Culture war

2011, in Jakarta theres so many foreign artist concert, like in Java Jazz Festival, Deftones, Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne and many more. 
Gosh, wish i have a lots of money.
Dont forget about the KIMCHI Concert, consist of many Korean musicians sing their song, dancing held in 4th June 2011. 
Korean culture since i think 5 years ago enter Indonesia with the legendary "Winter Sonata" Korean drama. After that Indosiar found its viewers segment by playing K-drama like My Sassy Girl, Hotelier and many many drama titles.
Culture war? Yes! 
Dont forget other famous korean brands like Hyundai, KIA, Samsung, LG and Lejel Home Shopping. For Ssanyong, although its a koreans car brand, its engine used Mercedes-Benz engine.
Remember in the 70s, japan cars enter Indonesia and there was a riot named "Malary Tragedy"? the core of the story is about banning japanese cars in that time.
90s, remember the japanese drama? 
Or american drama like Beverly Hills 90210? Melrose Place?
Indias movies lined up in SCTV?
Vampire movies in Saturday morning in RCTI?
and in 2000 taiwanese drama F4? (sorry, i forgot The name) :p 
Dont forget the duet of Upin-Ipin from Malaysia.

How about our indonesian culture? Did our goverment promoted too? 
Yes, we have cultural mission went abroad, or did you remember about foreigners that studied our batik, gamelan and many of them?
Yup, we did!
Thats in the official ways, in "inofficial" ways, we had our musicians having concert abroad (Malaysia, Singapore or Hongkong).
In my opinion, this is the greatest culture war from our side. Some of the spectators are not Indonesians migrant workers.
Although the news is not so often, but still our musicians has a place in their fans heart outside Indonesia, shown as Indonesian musicians as nominees in Anugerah Planet Muzik, like this lonk below:
Happy reading.
