Indonesia expels Chinese coast guard ship three times in Prabowos, his first week as president
When Chinese boats encroached on the waters off Indonesia's northern Natuna Islands early in Joko Widodos' presidency, he took his ministers there for a cabinet meeting aboard a warship, leaving a note written to the crew: Defend Indonesia.
The 1,200-kilometer excursion from Jakarta to the northern Indonesian island chain in 2016 was as symbolic as it was unconventional, an assertion of sovereignty described at the time as the strongest attack ever launched by the Indonesia versus China over issues in the South China Sea, which is the channel for more than a third of the world's maritime trade. China claims most of it, despite a United Nations court ruling to the contrary in 2016.
Eight years after Indonesia's warship government and cabinet meeting, Widodos' successor Prabowo Subianto is already grappling with Chinese provocation in the South China Sea. He has only been on the job for a week.
Last Monday, a Chinese coast guard vessel began harassing an Indonesian vessel off the coast of Natunas, an area claimed by Indonesia as its exclusive economic zone. It was chased away by Indonesian ships, but returned on Wednesday and Friday.
The Chinese were following a ship of Indonesian state energy company PT Pertamina as it carried out seismic surveys of the seabed, according to Bakamla, Indonesia's maritime safety agency. This edge of the South China Sea is rich in resources and China does not recognize Indonesia's claims.

Indonesia and China are friendly and Prabowo's mantra on foreign affairs is that a thousand friends are too few, one enemy too many, but the South China Sea, off the Natuna Islands, is a point friction.
Chinese vessels, whether fishing or not, occasionally enter Indonesia's exclusive economic zone, but it is difficult to know how often because Widodo, after making his point very publicly in 2016, seemed to prefer a more discreet over time.
But in recent weeks, incidents have caused a sensation. Bakamla even released video and audio footage.
