Jokowi has launched a campaign to "hate foreign products"
“The appeal to love Indonesian products must be promoted constantly, as well as the campaign to hate on foreign products. Not only [should we] campaign for love but also hate,” said the President in the meeting at the State Palace on March 4. “Love local products. Hate foreign products.”
That seems to be quite a strange statement and a strange campaign. How can you hate all the cars you see, all the planes you fly in, all your kitchen appliances etc.? Is it healthy to carry out your day with feelings of hate triggered every few minutes? I wonder if the stress of his job is getting to him to come up with such a strange statement?
