"Malaysia’s China-friendly stance is a bid to get its biggest trading partner to help keep the economy stable: ‘You can’t be choosy’

China Premier Li Qiang got the red carpet treatment when he landed in the Southeast Asian country of Malaysia on Tuesday, the last leg of a three-country regional tour.
During his first two stops—New Zealand and Australia—Li had to navigate a complex relationship with major trading partners still beset by simmering disagreements.
But Li was in friendlier territory for his last stop. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, has been much more open toward Beijing and China. In public statements and interviews, Anwar has criticized a rising tide of “China-phobia,” emphasized his country’s nonaligned status, called China President Xi Jinping an “outstanding” leader, and even said Malaysia wants to join the BRICS international grouping of countries ahead of Li’s visit."
