfer. Chinese companies currently represent approximately 20 percent of business entities operating within these zones. To support these economic objectives, academic and industrial connectivity is being promoted through initiatives such as the China-Southeast Asia Forum on Higher Education and Industry Cooperation, which seeks to bridge academia and industry to drive innovation.
