Political Analysts & Academics Fui K Soong & Rita Sim - China Won’t Protect Malaysia’s Chinese

Political Analysts & Academics Fui K Soong & Rita Sim - China Won’t Protect Malaysia’s Chinese 

An eye-opening conversation that sought to begin with an exploration of the non-homogenous nature of Malaysia’s Chinese (not all Chinese are the same!!) that morphed into the much more important discussion of Malaysia’s position in a world of multiple superpowers and how we need to deal with the changing world order.
