I. INTRODUCTION
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, was established on 8 August 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand, with the signing of the ASEAN Declaration (Bangkok Declaration) by the Founding Fathers of ASEAN, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand (www.asean.org, 2017).Indonesia is one of leading ASEAN members in population, economy and territory.
As countries living in near proximity, ASEAN members share borders with each other.Indonesia has some border geographically with other countries; for example the province of Nusa Tenggara Timur borders with Timor Leste, Kalimantan Island with Malaysia, and Papua with Papua New Guinea.Some of the members of ASEAN have geographical borders with China.
But, Indonesia as the largest country does not directly border with China.
Nevertheles, Indonesia parcipate actively in in the economic cooperation of ACFTA (ASEAN-China Free Trade Area) which will take effect in 2020 with the agreement to beginning of 2015.Indonesia also plays a part in various China and ASEAN collaboration not only in trade but almost every sector for example politics, education, culture, tourism, science, technology, transportation, agricultural, health, and information (http://asean.org/asean/aboutasean/overview).
China is deemed a superpower in the Asia-Pacific region.It is a country that has a huge population of almost of 1.4 billion emerging as a wellrespected economy power (http://www.worldpopulationstatistics.com).It has started to spread its influence in ASEAN, including Indonesia.China and ASEAN are good neighbors, friends and partners enjoying geographical

ASEAN-China Educational Exchange Year
The year 2016 is the year of ASEAN-China Educational Exchange.
Since the beginning of the year, China and ASEAN countries have organized over 200 educational exchange activities, which have further enhanced ASEAN-China educational cooperation and deepened their people-to-people and cultural exchange.The following chart show graphically the figure of ASEAN students studying in China with every country (Ghozali, 2013).(Heirsh and Sharif, 2013).This in turn means paying greater attention to the development of cognitive and interpersonal skills.It will also be necessary to allow students flexibility to enter, exit and re-enter education depending on their financial and social circumstances, and to create pathways between academic and vocational tracks.

Increasing Efficiency and Effectiveness
Indonesia devotes 20% of government expenditure to education.
Capitalising on this investment implies increasing efficiency.This will require a more transparent and data driven basis for assigning resources, better tailoring of provision to local needs and circumstances, and stronger performance management (Schleicher, 2015).

Strength relationship between Indonesia and China in education
China and Indonesia are big countries in Asia sharing the same needs and goal in parthership for peace and prosperity.That is why they coordinate regional organizations like United Nations, G20, APEC, 10+1 (ASEAN with China) and 10+3 (ASEAN with China, Japan and Korea) (KBRI in China, 2015).The cooperation between China and ASEAN is on the basis that Southeast Asian countries are fully aware of the growing influence of China and this growing influence has undoubtedly created some security concern in the region among other concerns (Politics, Education, Economy, Health and other field) (Banlaoi, 2003).Beijing.On October 2003, the leader of ASEAN and China signed a strategic partnership for peace and prosperity in Bali (He, 2015).
Until now, an unpleasant relationship between Indonesia-China in past still lingers in many Indonesian people.This makes some of them see China as a threat.Learning from other Asian countries, it may not be wise not to cooperate with other countries.Countries need to keep on cooperating and coordinating for development of human resources and involves it self in manpower planning and job placement and increasingly in the coordination of science and technology (Booth, 1999).
On the other hand, Indonesia policies have been especially astute at planning educational development in order to meet the demands of a fastchanging labour market.Indeed, in several cases, it is very clear that educational and skills bottlenecks have forced goverments into relying on expatriate labour.and in some cases the lack of skillful human resources retard economic growth.It is clear that the mistakes comitted by Southeast Asian goverments in the education sector have been less heinous than in many other countries (Booth, 1999).We understand that United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) confirms that the substance of learning have four learning: Learning to know, learning to do, learning to be, and learning to live together.That is why the Government of Indonesia prefer course or training in Indonesia and emphasize on the important goal life long learning (Rubini, 2007), and to prepare of demand market in Asia Pacific region.

