Two Countries, Twin Parks: Batang Industrial Park's Wanxinda Inaugurated and Operational
On July 26, witnessed by Indonesian President Joko Widodo and several cabinet ministers, the Batang Industrial Park located in the Central Java industrial belt was officially inaugurated and operational. President Jokowi stated that the park has attracted 18 companies with a total investment of 14.8 trillion Indonesian rupiah in just three years since its planning and construction. The Batang Industrial Park is not only a national strategic project for Indonesia but also became the Indonesian-side park of the China-Indonesia Two Countries, Twin Parks project in 2021. Among the companies settling in the park, there is a Chinese-funded enterprise called Wanxinda. The founder of Wanxinda, Mr. Chen Riling, is a firm practitioner of the Twin Parks initiative.
The "Two Countries, Twin Parks" Project: Batang Wanxinda Industrial Park
On July 25, starting from Jakarta, after a 1-hour flight, Mr. Wang landed in Semarang, the core city of the Central Java industrial belt, and then after another 1-hour drive, arrived at the Batang Wanxinda Industrial Park, 60 kilometers west of Semarang. The planned total area of the Batang Industrial Park is 4,300 hectares. After the Indonesian government initiated construction in 2021, it became the Indonesian partner park of the China-Indonesia Two Countries, Twin Parks project that same year. In 2023, Dr. Chen Riling, founder of the Wanxinda Group, came to Indonesia. After driving a total of 50,000 kilometers for site inspections, he was attracted by the park's convenient transportation, complete supporting facilities, and the competitive advantages of labor and land costs in Central Java, finally settling in the Batang park. The first phase covers an area of 200 hectares for the construction of the Batang Wanxinda Industrial Park.
Indonesian Trade Minister Says Illegal Import Task Force Does Not Target Ordinary Merchants
The Minister of Trade (Mendag) confirmed that the Illegal Imported Goods Supervision Task Force (Satgas), which applies to import trade procedures, focuses on importers and/or distributors of illegal goods, not on retailers or traders in shopping centers. However, the task force may also conduct inspections in shopping centers, but the nature of these inspections is to seek information about illegal importers. The task force's duties include: first, identifying problems in the supervision of certain goods subject to import trade regulations; second, determining program objectives and work procedures; and third, inspecting business licenses or requirements for certain goods subject to the import trade system.
