Abstract

Related to the increasing competition for hegemony in the Indo-Pacific region between the United States and China, there are concerns that it will impact international Trade, especially in Indonesia. This study aims to see whether Indonesia's international Trade is affected by conflicts between member countries of the AUKUS Trilateral Pact (Australia, United Kingdom, United States) and China due to trade wars and the situation in the IndoPacific. The increase in China's national power has affected the flow of international Trade to Indonesia from each AUKUS country. It proves a rivalry between AUKUS member countries and China regarding their national power. China continues to increase its national power, which reduces other countries' national power, especially the United States. However, competition in military spending, the trade war conflict between the United States and China, and the situation in the Indo-Pacific have not affected the flow of international Trade from each member of AUKUS to Indonesia.
