Australia-Indonesia joint patrol plan may end up coming to nothing

Indonesia is not a claimant to the South China Sea, and it does not have major disputes with China in territorial sovereignty or other related issues. But the fact that the exclusive economic zone of the Natuna Islands overlaps with a small portion of China’s nine-dash line might be the direct cause for Indonesia’s urge to get involved in the South China Sea disputes.
