President Sukarno of Indonesia used economic aid from China and the Soviet Union to counter Western influence, and used domestic Indonesian Communists to counter domestic Muslim opponents.

Explanation:

Sukarno was an Indonesian politician, the first president of that nation from 1945 to 1968.

In August 1945, Indonesia proclaimed independence. It led to the war against the Netherlands, until this recognized the independence of the country in 1949.

After a democratic start, Sukarno declared himself a lifelong president, driving his country close to bankruptcy and war with Malaysia in the 1960s. The political system created by Sukarno in Indonesia was called controlled democracy, a communist-type regime.  

Sukarno was a charismatic person, especially known for his anti-Western rhetoric. In 1961 he was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize among the peoples.

General Suharto forced Sukarno out of power in March 1966, and replaced him as President in 1968. Sukarno was isolated, under house arrest, until his death in Jakarta on June 21, 1970.
