CHINESE PRODUCTS WINNING IN RI MARKET: GOVT SURVEY
The Jakarta Post | Thu, 03/24/2011
A recent government survey shows that in many cases customers prefer Chinese products over local goods, a consequence experts warned of with the implementation of ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA).
“Traders choose to sell products from China. This is causing a decline in domestic production,” Agus Tjahyana, the international industry cooperation director general at the Industry Ministry, said Wednesday as quoted by kontan.co.id.
The survey sampled 2,738 traders, 3,521 buyers and 724 companies in 11 major cities. These cities were Medan, Padang, Palembang, Jakarta, Bandung Semarang, Surabaya, Denpasar, Pontianak, Makassar and Manado.
However, traders often said local products were of better quality than products from China, thanks to the presence of the national standards (SNI), Agus said.
Based on data from the Customs and Excise Office, imports of Chinese products increased by 45.9 percent in 2010, while our exports to China grew 36.5 percent.

Remarks;
a). imports is buy products from out country.
b). exports is seel products to out country.

II. Tugas 2

My chemical romace”cancer”
Turn away
If you could get me a drink of water
'Cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my Aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers, still
I will not kiss you
'Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
Now turn away
'Cause I'm awful just to see
'Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body
Oh, my agony
Now that I will never marry
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know
That if you say
(If you say)
Goodbye today
(Goodbye today)
I'd ask you to be true
(I'd ask you to be true)
'Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
