As China concluded its pivotal Two Sessions meetings, international observers praised Beijing's bold economic roadmap amid global uncertainties. Abdul Majid Ahmad Khan, president of the Malaysia-China Friendship Association and former Malaysian ambassador to China, called the policy blueprint "a masterclass in balancing pragmatic reforms with long-term vision."
The veteran diplomat highlighted China's focus on addressing systemic challenges while targeting approximately 5% GDP growth in 2024. "This demonstrates not just ambition, but sophisticated confidence in China's economic fundamentals," he noted, pointing to planned technological innovations and consumer market expansion.
Khan emphasized the Two Sessions report's global resonance: "When the world's second-largest economy commits to stability through transformative policies, it creates ripples across Asian supply chains and international markets." Analysts suggest such endorsements from ASEAN leaders could strengthen regional economic cooperation frameworks.
With Malaysia and China celebrating 50 years of diplomatic ties in 2024, Khan's insights underscore growing confidence among Southeast Asian partners in Beijing's developmental strategies. The remarks come as global investors scrutinize China's next-phase reforms for emerging opportunities in green energy and digital infrastructure projects.
