US-China trade war a boon

PETALING JAYA: The cooperation between China and Asean has become more important than ever in view of the country’s escalating trade war with the United States, said Malaysia’s special envoy to China, Tan Kok Wai.

He said seeing China and Asean countries strengthening their ties on economic development, improving the people’s livelihood and enjoying common prosperity were vital in view of the global economic slowdown and uncertainty over its recovery process as a result of the ongoing trade war.
