Only one in three Indonesians favor major investments by China: surveyBloombergOnly one in three Indonesians favor Chinese investors buying a controlling stake in major local companies, a survey found, showing the difficulty Beijing faces to improve its image across Southeast Asia. It found Saudi Arabia the most popular with 57 percent, with the US at 42 percent and China at the bottom with 30 percent. While trust in both of the world’s biggest economies fell among Indonesians, the survey found more negativity aimed toward China. Saudi Arabia topped a “feelings thermometer” that measures perceptions about countries and territories. The survey found Indonesians have grown distrustful of major powers over the past decade.
