KUALA LUMPUR – President Xi Jinping concluded a historic state visit to Malaysia on April 17, 2025, marking 12 years since his last trip to the Southeast Asian nation and underscoring deepening bilateral cooperation. The visit has sparked fresh conversations about economic synergies between the two countries.
In Selangor, a hub for cross-border commerce, residents shared insights with KhabarAsia on how China-Malaysia collaboration impacts daily life. 'From electronics to home appliances, Chinese products have become part of our households,' said Norehan Binti Hussin, a local resident. 'This exchange benefits both sides – we gain quality goods, while Malaysian industries access China's vast market.'
Analysts note that Xi's visit reinvigorated discussions on infrastructure partnerships and digital economy initiatives. Malaysia's strategic position in ASEAN and China's technological expertise are increasingly viewed as complementary assets in regional supply chain restructuring.
