        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The entry of the digital payment system\nQRIS into China has received a positive welcome from China\u2019s Ambassador\nto Indonesia, Wang Lutong. According to him, the cross-border payment\nsystem integration can serve as a new gateway to strengthen economic\nrelations between the people of Indonesia and China, while also\nfacilitating cross-border transactions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQRIS is very well received not only by the Indonesian people but\nalso by the Chinese people. This means visitors from China can come to\nIndonesia using Alipay, or perhaps WeChat in the future, to purchase\ngoods, and vice versa. So, this is a very interesting development,\u201d Wang\nsaid in Central Jakarta on Thursday (11\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to Wang, financial cooperation is now one of the new areas\nthat can potentially strengthen the partnership between the two\ncountries. He mentioned the Bank Indonesia Governor\u2019s visit to China\nthis week and the Indonesian Finance Minister\u2019s planned visit to the\nBamboo Curtain country next week as signals of increasingly close\ncommunication in this sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinance is also a new area of this partnership, and it is also an\narea where China can be useful in the future,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Wang assessed that the integration of payment systems like QRIS not\nonly facilitates transactions for tourists and business actors but can\nalso strengthen economic connectivity between the two societies. He\nbelieves this step has the potential to drive growth in the tourism,\ntrade, and digital economy sectors.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond financial cooperation, Wang said there are still many new\nopportunities that Indonesia and China can explore. So far, the economic\nrelationship between the two countries has been largely supported by\ncooperation in the infrastructure and mineral sectors. Going forward,\ncollaboration is expected to expand into education, tourism,\nagriculture, artificial intelligence (AI), the digital economy, and high\ntechnology.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that people-to-people relations remain one of the main\npriorities in the Indonesia-China partnership. Therefore, investment in\nhuman resource development and community exchange programmes will\ncontinue to be encouraged.<\/p>\n<p>According to Wang, exchange programmes can involve not only\nIndonesian civil servants (ASN) and village heads visiting China, but\nalso community members and village officials from China coming to\nIndonesia to learn about the culture, economic potential, and\ncooperation opportunities in various regions.<\/p>",
