Malaysia’s problem: how to cut a better deal with China

KUALA LUMPUR: (Bloomberg): Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is pushing back against China’s dominance in the economy, stalling billions of dollars of contracts as he tries to renegotiate them.

He’s heading to China in August -- specific dates haven’t been disclosed yet -- to discuss those projects and try to win deals that he says should be more favourable to Malaysia.
