In the last two decades, I ndonesia has been swiftly maneuvering between C hina and the U nited S tates in the context of the great powers' contest in the region. But a look further into history shows deeper dynamics of I ndonesia‐ C hina relations, in which I ndonesia demonstrates paradigm shifts of its C hina policy on the verge of C hina's rise toward great power status. This article argues for the best use of theoretical eclecticism to comprehend I ndonesia's policy perspective toward C hina's rise as a great power.
