They are generally cheaper than motorcycles made in Japan and other countries. I'm not sure whether our people are really keen on buying these Chinese motorcycles or just showing some interest in them. One thing for sure is that the promotion of these products has been very intensively conducted.",

They are generally cheaper than<br>\nmotorcycles made in Japan and other countries.<\/p>\n<p>I'm not sure whether our people are really keen on buying<br>\nthese Chinese motorcycles or just showing some interest in them.<br>\nOne thing for sure is that the promotion of these products has<br>\nbeen very intensively conducted.<\/p>\n<p>To me, an interesting point to note is that it is not all of a<br>\nsudden that our market has been flooded by Chinese motorcycles.<br>\nThis means that our businessmen in this area have been taken off-<br>\nguard. I'm curious about why we have always been left behind in<br>\ndoing business. Is it not possible for Indonesia to be<br>\nindustrialized like China and Taiwan, whose industrial<br>\ndevelopment took off much earlier than that of mainland China.<\/p>\n<p>We always boast of our rich natural and human resources. Just<br>\nthink that our population stands at over 200 million people.<br>\nUnfortunately we are always left behind in trade. We are too much<br>\nabsorbed in politics and power struggle. Soeharto's fall has<br>\nbrought to us an excessive euphoria of freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Our politicians are concerned more with the facilities that<br>\nthey enjoy as legislators rather than with the destiny of the<br>\npeople, who are their electoral voters. They no longer remember<br>\nthat we need economic recovery and the restoration of security.<\/p>\n<p>Given this fact, when will we ever be able to sell our<br>\nmotorcycles to China, which is a vast market of about one billion<br>\npeople?<\/p>\n<p>RADITYA<\/p>\n<p>Bandung<\/p>",
