EU, the preacher, is in love with Asean yet again: Jakarta Post commentary

JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): The Group of Seven leaders often use sophisticated words such “multilateralism” and “science” to justify their political and military presence in the Asia-Pacific region with a single mission: To contain China and regain control of the rich territory.

But for ordinary Indonesians like me, the seven industrialised countries just do not have the guts and power to fight China satu lawan satu (one on one), so they keroyok (gang up on) China. And all their arguments are nothing more than silat lidah (bickering).
