Malaysia an important part of China’s Asean expansion

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia remains a pivotal part of China’s economic expansion in Asean, despite the disparity in economic output between the two countries.

The year has just started but Chinese investors remain very much in the limelight, for better or worse, with Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd said to be leading the race to become Proton Holdings Bhd’s foreign strategic partner while a business weekly said Chinese investors were also interested in Scomi Engineering Bhd’s monorail operation.
