The North Natuna Sea, which is located in the Riau Archipelago, directly adjacent to the South China Sea, is Indonesia's sovereign territory, and has a wealth of natural resources that makes this area want to be controlled by China on the basis of the nine-dash line. This unilateral claim by China has triggered conflicts from other countries because it is not in accordance with international law recognized by UNCLOS 1982. This condition can be called VUCA, namely volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, namely several difficult conditions and situations.
