#中国投资者涌向印尼 Chinese investors are accelerating their entry into Indonesia, with direct investment reaching 3.6 billion USD in the first half of 2025, mainly focusing on downstream industrial sectors such as minerals, oil, and natural gas. This trend is partly driven by the disparity between high tariffs imposed by the U.S. on China (over 30%) and Indonesia's lower tax rate (19%), prompting Chinese companies to shift production capacity to Indonesia to maintain competitiveness in exports to the U.S. Additionally, Indonesia's young workforce, 5.12% GDP growth, and large consumer market further enhance its attractiveness. However, Indonesia's bureaucratic hurdles, insufficient infrastructure, and reliance on China in key industries (such as nickel smelting) also present challenges. Overall, Indonesia is becoming an important springboard for Chinese enterprises to avoid trade risks and expand into the Southeast Asian market.
