Merangkai SinoLogika: Bunga Rampai - Christine Susanna Tjhin

美都新闻网 8 月 19 日（综合报道） ： 香港反“逃犯条例”修订引发的抗争已经持续11个周末发生。据外媒报道，周日（18日），香港数一百多万抗议者冒着大雨走上街头，在维多利亚公园集合，他们撑着雨伞使街道形成“雨伞之河”。 据美国之音19日的报道，发起18日大游行的香港民主派团体“民间人权阵线（民阵）”表示，当天香港有多达170万人响应了“一齐和理非一日（和平、理性、非暴力）”的大游行号召。民阵称：“没有警察，就没有伤害！”。 据报道，民阵的梁颖敏告诉美联社说，他们希望周日的集会是和平的。她说：“我们希望，我们能向世界展示，香港人民可以完全和平”。 周日晚上10点许，港府发言人也发出新闻稿说：“集会期间大致和平”，但表示，由于参与者占用了港岛多条主要干道，路面交通大受影响，对市民造成不便。 报道引述路透社称，参加周日游行和集会的人数之多表明，香港这场“反送中”抗议活动仍赢得香港人广泛的支持，尽管上周抗议导致香港机场瘫痪，进港和出港航班停飞两天。 与此同时，位于现场的美都新闻电台记者凯文（Kevin Egan）报道称 ： “维多利亚公园周围的街道上挤满了数一百多万抗议者。建议在香港的印尼公民不要靠近维多利亚公园。” 香港特区的示威行动最近两个月以来持续进行，香港特区的行动目前已趋向于无政府状态，示威者袭击警方，破坏了香港的和平局势，影响了该地区的投资业，香港经济也下降到最近10内以来的最低点。数万名示威者在机场集会，导致全球最繁忙的交通枢纽之一陷于瘫痪。 抗议者基本上有五项诉求：包括 彻底撤回逃犯条例； 撤回6.12暴动定性； 必不追究反送中抗争者；成立独立委员会，彻查警方滥权滥暴及元朗暴力事件；以及全面落实双真普选。 抗议活动导致香港国际机场陷于瘫痪后受到全球关注，因此，中国在采取行动时趋于谨慎行事。 相比于30年前回应天安门抗议浪潮事件，北京倾向于采取遏制态度。 国际问题观察员Christine Susanna Tjhin说：“如果像天安门这样的事件重演，那么经过精心打造的中国形象将在瞬间被摧毁。北京本身正在推动‘一带一路’成为跨界发展合作的平台。"

Pemerintah pusat Tiongkok relatif menahan diri dalam merespons meningkatnya ketegangan di Hong Kong. Langkah ini berbeda dengan cara mereka merespons gerakan massa di Tiananmen 30 tahun silam.  Pengamat isu internasional Christine Susanna Tjhin menilai ada beberapa perbedaan situasi antara Hong Kong dan Tiananmen yang menjadi bahan pertimbangan pemerintah Tiongkok. "Dalam hal motivasi politik, demonstrasi yang terjadi di Hong Kong, utamanya lebih ditargetkan kepada pemerintah setempat, dalam hal ini protes terhadap Rancangan Undang-Undang (RUU) Ekstradisi yang diusulkan oleh administrasi Carrie Lam secara terburu-buru tanpa mengindahkan masukan-masukan dari berbagai pihak," tutur Christine kepada Medcom.id, Sabtu, 17 Agustus 2019. Karena kemarahan demonstran Hong Kong lebih ditujukan kepada pemerintahan Carrie Lam, Presiden Tiongkok Xi Jinping cenderung lebih berhati-hati demi mengantisipasi dampak-dampak buruk yang mungkin terjadi. "Karena secara tidak langsung kete...

It is ironic for the United States to pursue protectionism and stir up economic friction since it had long championed for globalization and free market practices in the past, said an Indonesian scholar on international issues. Christine Susanna Tjhin, senior researcher at the Department of International Relations, Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Indonesia, made the remark while commenting on the ongoing trade friction between China and the U.S. during an interview with China Central Television (CCTV) recently. Tjhin said, "It's a bit of an ironic situation, I guess, because the United States in the past has been a long champion for globalization and also free market practices and everything." She also expressed her worries about the negative impacts the escalating trade dispute would exert on members of the ASEAN, as well as on the global economy. "If the situations continue to unfold, not only that the trade war continue between United States and ...

