“This is a very important visit. You can read many things in it,” said Mohamed Nazri Abdel Aziz, a former Malaysian ambassador to the United States and Minister of Legal Affairs.

“China tells us that it is a reliable commercial partner, more than the United States. We have not faced any problems dealing with them,” Abdel Aziz told Al -Jazeera.

“Basically, all this is an architect to build a new international matter … Trump gave China an excuse for a strong push between countries around the world, especially developing countries,” Chen said.

“We reap money” with China

Among the three countries in which Xi chose its visit this week, analysts said that Malaysia is the most important of which is in China, given its 32 million population, its advanced high -tech base and the current presidency of ASEAN. China is also the largest commercial partner in Malaysia since 2009, and in 2024, the China-Malaysia trade amounted to 212 billion dollars.

“China hopes to enhance trade with Malaysia, which will compensate for reducing expected exports to the United States,” said Willie Woo Lab, a Chinese analyst at the United States Jamestown Foundation and author of “Confucius to Shi Jinping”.

“From a political point of view, Malaysia has a major impact among all the ten countries.” Lam said. “Including how countries with regional conflicts with China in the South China Sea should respond to the aggressive Beijing tactics in strengthening their grip.”

Alfred Molwan Woo, associate professor at Li Quan Yu College for Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, agreed, saying that Beijing is also looking at Malaysia as within its traditional field of influence, at the regional level.

This includes economically in terms of Chinese investments and the “China one plus” strategy, which includes Chinese companies to diversify their manufacturing rules, supply chains and establish factories outside China.

Wu said that Beijing sees the establishment of business institutions in Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries as a means of “spreading” China’s influence.

Ei Sun OH, the main adviser to the Pacific Research Center in Malaysia, a research tank, believes that a visit to Kuala Lumpur is more looking towards Beijing and “do not take the American side without justification”, which may suit Malaysia as well.

“From a geopolitical point of view, Malaysia may still play with the idea to float on China to deliberately calm the United States on very remote issues such as conflict in the Middle East,” Ohio said, referring to Malaysia’s support for Malaysia for the Palestinian reason.

However, most importantly, Malaysia is more interested in good business and “dies to get more investments from China and get more access to the markets to China.”
