China Vows to Improve Quality of Exports

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has asked the Indonesian government to
impose a more stringent quality control measure for imported products from
China. According to Li, a tighter quality controling would be beneficial for both
nations because Chinese exporters are still more known to prioritize mass production and low
prices, as opposed to quality products.
I hope Indonesia could do impose such measures for all products that it imports from
China, said the Premier at the Indonesia-China Economic Cooperation Forum in Beijing on
Friday.
Li said that as a developing nation, China wants to improve the quality of its export products.
This will be a beneficial test for our exporters when they investing abroad - because if they
focus more on producing quality products as opposed to lowering prices, they will
undoubtedly benefit too, he said.
During his speech at the forum, President Joko Jokowi Widodo explained the variety of
possible areas of business cooperation between both nations. China and Indonesia could
cooperate in building new power plants, highways, ports and harbors, airports, and other
infrastructure projects which are due to commence this year, said Jokowi, as quoted
by Antara.
Business players in Indonesia has responded positively to the calls made by the Premier for
Indonesia to increase its quality control measures. There are still many rules and loopholes
that need to be addressed in order for such measures to be effective, said the Head of The
Indonesian Food and Beverage Producers Association (GAPPMI), Adhi S. Lukman,
to Tempo on Friday.
According to Adhi, the waves of cheap, Chinese products which has flooded the market has
negatively impacted the capacity of local producers to compete and subsequently, grow.
With tighter regulations, Adhi hopes that Indonesias domestic market could begin its
transformation into a fairer market with a healthy degree of market competition, wherein
only quality products are sold.
Indonesian Retailers Associations (Aprindo) executive director, Tutum Rahanta, hopes that
Jokowi would commit and respond to the Premiers request, as Aprindo sees that the current
state of the market is flooded by opportunistic importers who takes profit from cheap
Chinese products without regards to quality and safety. Loose - if not, non-existent
regulations - have driven our consumers towards these sort of products, because its
cheaper, said Rahanta to Tempo.
