JAKARTA - Minister of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Maman Abdurrahman accused cargo companies and expeditions of being the culprits of Indonesia being flooded with Chinese products.
As a result, Indonesian MSME entrepreneurs lose competitiveness in their own country.
Maman said that currently the domestic market is still being flooded with products from China. According to him, Indonesia is not 'haram' on imported products, but it should not be necessary to import goods that can be produced domestically
"The problem now is that our MSMEs are able to make clothes, produce headscarves, produce batik clothes, make pants, shoes, all kinds of sandals. But we let them enter from outside, it's terrible," explained Maman in a Big Conference in Jakarta, Monday, December 8.
Maman said that the reason Indonesia was flooded with Chinese products was not the import mafia but expedition companies and cargo goods that passed these products.
"This is not an import mafia that plays. But an expedition company and cargo of goods," said Maman.
He explained that the mode used was to buy large quantities from China and then cooperate with shipping and cargo companies to import unknown quantities and specifications.
"How many qualifications, for example, items of A's goods, how many can be imported? Are 10,000 items, 20,000 items, or 30,000 items, or 100,000 items? This is not clear," he said.

Maman juga mengatakan, setelah pihaknya melakukan identifikasi, lemahnya pengawasan juga menjadi salah satu penyebab menjamurnya produk impor asal Cina.
"Terkait temuannya, teman-teman buka aja itu di TikTok itu Semua 'telanjang' ada disitu, saya juga enggak tahu kok bisa bebas kayak begitu. Ya pasti, ada oknum yang ikut terlibat," tandas Maman.

Maman also said that after his party identified him, weak supervision was also one of the causes of the proliferation of imported products from China.
"Regarding his findings, my friends just opened it on TikTok. Everything is ' Naked' there, I also don't know how to be free like that. Yes, for sure, there are people involved," said Maman.
