China's assertiveness in the East and South China Sea (ESCS), complemented with paradoxical behavior on promoting international maritime cooperation, has left many to conclude that Beijing uses a dual strategy. To expand China's foreign policy's interpretation, we present an alternative approach with a neoclassical realist analytical framework to supplement the maritime security perspective. By accommodating domestic political changes, we explain the causal process that leads to China's maritime ambiguity and illustrates how it shaped the theater of conflict in ESCS. Understanding the disputes from the framework of unitlevel factors such as state-especially in China's local political dynamics-can bring a novel dimension to the discussion. We argue China's military reform to build a "true maritime power" ( 海洋强國 ) through the utilisation of the grey zone strategy via the China Coast Guard (CCG) plays a significant role in intervening against international politics' dynamic to deter the possibility of high-intensity conflict. Thus, the maritime security of rival country is more focused on how to deal with (1) non-traditional challenges in the sea such as piracy and (2) intergovernmental confidence building through the means of white hull diplomacy-while countering China's ambition on claiming the rights and interests in ESCS 'under the threshold of war.'

“…Therefore, Indonesia does not only see opportunities from the Indo-Pacific region, but it also sees that the Indo-Pacific region will become a battle as well as a competition field for big countries to expand their influence; subsequently, the real threats in the Indo-Pacific region will not be avoided. This type of problem can be seen from dynamic real threats such as piracy, illegal fishing, smuggling and cyber-crime which is one of the threats to regional security instability (Tertia et al, 2018). In addition, the spread of influence from major powers such as the United States and China is one of the reasons for Indonesia to adapt the concept of cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region so that it will become Indonesia's long-term plan in preventing the growth of major powers in the region.…”

Indonesia as one of the countries that is included in the Indo-Pacific Region has an important role in creating security stability in the Region. As the center point of the Indo-Pacific, Indonesia certainly thinks about the right defense strategy to be able to play an active role in the region. Undoubtedly, this action will be related to Indonesia's free-and-active foreign policy. As a region that has strategic points, countries in the Indo-Pacific Region carry out an agenda to be able to solve problems in a peaceful way by increasing mutual trust. Naturally, it will make the Indo-Pacific Region as a central region in the future. Based on the findings, Indonesia's foreign policy takes part in an active role at the international level by promoting the concept of cooperation in the Indo-Pacific Region to increase mutual trust between countries. In addition, countries in the region participate in mutually beneficial openness in order to create security stability in the region. Indonesia's foreign policy is considered to be appropriate and useful in the midst of situations in competing for having influence in the region. Thus, Indonesia's role in the Indo-Pacific cannot be separated from the character of Indonesia's current foreign policy which emphasizes �middle power� and leadership in the region.
