Malaysia can mediate China-HK conflict
WHILE public attention is focused on racial tensions in the US largely attributed to George Floyd’s untimely death and the government’s inability to control the situation across the country, China is facing a challenge of its own.
Despite the Chinese government consistently promising to uphold the concept of “one country, two systems”, as repeated by Vice-Prime Minister Han Zheng on June 3, the prospect of reduced democracy and Beijing’s perceived intervention in Hong Kong’s administration undermine the region’s peace and harmony.
On the flip side, there is a need to maintain mutual respect and develop positive relations based on an earlier agreement recognising the special arrangements between China and Hong Kong. If need be, Malaysia is one of the best-suited countries to move the Hong Kong-China discussion forward. Being a capable nation with strong East Asian ties in various affairs, including trade relations and sectoral exchanges, our credentials as a key mediator are unparalleled and admired.
