Iran and China are opposed to the United States’ so-called unilateralism and are similarly categorized as revisionist states which this common attitude culminated into the signature of the 25-year cooperation agreement in March 2021. But, China prioritizes its national interests defined by economic pragmatism; and its complex economic interdependence with the world economy has made it conservative. The present article analyzes this question of why China has been conservative in shielding Iran against the US’s paralyzing sanctions in Donald Trump’s era. It argues that the Chinese global strategy and its economic pragmatism require it to make compromises with the United States and Arab states alike, and at the same time, to preserve relationships with Iranwith the least political-economic expenses.

As a result, China’s support for the United Nations hasgrown considerably. Today, China is the second largest financial contributorto the organization’s overall budget, and the largest troop contributing countryamong the permanent members of the UN Security Council. This articleexamines China’s engagement within the UN framework and, in particular,why the UN has been chosen by Beijing as one of the key venues throughwhich to flex its diplomatic muscles and strengthen its influence abroad. Toaddress this research question, this article adopts a case study approach thatfocuses on the deployment of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) units formissions relating to counter-piracy and peacekeeping activities.

The emergence of the coronavirus disease in 2019 (Covid-19) and declared a pandemic at the beginning of 2020 has led to an unprecedented economic crisis in Malaysia, as in most other countries. As the number of Covid cases increased after the first case was discovered in January 2020, the government implemented different degrees of Movement Control Orders (MCO) from 18th March till the current day at the point of writing this paper. The lockdown in Malaysia as well as many other countries led to supply and demand shocks, which has in turn affected the country’s cross border trade. Exports dropped continuously in the first five months of 2020 before recovering. The purpose of this article is to identify the key trade partners that contributed towards Malaysia’s export recovery in 2020, especially the role of China given the fact that it is Malaysia’s largest trading partner since 2010. Specifically, it examines how economic recovery in the major trade partners are correlated with Malaysia’s export recovery as well as the causal relationship underpinning the export recovery in 2020. The study shows that trade recovery in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic goes beyond domestic policy and production measures. Economic recovery in partner countries played a role too.  Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource application/pdf Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context https://ejournal.um.edu.my/index.php/IJCS/article/view/36676 Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Institute of China Studies, Universiti Malaya Relation A related resource https://ejournal.um.edu.my/index.php/IJCS/article/view/36676/14517 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Copyright (c) 2021 Institute of China Studies Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHINA STUDIES; International Journal of China Studies Vol.12 No.1 June 2021; 133-155 2180-3250 Subject The topic of the resource trade empirical study of trade international economic order and integration Title A name given to the resource China’s Role in Malaysia’s Export Recovery in Covid Times Type The nature or genre of the resource info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2021-12-31 Description An account of the resource Recent occasional attacks on Chinese entrepreneurs in Zambia, supposedly on grounds that they are expropriating socio-economic opportunities for Zambians, deserve a fresh interrogation of Zambia–China relations. Labourrelated tensions between Chinese employers and their Zambian employees have also ignited violence between the two parties. Opportunistic Zambian politicians have used these tensions to sponsor the narrative that China in general has malevolent designs over Zambia. Due to increasing external debt and general economic difficulties during the tenure of Zambia’s PatrioticFront (PF) government, from 2011 to 2021, desperate Zambians took their frustration out on the increasing numbers of Chinese entrepreneurs who are considered harbingers of Zambia’s external debt crisis and usurpers of Zambia’s sovereignty. Using constructivism as the theoretical framework, the research found that Zambia–China relations are no longer driven by ethical moorings that were typical of the colonial and Cold War eras. Secondly, that China’s identity in Zambia has assumed an ominous dimension with theincreasing number of Chinese migrants whose conduct is at variance with the image that the Chinese government strives to present. Third, that the ineffective governance of the PF leadership threatened to force the country to default on the debt it owes to China and this could have led to China limiting the room for manoeuvre on the part of the Zambian government, thereby justifying the arguments of those who opine that China aims to take over Africa even though ineffective African governments are culpable.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TEE, Chee-Lip NG, Kar-Yee LAW, Chee-Hong Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2022-05-06 Description An account of the resource Malaysia has been experiencing increasing FDI inflows over the past decades with the changing of major contributors. Currently, China is the largest contributor to Malaysia’s net FDI inflows, while its contribution was limited in the past decade. This paper aims to provide additional evidence to the literature of the FDI’s impact on export performance through disaggregating the FDI and utilizing the quarterly data between Q1:2010 and Q1:2018. The empirical results based on the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approachreveal that China’s FDI helps promote Malaysian export activity except for the export of machinery, equipment and parts. The latter is, however, crucial in long-run growth through promoting technology advancement. This implies that China’s FDI inflow to Malaysia has a more significant impact on economic performance in the short run. Therefore, Malaysian policymakers need to provide better incentives to attract higher value-added FDI into the country to benefit in the long run.

While Communist rule reinforced the country’s totalitarian traditions, it hardly hampered the country’s economy. Actually, the opposite happened: totalitarian China engaged in speedy progress and would most likely emerge as a global leader in the foreseeable future.

First, the “island” is the first of five features in the South China Sea occupied by Malaysia. Second, since 1983, by exercising exclusive and effective control over Layang Layang, Malaysia has displayed its sovereignty and jurisdiction over the area. Third, with a Malaysian naval station and airstrip, Layang-Layang is Malaysia’s most valuable strategic asset in the South China Sea. Drawing on archival materials and open sources, this paper traces Malaysia’s policy actions vis-à-vis Pulau Layang-Layang, before unpacking the features and factors underpinning the smaller state’s multipronged approaches towards the South China Sea disputes. We argue that Malaysia’s policies regarding Pulau Layang-Layang and the broader South China Sea issue have been and will continue to be driven by small-state pragmatism to balance national sovereignty and geopolitical reality amid the growing U.S.–China rivalry.

While both the Asian giants seek to avoid war, India and China have sharpened the political rhetoric; meanwhile, troops from both sides continue to be amassed along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The process of disengagement of troops and de-escalation of tensions have worked, albeit limitedly. Furthermore, the growing support of China to Taliban controlled Afghanistan (August 2021), will impact the course of Sino-India relations. The current stand-off betweenIndia and China marks the beginning of a new phase of relations where its repercussions will be felt in their immediate periphery and beyond. This article focuses on the strategic options for India. The transgression of China across the LAC will continue to cast its shadow over the relations between the two Asian giants. The earlier “spirit” and “connect” between the two nations stand broken and mending the same will test the institutions and leadership of both the countries.

As a superpower, China is expected to bear the responsibilities of providing public goods, maintaining stability, and upholding the norms and values that are respected by other states. This paper examines the Chinese attempt to merge as a key player in international affairs and use two case studies of China’s policy towards the South China Sea and its international responses to the Covid-19 pandemic to argue that Beijing has, to some extent, fallen short of the duties of a superpower.
