KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) was given a pat on the back for helping Malay, Indian and other non-Mandarin speaking entrepreneurs to explore the China market.<\/p>\n
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said such initiatives undertaken by MCCC was much appreciated, as multiracial Malaysian entrepreneurs stood to benefit from China\u2019s rapid growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe government will continue to encourage young entrepreneurs, emerging industries and the halal industry to enter the China market,\u201d she said at the MCCC Chinese New Year celebrations held at a hotel here yesterday.<\/p>\n
Dr Wan Azizah said the bilateral trade volume between Malaysia and China hit a record high last year, recording US$80bil (RM326bil) in value.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would like more FDIs from China. China\u2019s experience in the Internet economy, its innovative experience in helping women and youths start their own businesses and in encouraging and assisting SMEs to embrace innovation are areas Malaysia would like to learn from,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
China\u2019s Ambassador to Malaysia Bai Tian said China would remain the largest investor in Malaysia\u2019s manufacturing industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe economy and development areas are not free of risk. But we must dispel negativity to see clearly. Let\u2019s work together as partners and continue making progress,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Describing Malaysia-China diplomatic ties as being solid over the last 45 years, Bai Tian said both countries had withstood the test of time and enjoyed tangible benefits.<\/p>\n
\u201cChina is ready to work with Malaysia at all levels including the central government, the local government and the business sector,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
