IMO its all about trying to. influence Indonesia who
is already member of the BRI and a friend of China
while we have nominated China as out #1 enemy .
Indonesia will appreciate the deal because at least '
in the short term we'll not likely advocate for/aid
independence movements in Irian Jaya & West Timor.
IMO the USA will have "encouraged" this as it has
our renewed assistance to PNG , the Solomons etc
in order to minimise China's influence in the region.
Indonesia although considered a 3rd World Country has passed us out
in GDP (PPP) and has a current GDP rate twice that of Aus.
(source wikipedia)
So when it comes to investment China is in there like Flynn
and being a BRI member, it is a preferred supplier to China
than that of Aus.
