CHINA will give Malaysia and Vietnam greater access to its markets, President Xi Jinping promised today after the United States increased its tariffs on Chinese goods to 245 per cent in some cases.
In a meeting with Malaysia’s King Ibrahim Iskandar, the Chinese president said: “China welcomes more high-quality agricultural products from Malaysia to enter the Chinese market and encourages Chinese companies to invest and start businesses in Malaysia.”
He also mentioned further developing co-operation in the fields of green tech and artificial intelligence.
