The Indonesian government has recently banned Temu

The Indonesian government has recently banned Temu, a cross-border e-commerce platform owned by Pinduoduo, to protect local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This move reflects the Indonesian government's emphasis on the local economic ecosystem, aiming to create a more favorable development environment for local businesses by restricting competition from foreign e-commerce platforms. Although this may affect consumers' shopping options in the short term, it helps maintain the stability and sustainable development of local commerce in the long run. At the same time, this incident has sparked in-depth thinking about how to balance the development of cross-border e-commerce and local businesses. In today's increasingly competitive global e-commerce landscape, how to enjoy the convenience brought by cross-border e-commerce while protecting the growth of local businesses is a question that Indonesia and countries around the world need to explore.
