Malaysia's leader reportedly says he prefers to side with China rather than 'unpredictable' US
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said he would prefer to take sides with China over the U.S. if his country was forced to take sides in the trade war, the South China Morning Post reported on Friday.
Malaysia has to"accept that China is close to us", he told the SCMP."And it is a huge market. We want to benefit from China's growing wealth." "Well, it depends on how they behave. Currently the U.S. is very unpredictable as to the things they do," Mahathir told the SCMP in an interview in Manila where he was on an official visit.
"With their wealth they are going to be in the same position that the Western countries were in the past," he said.
