In a recent statement, former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed emphasized that the rise of China is an unstoppable force in the global arena. He highlighted China's significant market size, advanced skills, and robust capacity as key drivers behind its ascent.
Mahathir pointed out, \"The world cannot always be dominated by Europeans… to go against China is not something that Southeast Asian countries would like to do, because we find China is useful in many ways.\" He underscored the importance of collaboration and mutual benefits, suggesting that engagement with China offers numerous advantages for Southeast Asian nations.
As global dynamics shift, Mahathir's perspective sheds light on the evolving economic and political landscape, where China plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of Southeast Asia and beyond.
