Abstract

The involvement of China in Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement has brought a new chapter for this agreement. China seems to evertake the US Position after the country dropped from partnership. Indonesia's position is considerably important in both the partnership and China. This is because Indonesia lies in the strategic geographical area in Asia Pacific and also for 21-century Maritime Silk Road Initiative. Therefore, this is questioning how Indonesia can take advantageous from both Trans Pacific Partnership and the Relations with China. This paper seeks to unearth the potency from Indonesia to take benefits from Trans Pacific Partnership and the involvement of China in the framework. This paper examines three sectors: economic, politics, and socio-culture to get more comprehensive views on how are the benefits grabbed to Indonesia. Moreover, this study also considers challenges which may appear from taking both benefit from China and Trans Pacific Partnership. The domestic condition in Indonesia and the perception of Indonesian society are also considered in examining those advantages.
