Renewing 35 Years Of Malaysia-China
Relations: Najib's Visit To China
LIM Tin Seng, 23 June 2009
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak's
trip to Beijing in June 2009 is significant for
Malaysia-China relations as it symbolically
marked the 35th anniversary of diplomatic
relations between the two sides. More
importantly, China, after Singapore, is Najib's
second state visit as Malaysian Prime Minister
since assuming office in April 2009. This shows
that Najib will be adopting a China policy that
is much deeper than his predecessors. Najib's
Beijing trip is packed with economic deals to
create business opportunities for Malaysian
companies in China and provide an impetus of
growth for the Malaysian economy amid the
current poor global economic situation.
Highlights of these agreements consist of
developing a multi-billion ringgit integrated
city in Weifang (潍坊),
Shandong (山东)
province, taking advantage of China's
"go
global"
economic strategy and diversifying
Malaysia-China trade. These agreements would
take place on a solid economic platform which
was laid by 35 years of comprehensive
Malaysia-China economic cooperation. However,
there are still outstanding issues that may
derail Najib's
bid to upgrade Malaysia-China relations such as
the territorial disputes in the South China
Sea. But so far, both sides seem to be handling
these issues well.

Growth And Investment Efficiency In
China
WU Yanrui, 18 June 2009
Although less developed economies are often short of
capital during the course of economic development, China
seems to be an exception. In order to promote economic
growth, China has invested substantially for several
decades. The recently announced stimulus package will
trigger a new round of investment boom. Gross capital
formation as a proportion of China's GDP has maintained
a steadily high level since 1978 when economic reform
was initiated. The overall average during the period
1978-2007 was about 37.5 percent. However, China's
investment has suffered from low efficiency. It is
estimated that the overall weighted mean level of
investment efficiency among China's regional economies
is about 66 percent implying considerable scope for
improvement. In general, the coastal regions are more
efficient than the central and western regions.
Therefore, it is necessary for Beijing to adopt policies
focusing on improving investment efficiency such as
diverting more resources to the less developed Western
regions and to improve the environment for both foreign
and domestic investment.

Economic Zone On The West Coast Of
Taiwan Strait
ZHAO Hong & LIANG Ruobing, 18 June 2009
In
early May 2009, the Chinese State Council announced and
approved "Several Opinions Concerning Support for the
More Rapid Establishment of Economic Zone on the West
Coast of Taiwan Strait (EZWCTS) by Fujian Province."
This raised the EZWCTS officially to state-level to
become another economic growth engine of China.
The short-term goal of the EZWCTS is to increase local
GDP of Fujian province from 755 billion yuan in 2006 to
one trillion yuan in 2010. By enhancing the
modernisation of fundamental facilities and integrating
resources across the strait, a more dynamic and
harmonious region and a more developed and prosperous
economic belt along the west coast of Taiwan Strait is
set to emerge in the near future.
