The relationship between Indonesia-China was formally established in 1950. Indonesia’s former president, Soekarno, started the bond due to his personal attachment to China. The attachment was founded based on the reason that Soekarno recognized China as a country against imperialism and colonialism. The relationship was marked by Soekarno’s visit to China to observe China under Mao Zedong. This well established relationship must collapse with the fall of the Old Order in 1967. The Thirtieth of September Movement has been believed as the trigger for the suspension of the relations between the two countries. Both Indonesia and China withdrew their respective ambassadors in Jakarta and Beijing. For 23 years, both countries had agreed to suspend the relationship in every sector. The suspended relationship was also influenced by the political situation in each country. The signal for rekindling the bilateral relation was observed when Indonesian Chamber of Commerce agreed to participate in trade fairs in Canton. This process continued until the signing of the agreement between Indonesia and China in 1990.
