A new documentary highlights the vibrant relationship between China and Malaysia, showcasing how traditional crafts and modern technology converge to foster mutual development.
The film begins by delving into Malaysia's rich lion dance culture, emphasizing the preservation of lion head production and the historical roots of cultural exchanges between the two nations. This deep-seated heritage sets the stage for understanding the broader connections that bind China and Malaysia.
Central to this bond is the mutual visa exemption policy, which has significantly boosted tourism and enhanced people-to-people exchanges. As a result, more Malaysian families are enrolling their children in Chinese language schools, while programs in Chinese medicine and media at Xiamen University Malaysia are attracting a growing number of international students.
Beyond cultural ties, the documentary explores China's pivotal role in Malaysia's transition to Industry 4.0. Leveraging cloud technology and the Internet of Things (IoT), China is aiding Malaysian durian farms in increasing their production and efficiency, thereby injecting new vitality into the local economy. These collaborative efforts underscore a win-win partnership, highlighting the seamless integration of tradition and innovation on the path to common development.
