Experts from the Australian National University (ANU) have warned that Australia needs to step up and offer Indonesia an alternative for digital training and development after China has become a dominating force in Indonesia’s cyberspace.

ANU research fellow and co-author of the report ,“China Inc. and Indonesia’s Technology Future,” Dirk van der Kley, said on Wednesday that Australia and its fellow Quad countries—India, Japan, and the U.S.—must do more to provide tech training to Indonesia.