Threat Relationship Between ASEAN and China
The World Bank reported that in 1990 there were roughly 375 million people in China living in extreme poverty, on less than $ 1 per day, but in 2015 only 16 million who still live on less than $1 a day.This economic development of China is bigger than South Asia and countries in sub-Saharan Africa (Friedman, 2007).In addition to that, China's official defense budget has increased at an average of around 11 percent per year.it shows how hegemony in Asia region has been becoming a so-called "theater peer" of United States (Lee, 2005).China becomes more powerful with matching influence over every major sector-from energy excavation to selective sea control-the U.S.-led security template.As a matter of fact, China plays strategic key roles in the region, there are four other countries seen from this perspective, four key actors bear closer observation: Japan, South Korea, India and Indonesia (Friedman, 2007).
Indonesia is located in the same continent as China.Even though Indonesia has no direct borders with China, its influence is prevalence.Not only to Indonesia, but also ASEAN, for their proximity to China.
Unfortunately, the United States seems not to favor that situation, so it allegedly commence South Sea of China dispute to disrupt the stability and China-ASEAN relationship.
One thing to take into consideration is the international language barrier (English, Mandarin, Arabic, French, Russian, and Spanish)

III. CONCLUSION
China and Indonesia are two big countries in Asia with similar national interests and objectives in partnership, peace and prosperity of G20, APEC, 10+1, and 10+3, in which Indonesia is an active participant.In addition to that, Indonesia as the ASEAN leader must initiate better relationship among Asian nations.Indonesia may promote student exchange as well as idea exchange in various forums such as ASEAN-China free-trade, culture, tourism, education and many others.
proximity and cultural affinity.Over the past 25 years, with joint efforts of of two sides, ASEAN-China relations have made impressive achievements.The two sides have deepened their political mutual trust, developed increasingly close economic, trade ties, achieved fruitful result in people-to-people, cultural exchanges and over 190,000 exchange students between the two sides.ASEAN and China in Education In particular, China-ASEAN cooperation in education, China and ASEAN have carried out various forms of cooperation in the field of education, achieving fruitful results in following events: 1. ASEAN-China Education Cooperation week Co-hosted by the Chinese ministry of foreign affairs, ministry of education and Guizhou Provincial People's Government.ASEAN-China Education Cooperation week was launched in 2008.

Figure 1 .
Figure 1.ASEAN Students studying in China The chart arguably shows disproportion of ASEAN students in China which does not reflect the population proportion of ASEAN.China plans to have 100,000 ASEAN students from currently 71.101 in 2020.So it still 28.899 more students to get to 100.000.Indonesia, which has the largest population, should have higher number of students, if proportion is to base on.
The invitation to Chine to be present on ASEAN Summit is one of media to perfect understanding between ASEAN and China.This will lead to the establishment of ASEAN-China center which will facilitate promotion and coorperation in trade, investment, tourism, education and culture, with active involvement of the private sector.It is also aimed at increasing people-topeople contacts, public awareness, mutual understanding, as well as active participation among the ASEAN and Chinese peoples through cultural and educational exchanges(ASEAN Summit 15th, 2009).So, eventually it will strengthen the relationship between ASEAN and China especially Indonesia.Weakness of Indonesia to Prepare CompetitionLooking back, the Indonesia-China relationship has been on rocky path since their independence.The years 50s and 60s saw close relationship between these two nations.It deteriotared in 70s.Then, they tried to mend it after 1978.It culminated by the establishment of ASEAN-China centre in ) and further education in the framework of lifelong learning (Felix Rauner, European vocational education and training (Bremen, 2008).It is particularlychallenging for Indonesian since both countries do not share land border.Countries such as Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar have their advantage to get familiar with Chinese culture because they share land border with China.This can be positive competition for Indonesian and threat, because limitedness of China Scholarship.
Indonesian government may want to ensure that Indonesian people have learned from the past for positive future bilateral relationship and not as a dim shadow for a distrust.Indonesia should focus on preparing Indonesian people, especially their education, to face global market.Indonesians need to learn from other countries to win this competition.The number of Indonesian studying overseas must in relevance with the national need, work field and the future of the overseas students.With 20% national budget on education, Indonesia could send more potential students especially from low income families to continue studying abroad.The political situation in South Sea of China allegedly commence dispute to disrupt the stability and China-ASEAN relationship, Indonesian goverment should be peacemaker in that situation.Indonesian student should be prepared with good skill in international language to competition with students other country especially Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
