Program ekonomi China Belt and Road Initiatives (BRI) memiliki pengaruh besar pada laju ekonomi dunia, terutama di negara-negara tuan rumah yang berpartisipasi di dalamnya. Indonesia adalah negara yang menjadi bagian dari program ini di kawasan Asia Tenggara, mengalami dampak yang cukup besar dalam hal pembangunan ekonomi dan peningkatan nilai investasi asing, yang ditandai dengan penambahan proyek investasi di berbagai bidang industri. Pertumbuhan investasi asing Cina di Indonesia dapat dilihat dari perkembangan taman industri Cina di beberapa daerah di Indonesia. Artikel ini disusun dengan melakukan tinjauan literatur dan pengumpulan data yang akurat yang bersumber dari Badan Koordinasi Penanaman Modal Indonesia (BKPM) dengan tujuan untuk menganalisis potensi dan tantangan yang muncul dari FDI Tiongkok untuk Indonesia dan sebaliknya. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini adalah, terlepas dari potensi pangsa pasar Indonesia karena jumlah penduduk yang besar, kemudahan memperoleh bahan baku untuk produksi dan upah minimum untuk pekerja lokal relatif rendah. Namun, bagi investor Cina, hal ini diikuti oleh tantangan yang juga muncul, seperti harga tanah yang tinggi, infrastruktur Indonesia yang tidak memadai, dan berbagai peraturan investasi di hampir setiap wilayah. Bagi Indonesia, peningkatan FDI Cina mendorong lapangan kerja, memberikan peluang bagi alih teknologi dan pengetahuan. Namun, masalah lain muncul, seperti persaingan untuk pengusaha lokal dan kekhawatiran tentang ketergantungan ekonomi Indonesia pada Cina. Selain itu, untuk mendapatkan pemahaman komprehensif tentang taman Industri Cina dan dampaknya, penelitian masa depan dengan penelitian survei lapangan sangat dianjurkan.(The China Belt and Road Initiatives (BRI) economic program has an enormous influence on the pace of the world economy, especially in host countries that participate in it. Indonesia is a country that is a part of this program in the Southeast Asian region, experienced a considerable impact in terms of economic development and an increase in the value of a foreign investment, which is marked by the addition of investment projects in various fields of industry. The growth of Chinese foreign investment in Indonesia can be seen by the development of Chinese industrial parks in several regions in Indonesia. This article was prepared by conducting a literature review and accurate data collection sourced from the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (IICB) with the objectives to analyze the potentials and challenges that arise from Chinese FDI for Indonesia and vice versa. The results obtained from this study are, despite the potential of the Indonesian market share due to the large population, the ease of obtaining raw materials for production and the minimum wage for local workers is relatively low. However, for Chinese investors, it is followed by challenges that also arise, such as high land prices, inadequate Indonesian infrastructure, and different investment regulations in almost every region. For Indonesia, an increase in Chinese FDI encourages employment, provides opportunities for the transfer of technology and knowledge. However, other issues arise, such as competition for local entrepreneurs and concerns about Indonesia's economic dependence on China.Besides, to get a comprehensive understanding of Chinese Industrial parks and their impact, future research with field survey research is highly recommended).

In Chinese and Indonesian languages, a syllable is composed of consonants and vowels. Many researchers have focused on studying consonants and paid less attention to vowels. However, vowels play an essential role in a syllable, which is in fact the most pronounced part of a syllable. It is because of vowels that people can perceive language and communicate with each other. This article takes the Chinese and Indonesian vowels as the research object and makes a comparative analysis of the Chinese and Indonesian vowel systems to reveal the similarities and differences between the two at the level of monophthongs, compound vowels, and allophones. Hopefully, it can make contributions to the development of the Chinese-Indonesian comparative phonology discipline. This paper mainly adopts qualitative research method, that is, combining literature integration method, description method, contrast method and analysis method. It reaches several conclusions: First, the Chinese monophthongs, compound vowels, and allophones are more developed than those of Indonesian; Second, there is contrast between rounded and unrounded lip sounds in the Chinese monophthong system, which does not exist in the Indonesian system; Third, there exists some cases in Chinese compound vowels system that the spelling is inconsistent with the actual pronunciation, but this is not the case in Indonesian. Fourth, Chinese vowels’ allophones are mainly caused by the different positions of vowel in the syllables, while in Indonesian they are mainly affected by the different natures of the syllables. The results of this research can provide some insights for other Chinese and Indonesian language researchers.

As a part of the primary stage of Chinese phonetic teaching, the importance of Chinese initial teaching is self-evident, as initial pronunciation errors can affect the results of communication. Therefore, when Indonesian students begin to learn Chinese phonetics, they should first master the pronunciation characteristics of Chinese initials. This study has made a deeper exploration based on previous studies. This study aims to propose an initial teaching scheme for Indonesian beginners built on sorting out. Through comparison between the consonant systems in Chinese and Indonesian languages, analysis of the difficulties of Indonesian students' acquisition of Chinese initials, and investigation of the arrangement of initials in the “Scheme of the Chinese Phonetic Alphabet”, this study has designed a Chinese initial teaching scheme for Indonesian Chinese beginners with the purpose of improving the quality of Chinese initial teaching in Indonesia. Literature integration analysis and a qualitative research method were adopted in this study. By integrating existing literature and combining them with the authors’ own research findings, the design of the initial teaching scheme is optimized. The design features of this scheme are mainly reflected in the following aspects: first, arranging Chinese initials from easy to difficult to learn; second, strengthening the teaching and practice of Chinese initials which are different from Indonesian initials and simplifying those of Chinese initials which are identical to Indonesian initials; third, using the Indonesian alphabet or syllables as a guide to bring out Chinese initials. All of these can be regarded as the main results of this study and can be used as reference for further studies.
