Or where you live? Replace the population of the USA or UK with Bangladeshis or Russians. Does it matter? Replace the constitution with that of Algeria or Germany, does it matter?
Speaking of my countryman you once had a conversation with - I dare to say that I can understand how some of my people preferred China than the west, out of grievances against the latter for starter. This is not intended as an excuse.
Fortunately I am not Dutch :) My trip through Indonesia from Medan to Flores was excellent. People were friendly but robust, the food was great, plenty of 4 or 5 star hotels to stay in overnight. Planes good but roads terrible - but they are not great nowadays in the UK. I travelled for 40 days chatting to people all the way. The people seemed happier than West Europeans. I didn't want to give the impression that Indonesians are any less informed than Europeans, in fact I found them more open. Europeans are possibly more rigid in their ideas.
