Abstract
Huawei and other firms backed by the Chinese government are training Indonesian tech workers, government
officials and students on an industrial scale for free.1
This is good for Indonesia. The biggest blockage to
Indonesia’s digital development is a lack of trained
talent and China is filling that gap. However, this is
not completely altruistic, as training has become a key
plank for pushing China’s geopolitical tech ambitions.
By comparison, Australia and other Quad countries
have not done as much as China to build technology
skills in Indonesia.
