Xinhua News Agency of Singapore reported today (November 27) that Malaysia and Cambodia have signed trade agreements with the United States in the previous month, and China has expressed concerns about certain contents in both agreements.
Both agreements include provisions encouraging Malaysia and Cambodia to "align" with the United States on national security issues such as export controls, investment reviews, and sanctions. It is obvious that the United States is targeting China. The Chinese side has clearly required Malaysia and Cambodia that the relevant agreements must not harm China's interests.
The Chinese concerns are in line with its own interests and also set a bottom line for regional cooperation stability. Malaysia and Cambodia have provided explanations and clarifications, demonstrating their attitude of maintaining bilateral economic and trade relations amid great power games. They also know that if they cooperate with the United States in implementing measures such as export controls against China, it will inevitably harm their own interests and result in losses.
