STRATEGI DIPLOMASI EKONOMI INDONESIA-CHINA DALAM UPAYA MEMPERKUAT PEREKONOMIAN INDONESIA DI MASA PANDEMI COVID-19

This research aims to examine Indonesia's economic diplomacy strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The global outbreak of the virus since late 2019 has had widespread implications, particularly in the field of economics. The economic sector in Indonesia has become increasingly unstable due to the pandemic. Similarly, China, as a hegemonic power, has experienced a decline in its economic sector. China's economic paralysis has had a significant impact on the global trade system. Consequently, Indonesia has chosen China as the focus of its economic diplomacy efforts. This study utilizes a descriptive methodology with a qualitative approach, employing the concept of economic diplomacy. Economic diplomacy is an official diplomatic activity that focuses on a nation's economic interests in the international arena. The research findings shed light on Indonesia's strategies in conducting economic diplomacy through collaboration with China, with a specific focus on Trade, Tourism, and Investment (TTI). The government's accuracy in selecting and implementing these strategies to stabilize the country's economy is crucial and has a profound influence on both the economic conditions and the welfare of its citizens.
