1. Brave Pink Hero Green: Trending Campaign on Indonesian Social Media
For the past few days, Indonesian social media timelines have been filled with the emergence of the Brave Pink Hero Green campaign. Many netizens have changed their social media profile pictures to include these two tones.
One of the creators of the Brave Pink Hero Green campaign, Anang Marjono, stated that the use of pink and green colors was taken from the extensive discourse that has been developing on social media. These two colors are considered to represent the protests that have been taking place in the country over the past week.
"Brave Pink is taken from the color of Mother Ana's headscarf, who protested in front of the DPR (House of Representatives) building last Thursday, and Green Hero is used to honor the late Affan Kurniawan," said Anang when contacted on Wednesday, September 3, 2025.

3. Why Prabowo Visited China Despite His Trip's Cancellation Amid Mass Protests
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has decided to make a foreign visit to Beijing, China, after previously canceling it due to a wave of domestic demonstrations last week.
Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi stated that the head of state flew to Beijing on Tuesday evening, September 2, 2025, to attend an invitation from President Xi Jinping. He was originally scheduled to arrive on August 31, 2025.
"However, due to domestic dynamics, President Prabowo decided to postpone his departure," Prasetyo said in a video statement on September 2, 2025.
Prasetyo explained that the reason the President went ahead with the visit was because there was a strong request from the Chinese government for Prabowo to attend, at least for one day to attend the Chinese military parade.
"However, in making his decision, the President certainly took into account everything related to the dynamics in the country," Prasetyo said.
