The South China Sea is often a source of conflict for several bordering countries. According to World Bank data, China has the largest military budget among these countries. The country allocates at least US$250 billion, or Rp 3,500 trillion (using an exchange rate of Rp 14,000/US$).

Singapore follows China with a budget of US$10.8 billion, equivalent to Rp 151.2 trillion. Indonesia is in third place, budgeting US$7.4 billion or Rp 103.6 trillion.

This time, China is at odds with Indonesia. A Chinese coast guard is considered to have exceeded the limits of Indonesia's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
