China called 'right partner' for Indonesia

Xi, meeting with Widodo in Jakarta, says he expects recent deals to bear fruit quickly

Chinese enterprises are being advised to study the Indonesian market, as their lack of understanding is a key challenge that needs to be addressed to fully unlock the huge potential of China's commercial ties with the largest economy in Southeast Asia.

Even though Chinese investment is expected to boom in the coming years, Chinese companies should "avoid haste", said Zhou Hui, minister counselor at the Chinese embassy in Jakarta.
