To be honest as a member of WTO,
Indonesia were not right in this situation.
Indonesia can't force any brand to manufacture in Indonesia or be banned.
This is a completely wrong, and can make Indonesia in a very bad situation.

potato4k, 28 Oct 2024So many readers here are not even well informed. Firstly, ... moreApple chooses where the iPhones are made, not the contract company that they hire.. Foxconn is definitely not the only iPhone assembly manufacture, single source manufacturing is way too dangerous for a company that large. Foxconn, Pegatron, Compal Electronics, and Wistron are all different companies that assemble iPhones at different locations all around the world as to not have a single source like with the Tata iPhone plant that just caught fire a month ago halting the iPhone 16 being built there. Indonesia makes no sense for them to be assembled there for such a small amount of iPhone sales, just pay the rest of the import fee and move on.
