Indonesia-China International Dispute on the Natuna Island Case

The waters of natuna contain rich natural resources such as minerals and fisheries and provide international sea lanes for ships that come from the Indian Ocean to industrialized countries and to the Pacific Ocean. The real sector of poverty alleviation between China and Indonesia is a challenge to the stability of Indonesian sovereignty. Meaning that the south China sea itself has border with Indonesia in the waters of natuna. The natuna case began in 2009 with a unilateral claim by the Chinese government indicating that the national strength and defense in terms of national sovereignty still has flaws and loopholes. According to China, they've entered the natuna area into a map of their territory based on the nine imaginary lines usually called the nine dash line which China has claimed and marking its maritime border. But from these nine points this line Indonesia does not recognize because Indonesia says it has no basis whatsoever for international law
