IT would appear that China-bashing has become the latest trend in Malaysian politics. This is especially the case after Malaysia signed 14 business-to-business (B2B) MoUs with China worth RM144bil. These investments, to some critics, are apparently a new form of colonisation that will allegedly lead to our country being flooded by Chinese nationals.
Such grouses are nothing new. We note that similar arguments were made during the negotiations over the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), which was apparently also going to cost us our independence with the Americans taking over our assets. It seems as if nothing the Government ever does is right.