Indonesia will not interfere in China’s handling of Uighur Muslims sent to so-called ideological reeducation camps, with officials hopeful that Beijing will uphold the rule of law and human rights. Even as the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, Indonesia and other members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) were careful in addressing the issue of detained Uighur Muslims in China’s Xinjiang province, as they relate to the “common concerns” of radicalism, terrorism and separatism, said Achsanul Habib, the Foreign Ministry’s human rights director. “It is the basic principle of our international policy that the government respects the sovereignty of other countries and will not interfere in their internal affairs,” Achsanul told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday. “Regarding ethnic Uighurs, Indonesia believes the Chinese government will soon settle the issues in accordance with the rule of law, while continuing to uphold the best human rights protection principles for all its...

虽然这个学术会议以印尼为主，但其中涉及中国的话题占了相当大的比例。 从举办方也能看出这一点，研讨会由暨南大学印度尼西亚研究中心、中国社会科学院东南亚研究中心、暨南大学东南亚研究中心联合举办。 与会的学者主要来自中国和印尼的高等学府、研究机构，同时还有马来西亚、新加坡等国学者的身影。 政知君全程参加了8个小时的研讨会，收获满满。其中不乏一些时政“彩蛋“，比如印尼驻华大使周浩黎就透露了中印两国领导人近年来交往的细节。 刚来中国履新的印尼驻华大使周浩黎也来到了研讨会现场。 会上，周浩黎首先评价了中国印尼两国关系的发展水平。在说明两国关系持续向前发展时，他谈到了两国高层的交往。 周浩黎介绍，印尼总统佐科2014年上台以来，两国的最高领导人已会面6次。他说，在两国关系发展中，领导人会面频繁是十分重要的。 周浩黎还介绍了一个细节。他说： “中国印尼两国领导人在每次的会谈过程当中起码都会谈1个小时以上，而按照国际的惯例，很多高级的官员互访只是一次性地谈15分钟左右，但是我们两国之间的高层领导人则有一个十分深入的交流，这对双方来说是一个很好的事情。” 　　中国社会科学院东南亚研究中心主任许利平也提到，中国印尼两国除了领导人互访外，双方最高领导人通过电话的交谈，也达到了5次以上。 　　对话：“一带一路”也要注重当地公共产品 　　在本次研讨会上，“一带一路”倡议是核心问题之一。包括印尼在内的数个东南亚国家都处于“一带一路”的陆海交汇地带，是中国推进“一带一路”建设的优先方向和重要伙伴。 　　政知道采访了两位专家，分别是新加坡南洋理工大学人文与社会科学院院长刘宏和印尼战略与国际问题研究中心高级研究员 Christine Susanna Tjhin （陈姝伶）。 　　看看他们对于“一带一路”倡议有何观察和理解 　　政知道：“一带一路”倡议从提出至今，马上就满5年了。您对这一倡议的印象如何？5年的研究中，您有什么新观察？ 　　陈姝伶：“一带一路”倡议5年前提出时，我就认为这个倡议是好的，因为这个倡议能够改变和重塑全球的结构和局面。 　　从长远看，我认为，“一带一路”倡议成功与否取决于中国和倡议相关国如何展开合作，同时整个过程是否能够平稳、负责任的、远离腐败的进行；而且共建“一带一路”的成果惠及中国和所有相关国也是一个重要因素。 　　5年...

Allegations of communist indoctrination of Indonesian students in China again shows the country’s struggle to reconcile tropes of the past. Marsha Harini is an Indonesian student who has lived in China for the past seven years. She graduated from one of the international schools in Shanghai, spent a year learning Mandarin at a university in Nanjing, and is currently completing the third year of a bachelor’s degree at Wuhan University. “Not once”, she says, “have I studied or gone to a communism class.” Yet the spectre of communism is once again haunting Indonesia, a country with a long and tumultuous history of oppression against anyone seen to have been involved with the communist party. This time, the controversy comes in the form of an article published in March by Indonesian online newspaper Republika, which claimed that Indonesian students in China are studying communist ideology. The comments were attributed to the Rector of Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta, Sofyan Anif, ...
