00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotline.
00:03 Anhua, the first prime minister of APEC, is in San Francisco, USA.
00:10 It can be said that the trip is full of parties.
00:12 Yesterday, Anhua visited the University of Berkeley in California
00:15 to give a lecture.
00:17 She shared her views on the friendship and relationship between Malaysia and China and the United States.
00:25 Anhua emphasized that Malaysia did not lean towards China.
00:28 But because the geographical location of the two countries is close,
00:31 China is our neighbor.
00:33 So China naturally became a reliable friend and ally of Malaysia.
00:37 But she also reiterated that the United States is also important to Malaysia.
00:42 Because the United States is a traditional ally of Malaysia,
00:44 and it is also a major investor in promoting the Malaysian economy.
00:47 Overall, the United States is the top investment in Malaysia.
00:51 But China is also gradually becoming one of the main investors.
00:56 In the process of continuing to interact with China,
00:58 Malaysia is also not easy to win.
01:00 Anhua also said that unless the policy position is delayed,
01:05 as long as there is peace competition,
01:08 countries like Malaysia do not need to choose sides between China and the United States.
01:13 In addition, Anhua also believes that medium-sized powers, such as Malaysia,
01:17 can help to ease the tension between China and the United States.
01:21 Because medium-sized powers can deal with relations realistically and rationally.
01:26 She does not think that armed conflicts between major powers cannot be avoided.
01:29 Medium-sized powers such as Malaysia can help ease the tension through creative diplomacy.
01:36 Prime Minister Anhua emphasized at a lecture at California University's Berkeley branch yesterday
01:43 that the United States and China are both important partners for Malaysia.
01:48 In addition, Anhua also revealed that although the US-Malaysia relationship is not as concerned
01:53 as the US-China, Japan or the Philippines,
01:57 it is still very important.
01:59 It is perhaps understandable if Malaysia's relationship with the United States
02:05 does not capture the same kind of attention as those involving China, Japan or now the Philippines.
02:13 Because it is neither an alliance nor particularly contentious.
02:17 It often seems as if the relationship is destined to hide in plain sight.
02:24 But thinking so, that would be a disservice to the long years of collaboration
02:31 and mutual respect that our two nations have built.
02:34 Anhua also said that the comprehensive partnership between China and the United States
02:37 will be in its tenth year in April next year.
02:40 The two sides will develop a feasible plan before the end of this year
02:44 to further strengthen the partnership between the two countries
02:47 and benefit the Malays, Americans and the wider region.
