CHOW BING NGEOW
This book provides an updated assessment of the different dynamics concerning Malaysia-China relations. It discusses political engagements between the top leaders from both sides, examines China’s and Malaysia’s views of the South China Sea issue, and evaluates Malaysia’s foreign policy posture towards China. It also reflects upon the evolution of bilateral economic ties from simple trade relations to integrated supply chains. As Malaysia looks for further economic growth and technological upgrade, the role of China’s investment will become more and more important. The book therefore will also look into areas where China’s investment will potentially enhance Malaysia’s economic resilience substantially, such as the digital and clean energy sectors. Finally, the book also reviews the educational, cultural and media aspects of Malaysia-China relations.
