Dear Chinese Government,

China has become one of the leading countries and supreme power, in political or economic aspect. Many experts conducted research on your country about the communist governmental system, the economic policy for labor wage and money market, the vision for accelerating education level, incentive policy for foreign investment, the political strategy in becoming a balanced power with USA, and so many others. Several experts in forums are discussing about you of becoming an opportunity or a threat. Several countries consider you as a market or a competitor or a field of investment or a supplier. Moreover, many have become a collective power to blockade your success.

You have proven to many country that every country has their own formula to gain economic growth, reduce poverty, and become influential global player. The communism system is a strong base for applying your strict policy, low labor salary, solid power in your area with strategic resources, and uncomplicated investment incentive in the seashore region; even though you suppressed new emerging aspiration for democracy, slaughtered people that shouted for reformation in the government system or gathered to get collective actions.
China is a burning engine, economically. The foreign investment has created abundant fuel needed to be managed carefully so that not creating excessive inflation. One of the alternatives for reducing the inflation rate is by buying the Fed papers, yet in the long term you created a portfolio in developing the mainland infrastructure for transportation and health and also a competitive education system. Your education system is spotted as one of the best system indicated by the world's ranking published by many institutions. Young scholars are urged to take their master or phd in USA or other country according to different specialties, so that they can come back to China and contribute by becoming a lecturer or researcher. This clever and courageous strategy in the long term will also gives benefit to China by attracting other country bright scholars to study in China; thus, opening opportunity for affecting other country's future leaders.

Indonesia as a developing country has a common resources like you, which is the Human resources, yet we dont have a powerful government that can lead the way for the society better life, in terms of education and health, equality of opportunity, and become an influential player in the global arena. We have many natural resources, but we kept on bullied by foreign investors. Many of our government officers dont have integrity that they corrupted our money, our nature, and our trust! We are a pack of intelligent people yet there arent enough or accommodative space that gives us to contribute more. Our universities were famous and declining from the worlds's top rank. We are rich in foreign investors, nevertheless their money is played in the money market and not in the real sector. If only we got a strong government like you, maybe we can be better. If only we have a strong believe in our own identity and not manipulated by IMF or international powerful organizations like you, maybe we can become a leader in South East Asia. If only we got a powerful leader that have great vision and the integrity that can change our nation like several leaders of yours, maybe our people will be proud having Indonesia nationality.

I have so many questions for you...
