Read the above paragraph and answer the following questions The triangular relationship between Indonesia, China and the United States has fluctuated throughout history. The peak of Indonesia China relations was during the Sukarno era when the Jakarta-Beijing axis became an irritant to Washington. After an initial honeymoon period, when the United States supported Indonesian independence against the wish of its Dutch ally, the relationship went sour as Sukarno tilted towards China. But the United States continued to cultivate allies among military officers during this period. Sino-Indonesian relations took a freefall dive almost overnight after the failed communist coup attempt back by China in 1965, which killed a number of high-ranking army officers. Suharto's anti communist Indonesia became one of the United States' most important allies in Southeast Asia.
