Squier Affinity - China vs Indonesia

There are 2 countries of origin for the Squier Affinity series basses. I got a chance to see an Indonesian made black P bass yesterday and the build quality, open gear tuners, skunk stripe, and headstock shape reminded me of the Squier VM series. The Chinese made Affinities have a different headstock and no skunk stripe. Are they still making them in Indonesia? They definitely seemed like quality instruments. The local shop had the Indonesian P bass listed used for $129. Right next to it was an Indonesian Squier Bullet J bass. It too had the same hardware, skunk stripe, headstock and build quality. Are these instruments still available new?
