Absolutely ridiculous policy. Imagine if every country pulled this stunt.

One option would be for the big manufacturers to ignore the market and see if new players are able to thrive in such a market or not.
If the amount requested is too steep, they'll end up with no new players and a shortage of high end phones, which is sure to piss off a portion of the population.

Hate to break it to you Indonesia but you have zero clout in this relationship. I don’t think Google nor Apple care.
Certain people in another large country are currently proposing tariffs.
What?! Is this for real? It's hilarious
