Prime Minister Mahathir’s various statements about China since his stunning return to power in May 2018 have left the impression that the new Malaysia is now determined to reset its relations with the giant neighbor. This is especially so after the 93-year-old leader made an announcement during his China visit in August that his government is cancelling three controversial Chinese-funded projects in Malaysia. Many observers have been quick to opine that Malaysia under Mahathir 2.0 is pushing back Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative, confronting China’s assertiveness in the South China Sea, and resisting Chinese hegemony in the region. This talk refutes this simplistic view. The speaker suggests that the new Malaysia’s approach is still evolving, and it is more nuanced than widely assumed.

Please join us for a lips smacking meal at the city’s famous sizzling ribs restaurant while engaging in an intellectual talk with like-minded folks from Young China Watchers (Singapore Chapter) and Hong Kong Singapore Business Association. What better way of spending an evening than this?
