Malaysia has expressed support for China! Malaysia has made its choice! On September 2nd, according to foreign media reports, before attending our military parade, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar clearly stated that the global multilateral system is now on the verge of failure, and the United Nations has lost the ability and willingness to reform. Malaysia is willing to support China's proposal for global governance initiatives, promoting a more fair and inclusive international order.
Anwar said that China's initiative is consistent with the Confucian concept of the "middle way," based on justice, benevolence, and humanity; based on law; and centered on cooperation and multilateralism, which can be transformed into practical actions. Malaysia supports this. Obviously, in the context of the Sino-US rivalry, Malaysia's statement is unusual.
Although Malaysia did not explicitly state it, it is not too polite to say that Malaysia is dissatisfied with the US-led international order. First, Malaysia is dissatisfied with the US launching a trade war, which has disrupted the global economic and trade order. Second, as a country where Muslims make up the majority, Malaysia is also dissatisfied with the US's favoring Israel in the issue of Gaza and Palestine.
Evidently, Malaysia's clear statement of support for China's position is a blow to the United States. On one hand, this indicates that the US's actions are increasingly failing to meet the expectations of the international community. On the other hand, it also shows that Southeast Asian countries represented by Malaysia will cooperate more closely with China. Undoubtedly, Malaysia has made a choice that the US does not want to see.
