China’s Xi continues charm offensive in Southeast Asia • FRANCE 24 English
After Vietnam, China’s President Xi Jinping has arrived in Malaysia. Unlike Vietnam, which trades more with the United States than with China, Malaysia has kept China as its top trading partner for 16 years. During the visit, Xi is also expected to discuss a free trade agreement between China and ASEAN, as Malaysia is currently chair of the regional bloc. Meanwhile, as the trade war with the US escalates, Beijing has reportedly ordered its largest airlines to halt further deliveries of Boeing jets.

The still shot was taken when President Xi bends forward a little to accept a bouquet of flowers from a small boy. France 24 intentionally use this shot to steer the viewers imagination, you people stoop quite low.
China is winning friends and the USA is making enemies, who is the smart one here?
It's not offensive. China couldn't interact with Asian neighbors during the Western colonial era. So this is normal and much needed development.
How can Trump accuses China of reneging on a sale agreement? Trump himself reneged on open trade agreement with all countries, including the penguins.
🇨🇦 We should kick out GM and Ford and welcome BYD EV manufacturing in Ontario.❤
Where’s Macron? I guess he’s busy spraying Lancôme perfume on his body. He doesn’t even know where’s Vietnam, the former colony of the Mother France … I think he should come & see “the small Paris in Hanoi” for once in his life. With ❤ to Paris from Hanoi.
Malaysia and China have been bonding since the era of the Empire of the Malacca Sultanate under King Parameswara and the Chinese Empire of Ming under Emperor Yongle. And this diplomatic relationship has been in place since 500 years ago. Even the United States of America does not exist yet.
More than 2 decades of breaking WTO rules, no one is fooled by Xi's "charm offensive"
Vietnam is so adept in playing both sides to their own benefit, they're making Philippine officials like toddlers.
Using this cover picture has ulterior motives，Anti-China sentiment reaches crazy levels.Shame on you.
🤣This drama is so funny ….
Emerican account for only ~4% of w0rld p0pu1ation .
why the96% need to f0110w ?
Democracy ?
180 Boeings cancelled wow
Charm offensive? Couldn't find any better words?
Japan at least now is able to restraint a US company..hope they could stand up and fight and not willingly follow US
The US is hated all over the world thanks to Trump administration
In the long history before the United States appeared, China's Ming Dynasty had already established a good trade partnership with Malaysia. Now they are just further leveraging their respective geographical and resource advantages to develop a win-win business relationship. Maybe there are some disputes between the two sides over maritime interests, but this is not beyond negotiation and resolution. I believe the future of the two countries will be better. Come on, Malaysia!
China does not consume enough ? They registered 27M new cars per year, while the US registered 15M. In 2024 the US bought virtual no Chinese cars. Most Chinese OEM cars were bought locally by the Chinese.
China is losing 😂! Seeking for the new ways out??? 😢
Asia Pacific is a peaceful region.
may China bring prosperity to the world.
Malaysia will do what is best for its country, and also for the ASEAN region, if allowed.
Charm offensive? I don't think charm has anything to do with this…. Xi is doing what true leaders should and are doing… Being on the ground meeting stakeholders and establishing new business opportunities while reviewing current ones.
airbus is much safer than Boeing anyway.
vietnam,cambodia and malaysia is china's largest trading parteners in S.E.asia while indonesia's economys solely depends on china's economy.
Malaysia is indeed a very blessed land, strategically located in between 2 large economies of Asia and geographically well guarded against natural calamities with a well balanced mixed population of the indigenous people of the land, the Malays of the archipelago, the Chinese of the East, and the Indians of the South, making it Truly Asia.
Great to see CHINA making friends and with Asian countries, as the Chinese say " it is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy " GO CHINA MALASIA VIETNAM
China halt Boeing order so Airbus is the winner right 😅 so please add more investment in Malaysia because we also among biggest Airbus customer in Asia and don't like Boeing buy Spirit AeroSystem in Malaysia..
This tour is the ASEAN tour he always does 🙄 nothing to do with the US
🤔Take LESSONS EU 🤨
Bye bye US.
Bye bye Dollar.
Offensive?
trump playing tough with xi.. then he called xi first to ask xi to call him back… haha i think that was funny!!
Two countries that are not far apart and have been doing trade for a long time, negotiating because a lunatic set the world commerce on fire: CHARM OFFENSIVE.
Everything that China does is labelled as a tactic or a great plane, spying, and dominance. They are just negotiating among themselves because the US pushed it. Lean back…
