Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says if Western countries have problems with China "they should not impose it upon us".
Mr Ibrahim insisted that Malaysia can be friends with both China and the West.
"We are an independent nation, we are fiercely independent, we do not want to be dictated by any force," Mr Ibrahim said.
"So it remains to be an important friend to the US and Europe and here in Australia. They should not preclude us from being friendly to one of our important neighbours, precisely China.
"If they have problems with China, they should not impose it upon us.
"We do not have a problem with China."
