As a super power country in Asia and even the world, China is Indonesia's main trading partner with an import value of US$39,634.7 million in 2020. The decision of a country to conduct trade cooperation, whether bilateral or multilateral is basically to obtain or increase national income, expand the market and is also influenced by trading partners or partners with whom the country will conduct trade cooperation. The better and more promising the trading partners or cooperation partners are, the more profitable it will be for the parties involved in the trade. Foreign trade is a source of foreign exchange for the country; it is natural that if other countries want to establish trade cooperation relations with China, then there must be a standard to ensure the quality of the trade comparison data.
