JAKARTA - Indonesia’s air force deployed four fighter jets to the South China Sea on Tuesday in a stand-off with Beijing after Jakarta protested over a Chinese violation of its exclusive economic zone.
The issue has soured Indonesia’s generally friendly relationship with China, its biggest trading partner and a major investor in Southeast Asia’s largest country. The South China Sea is a global trade route with rich fishing grounds and energy reserves and China claims most of it based on what it says is its historic activity. But Southeast Asian countries, supported by the United States and much of the rest of the world, say such claims have no legal basis.
According to data from Maritime Traffic, a ship tracking website, at least two Chinese ships — Zhongguohaijing and Haijing 35111 — were in waters on the edge of Indonesia’s exclusive economic zone on Tuesday, approximately 200km off Indonesia’s Riau Islands.
