The government must handle the geopolitical conflict between the two superpowers wisely. U.S. authorities have blocked many Chinese companies from entering the U.S. market. However, Chinese companies require third-country geo-economic status to enter the U.S. market. Malaysia has intellectual property rights and international goodwill that Chinese companies can leverage.

[@azharidris7092]

there is no superpower conflicts.. the US is no longer a superpower.. just a pain in the neck.. this report is being twisted big time..

Chinese tech firms want to use Malaysia as a front.

[@azure4100]

We shouldn't promise anything. What we are is a neutral trading platform. US can sanction whatever companies they want. China can sell whatever they want. If either is not happy, that's too bad. Malaysia should stand our ground and be the bridge between West and Asia.

[@miketan4803]

It's unavoidable. As a Malaysian I just worry that Malaysia gets secondary sanction

[@eavenpan1988]

Beware of the Commies

[@tanjongmalim6869]

Why China choose Malaysia ? Why not Thailand or Indonesia? Obviously Malaysia is deemed as not equal partner. What China company has done to Proton after Malaysia sell to them? Target missed and promises not fulfilled. What did Country Gardern did to Johore property reputation ?

[@Chingaez]

Yeah, especially the Proton part. Do ANY Malaysians even remember Proton?

Geely cars are 100% better than the old Proton tbh

Proton is a great company before the sepet took over, i agreed with you

[@tg988]

Of course China doesn’t consider Malaysia as equal partner. China is so much superior and far more advance compared to Malaysia. In the business world is more like I scratch your back, you scratch my back. I use you, you use me.

Just tell xi jinping step down. US will to let them export into us without tariff 🤣😆😅😂

[@ooiwenyi8478]

Local Benefits must be priotised and outweigh the rest in any of such negotiations involving 3rd parties. If the negotiation will only see small and minor parts of the operation being migrated to Malaysia for local jobs creation while the rest is operating elsewhere, what is the incentive of doing such favor for others?

Give more job opportunities to Banglas Rohingyas Indons and the like ?

They won't. I am type c and i definitely know the chinese very well. The mindset is u will be my competitor and i am not benefiting from this. Even if there is little benefit it is still better to control all in my own hand.

[@ageeibc6029]

Malaysian relationship with China has always been good

[@MindfulSong-i5o]

The decision of Chinese companies to relocate production to Malaysia to avoid US tariffs highlights the complexity and dynamism of global trade. This move not only reflects their adaptability to economic conditions but also potential economic benefits for Malaysia, such as increased investment and job creation. However, this phenomenon raises questions about the sustainability and long-term impact on the economies involved

[@edwardv7991]

Malaysia will be the beacon of economy growth if they succeed this!

[@tokroni]

No. Malaysia will recieve sanctions from US . They hantam all affecting all even genuine Malaysian companies. China will act all surprised and cabut to other countries like parasites to suck leaving Malaysia in the dirt

[@Hs5687]

Hilarious 😂… China is BRICs … China doesn’t need Malaysia But maybe trying to irritate Vietnam 😊

[@ThorsMartell]

It'd be even better for MY if the U.S. says no because than CN companies are forced to move at least of the manufacturing process to MY, not just the final assembly. The final assembly is just manual labor nobody wants to do but Bangladeshi guest labor.

Mari 2, kita pastikan Wang China company kekal simpan di malaysia, tukar lagi PM tukar cabinet jadikan huru hara sampai wang dia orang tak jumpa.

[@damienyuen7718]

When America can't compete they use sanctions and tariffs instead. Yes they can slow down China temporarily but not for long and not without hurting themselves in the process.

Why orang putih come to invest, we treat them like God, now China come to invest, they are 2nd largest economy body in terms of gdp and largest in terms of ppp. What's wrong? Now is Asian century. Also don't too depends on FDI, look into Malaysian companies as well.

I hope Malaysia government will grab this golden opportunity. It will help to create jobs and also learning from China will in turn create knowledgeable workers. If Malaysia don't grab this opportunity others will.

[@Iron-Bridge]

Not that simple. Kedua- dua belah mata harus buka supaya peka dengan political game. If we just look at pure money, that's temporary. Opportunity is a good thing. But always be aware of the game that's going on.

Yeah...I doubt that even these companies from West Taiwan will help Malaysia much, especially when even West Taiwan itself is already of a brink of collapse. Let's be honest here: Who is at fault for that in the first place? I REALLY don't want to hear the folks keep blamming the outsiders for their own woes.
