 Malaysia's prime minister doesn't want to choose between the U.S. and China
==========

Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim condemns rising 'China-phobia' in Western countries and emphasizes Malaysia's neutrality in the superpower rivalry between the U.S. and China. Anwar aims to attract investments from both China and Western governments, with companies like Tesla, Micron, Intel, and Infineon expanding their presence in Malaysia. Malaysia has also received a significant investment from China through the Belt and Road Initiative. Anwar believes geopolitics is not a zero-sum game and wants to maintain good relations with both the U.S. and China, similar to other Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia, Vietnam, and Singapore.
