Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir announced to the public after finishing visiting China that the cancellation of three cooperation projects involved in the construction of Chinese companies involved a amount of $ 23 billion.The news came out, and when the outside world was shocked, it also talked about whether the relationship between Malaysia and Malaysia would be "driving reversing andrdquo;
In fact, recognizing the current status of Sino -Malaysia relations and the stream of problems that the two countries have arisen in the new era will help the relationship between China and Malaysia to continue to develop along a healthy and stable road.
Three months after being elected Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir visited China. There are three main core tasks: one is to represent the new principle of the development of Malaysia -China relations to China on behalf of the Malaysian New Government;New ideas and new methods of planning in the field of economic and trade and infrastructure construction are planned.Among them, it also includes explaining to the Chinese side why Malaysia needs to re -consider whether the relevant cooperation projects continue; the third is to clearly states that Malaysia's attitude towards Andrdquo;
It should be said that Mahathir's first and third tasks have been successfully completed.At the meeting, Mahathir made it clear that this visit to China was an important measure of the Malaysian New Government, which aims to show to the Chinese government and the Chinese people that the friendly policy of Malaysia and China will not change.These words can be understood as not only the simple diplomatic statement of the horse side, but also to be more precise, it is a solemn political declaration that insists on friendship with China.It completely breaks the outside world's wrong guessing of the new government and "may adjust the policy of Chinese policy Andrdquo;
As for Andrdquo; and Mahathir reiterated that Andrsquo; and believe that it is conducive to regional development and prosperity of Andrdquo;This is Mahathir's doubts about the "Belt and Road Andrdquo; after many positive expressions. It should be said that accordingly, it can also completely dispel whether the Malaysian will participate in the suspicion of resisting the" Belt and Road Andrdquo;
However, the key to how to deal with the differences between the three major infrastructure and energy cooperation projects reached between the Malaysian government and China, including the 14%of the project construction of the "East Coast Railway Plan Andrdquo; and the two natural gas pipelines of Sabah and Malacca.Project. This is an important test of the relationship between Mahathir himself and the new government he led by him. If it is not handled well, the positive significance of the other two states is as false and worthless.
The project that Mahathir stopped was exactly the "Belt and Road Andrdquo of the Belt and Road Initiative, the Belt and Road Initiative; for China, the negative political significance of the project was far greater than the economic significance for China.The China -friendly Malaysia is frustrated, and Western public opinion will definitely play infinitely, and it can be imagined to cause negative impacts on relevant projects in other countries.
Therefore, before Mahathir visited China, China had tried to persuade Mahathir to retain these projects through various diplomatic channels; while China contracting companies were also willing to re -negotiate relevant funds arrangements with Malaysian partners, and even proposed more favorable favorable facilitiesLoan conditions.However, these efforts of China did not get Mahathir's contempt, but announced the cancellation of the project to the outside world as soon as possible at the end of the visit, and it was self -evident to the China ’s sincerity.
In my opinion, although Mahathir's actions did cause AND "hurting andrdquo; pain, it has come to Andrdquo; in danger, it is too true.Generally speaking, China -Malaysia relations will not only be affected by the suspension of the project, but the relationship between the two countries will be tested and is beneficial to correct it; in the future, China -Malaysia relations will be more transparent, fair and more in line with two.Developed on the basis of the fundamental interests of the country.Why do you see?
First of all, the most important achievement of Mahathir's visit to China is that on the one hand, the leaders of China and Malaysia have resolutely maintained the overall situation of friendly relations between China and Malaysia, grasped and confirmed the principles and directions of the development of the relationship between the two countries in the future;The differences in project cooperation are firmly controlled at the economic level, rather than letting economic differences affect the political relations between China and Malaysia.Frankly, if the leaders of China and Malaysia have no firm political willingness and the minds of the overall situation, it is difficult to achieve this.
Secondly, Mahathir conducted an "anti -corruption andrdquo; trace of the anti -corruption andrdquo; this belongs to the internal politics and judicial affairs of the Malaysian country.It is impossible to involve it. In the "Najib era Andrdquo; the project contract signed by the Central Malaysia, whether there is a violation of Malaysian laws, it will be announced by the Malaysian judicial organs after the investigation.
From this point of view, the essence of the cooperation between China and Malaysia seems to be beyond the scope of pure economic cooperation relationships, and it touches the internal sensitive judicial field of Malaysia.When the new government decided to investigate and evaluate Andrdquo; whether the project related to the project "involved in corruption andrdquo;, China understands and assist in maintaining the dignity of the Malaysian judicial system, it is naturally more important than anything.
Again, Mahathir is a senior politician and diplomat. He went to China to speak in his heart instead of Andrdquo.Mahathir will inevitably re -evaluate the domestic economic development goals and various challenges, and even make necessary adjustments.
When meeting with Mahathir, it has been clearly stated that the two countries and Andrd "to discuss new areas, new ideas, and new models, and continue to make big cooperation increment and Andrdquo.When new issues, how to reconstruct the cooperation framework, plan cooperation methods, and seek the best way for cooperation.
Mahathir is China's Andrdquo; "Old friend, good partner Andrdquo;, the Chinese government will not affect Mahathir's governance on individual project issues, not to mention Mahathir has made important contributions to Malaysian -China relations. Understanding him nowIn order to determine whether the Sino -Malaysia relations can be stable in the future. The Chinese government should also be convinced that Mahathir will not be as Andrdquo; China.Mahathir needs time to adjust, China also looks forward to new opportunities, and there is no contradiction between the two sides.
In the end, China was very clear that during the Malaysian election three months ago, Mahathir's Hope Alliance won 113 of the 222 seats in the 222 seats of Congress, an increase of 54 seats from the previous session.This fully shows that Malaysian voters are full of expectations and support for the Pakatan Harapan.In the first month of public opinion survey after Mahathir came to power, it can be found that 70%of the public opinion expressed Andrdquo;
The disgust of Malaysian nationals of corrupt officials is exactly the same as that of Chinese citizens' hatred of corrupt elements.Therefore, it is inferred that any decision made by China should respect the feelings of the Malaysian people and cherish the friendly emotions of the people of China and Malaysia.Of course, China is happy and supports a clean, fair, and transparent new government that can govern the people.The support of the nationals of the Malaysia and Mahathir is an important public opinion foundation and the foundation of the people's hearts of China -Malaysia.
It should also be pointed out that Mahathir stopped related projects, and also gave overseas Chinese companies Andrdquo; Northern Song Dynasty Wenhao Su Shi has a cloud: And "and" and "And"If you lose it, there is something forbidden to be wide andrdquo;.Meaning: There are two sides in everything. If you want to get it, you will lose it.Those companies trying to speculate politically, and drilling and drilling on the business of "Gray Zone Andrdquo; empty, seemingly savvy, but in the end, it will hurt others and will be ashamed of the country.
The examples of Malaysia also sounded the alarm clocks built by Chinese companies participating in Andrdquo; the alarm of Chinese enterprises: companies only comply with the laws and regulations of the country, respecting the local culture and beliefs, and adhering to the principle of transparentness and fairness in the project construction, can they obtain?Opportunities for survival and sustainable development.
According to the news from the pen, Mahathir said in an interview with a media that the cooperative project with China "or Chinese" may solve Andrdquo; and the "retaining negotiation room Andrdquo; and Andrdquo;Maybe this may still have the opportunity to rekindle the hopes of related projects?Everyone is waiting.
