Dr. Xu ningning on this: "indeed now set such barriers on Indonesian terms is meaningless, because China is now on Indonesian trade deficit, he feared being subjected to impact of clothing, footwear and other industries has not affected, but increased exports to developed countries, and to attract large numbers of foreign funds. ”

Dr. Xu ningning, China-ASEAN free trade area of the establishment should be deepening regional trade facilitation and liberalization of China and ASEAN between building an open, transparent trading system is extremely necessary, set a non-tariff trade barriers is a short-sighted behavior, from a long-term point of view, the country's industrial development.

Many Chinese enterprises and not specific to the Indonesian market, imports by clothing, for example, many raw materials and auxiliary materials to zero tariff into Indonesian market, Indonesian garment enterprises processing garments after exported to Europe and the United States and other countries, this is Indonesia gets international fashion market share is beneficial, I believe they should be able to see this. ”
