Unpacking China's Record Investments In Malaysia

The Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry, along with the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), has been supervising nearly 18 billion ringgit of investments from Chinese companies into Malaysia.

Joining us to unpack China’s capital injections into Malaysia is Dr. Cassey Lee, Senior Fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute
