JAKARTA: Indonesian President Joko Widodo has called on his cabinet ministers and other government officials to push a "hate foreign products" campaign to support the country's small-and-medium enterprises.

In a speech to open a national meeting of government officials dealing with trade affairs on Thursday, the president said, "Calls for loving Indonesian products must continuously be echoed."

"Echo calls for hating foreign products as well," he said in the meeting, which was also attended by trade attaches of foreign embassies in Jakarta.

He's just rightly condemning globalist bullshit. Globalism looks good on paper but not in reality. It retards and destroys some industries

Its the way the hyper globalist cvnts have set up the system. We have perpetually over valued currencies which is why our main industry is selling coffee's to each other. And China + its imitators have a perpetually under valued currency. So they make literally everything.

If we had a normal global system, every country would produce some and consume some and just trade their surpluses.

Actually, that's not what he's doing - reading the article helps.

The president's remarks, however, quickly drew negative responses from netizens, who mostly expressed disagreement with the premise that to love local products, one has to hate foreign products.One person took to Twitter to address the president, saying, "You intend to call on the people to love local products more. However, surely it doesn't mean that they should hate foreign products. If you hate foreign products, it means...you should not allow imported goods. Are you ready?"
While another netizen wrote, "What kind of a statement is this? Are you ready if other countries do the same thing to Indonesian products?"

That a good statement. Indonesia cannot afford to lock out all imports.
