#中国投资者涌向印尼 - Investment Scale and Trends: China's investment in Indonesia is gradually expanding. In 2019, China's direct investment in Indonesia reached 4.7 billion US dollars, surpassing Japan to become Indonesia's second-largest source of foreign investment. By 2024, China's investment in Indonesia is expected to reach 8.1 billion US dollars, nearly a tenfold increase from 800 million US dollars in 2014.
- Investment Fields: The investment fields are diverse, covering various areas such as basic metal processing, new energy, infrastructure development, and digital economy. For example, Tsingshan Holding has led dozens of projects in the nickel smelting sector; CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited) has invested 6 billion US dollars with Indonesian state-owned enterprises to build a complete industrial chain base for new energy batteries; Huawei and ZTE are involved in building Indonesia's 5G network, among others.
- Investment Reasons: Indonesia is rich in natural resources, with nickel reserves accounting for about 22% of global nickel reserves, providing ample raw materials for industries such as basic metal processing and new energy. The population exceeds 280 million, with an average age of under 30, strong consumer awareness, and huge market potential. Additionally, the Indonesian government has introduced a series of policies to attract foreign investment, such as halving corporate income tax for enterprises with investments over 6.2 million US dollars for five years. Furthermore, the United States imposes import tariffs of over 30% on Chinese goods, while Indonesia's export tariff to the US is only 19%, allowing companies to avoid high tariffs by setting up factories in Indonesia.
