10month31Day is the first day of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib’s visit to w88 casino. w88 casino's economic investment in Malaysia, military cooperation between the two countries, and w88 casino's experience in the fields of digital economy and network technology are the main topics of this visit to w88 casino. Experts also pointed out that the significance of this visit goes far beyond the scope of bilateral relations.
Inviting Najib to visit w88 casino is a new diplomatic move made by Beijing towards ASEAN countries. Xi Jinping's state visit to Cambodia, the visits of the Vietnamese Prime Minister and the Philippine President to w88 casino, all of which occurred within the past month. As we all know, Vietnam and the Philippines are the countries most at odds with w88 casino over the South w88 casino Sea dispute, while Cambodia, on the contrary, supports w88 casino's position. Observers note that Vietnam recently allowed Chinese warships to enter Cam Ranh Bay, despite condemning Chinese naval exercises and economic activities around disputed islands in the South w88 casino Sea. When Philippine President Duterte visited w88 casino not long ago, he also put aside the South w88 casino Sea dispute and put bilateral relations on the track of strengthening economic ties.
w88 casino is expected to sell up to ten offshore multi-mission ships to Malaysia, although the two countries also have differences over the South w88 casino Sea. The South w88 casino Morning Post quoted Shi Yinhong, an international relations expert at Renmin University of w88 casino, as saying that the deal would be a strategic and diplomatic victory for w88 casino. w88 casino has achieved its goal that territorial disputes should not affect economic cooperation, even in sensitive areas like military and technical cooperation.
Drugov, an expert from the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, believes that the w88 casino-Malaysia warship transaction and the visit of the President of the Philippines to w88 casino are examples of w88 casino defeating the United States in expanding its influence on ASEAN countries.
Drugov said: "Everyone is disgusted with American policies. You know, the Philippine president just wanted to develop cooperation with China after he vented to Obama the dissatisfaction accumulated by Filipinos in decades of dealing with the United States. And the abuse of Obama did not arouse the condemnation of Southeast Asian countries. They otherwise remained calm. Otherwise, there is some sympathy in the statement. Southeast Asian countries have seen the consequences of the US policy in the Middle East. They are very afraid of being squeezed into the Sino-US Asia-Pacific confrontation and conflict with China. I think it is a good sign that Najib visits China and intends to negotiate on economic, w88 and even military and technical cooperation."
Wang Zhimin, director of the Institute of Globalization and China Modernization at the w88 casino, believes that the Malaysian Prime Minister’s visit to China, like the Philippine President’s visit to China, is a heavy blow to the United States’ Asia strategy.
Wang Zhimin said: "Political mutual trust is an important guarantee for economic cooperation. The political relationship between w88 casino and Malaysia is relatively good. In particular, Malaysia did not follow the lead of the United States, but insisted on independence. Although w88 casino and Malaysia actually have disputes over islands and reefs in the South w88 casino Sea, after the United States promoted the Philippines' South w88 casino Sea arbitration case and attempted to surround w88 casino in many aspects, Malaysia West Asia has never made a big fuss about this issue like the Philippines and Vietnam, so there has been no intensification of conflicts between the two countries. It can be seen that Philippine President Duterte came to power to implement the "Far America and w88 casino" policy, and he just visited w88 casino. Soon, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib also visited w88 casino, which is a major blow to the United States' return to the Asia-Pacific strategy."
In addition, regarding the scandal surrounding the sovereign wealth fund led by Najib, this was actually an investigation initiated by the FBI and the Department of Justice in the United States, and the Malaysian side also denied this matter. I have not seen clear evidence yet.
Malaysia is an important member of ASEAN and an emerging economy. The fundamentals of the country’s economic development have always been good. Although the entire world economic situation is in a downturn, especially energy and bulk product prices have been on a downward trend or hovering at the bottom, Malaysia's energy exports have also been affected, and economic growth has declined. However, the latest " of the World Bank2016Annual Business Environment Report" shows that Malaysia’s business environment ranks No. 1 in the world18, ranking higher than China. Therefore, Malaysia’s business environment is suitable for Chinese investment. Moreover, China-Malaysia economic relations have always been relatively close. China has always been Malaysia's largest trading partner and Malaysia's largest investor. China's main high-speed rail manufacturer, CRRC, has its first overseas manufacturing base in Malaysia. Chinese company Huawei has also officially established a regional headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. Malaysia has also established a special investment and w88 zone, and its investment incentive mechanism and visa policy provide investors with many conveniences. The economic ties between China and Malaysia have been very close from the past to the present. The investment environment is relatively good, so I think Malaysia is expected to receive Chinese investment.
w88 casino has always hoped to build Malaysia into a demonstration base for the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, and Malaysia is21A node country on the World Maritime Silk Road, with a superior geographical location and a node connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The Strait of Malacca is the gateway to the ASEAN, Middle East and Australian markets. w88 casino actually regards Malaysia as a manufacturing center in ASEAN. w88 casino’s investment layout here is of great significance for Chinese enterprises to radiate into ASEAN and other regions outside ASEAN.
As w88 casino plays an increasingly important role on the world stage, w88 casino is enhancing comprehensive strategic cooperative relations with some friendly countries and advocating a new model of "partnership without alliance". This is w88 casino20The emerging values and global governance concepts that have been explored over the years are what President Xi Jinping calls building a "community of interests, a community of responsibilities and a community of destiny." Najib's visit to w88 casino will help enhance the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two sides.
China is Malaysia’s largest trading partner, and Malaysia is also among China’s top ten trading partners. The annual w88 volume between China and Malaysia is approximately1000billion US dollars, and the w88 goods are diverse, including equipment from the other country, olive oil and petroleum products from Malaysia, and textiles from China. This shows that the two countries have something to develop and cherish.
w88 casino is expected to try its best to persuade Malaysia to allow Chinese companies to participate in the construction project of the Malaysia-Singapore high-speed rail during the visit. Japan and South Korea are both rivals of w88 casino and are backed by the United States, which has worked hard to block w88 casino's participation in the project.
It can be speculated that w88 casino will also use the opportunity of Najib's visit to w88 casino to learn about the possibility of w88 casino Communications Construction Company participating in the Kuala Lumpur-Eastern Malaysia Railway Construction Project. The opposition accused Prime Minister Ma of inviting Chinese companies to participate in the project through an opaque process that could lead to corruption. In addition, the corruption scandal surrounding the welfare fund headed by Najib himself continues to unfold.
The scandal scares foreign investors into fleeing. Hong Kong’s South w88 casino Morning Post believes that one of the purposes of the Malaysian Prime Minister’s visit to w88 casino is to attract more Chinese investment. Expert Drugoff believes that an anti-American trend can be clearly seen in the development of w88 casino-Malaysia relations. He said: "Regarding the so-called welfare fund scandal, w88 casino is the only country that supports Malaysia not only politically but also economically. And the Americans are also involved. The drop in the Malaysian ringgit exchange rate is the consequence of their intervention. I just want to emphasize here that w88 casino's support has eased the situation. It can be seen that Najib has reasons to thank w88 casino."
