PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is still in the sweet spot to benefit from the China+1 strategy despite the United States and China reaching a truce and de-escalating from their trade war that has caused much volatility in the capital markets and caused much worry for the global trade system.
The tariff de-escalation between the two economic powerhouses earlier in the week had thrown the China+1 diversification strategy in question as some have questioned whether the temporary truce may become permanent and reduce the need or urgency among businesses, both Chinese and foreign-owned, to diversify their supply chains out of China.
