China–Malaysia relations

China–Malaysia relations (simplified Chinese: 中马关系; traditional Chinese: 中馬關係; pinyin: Zhōng mǎ guānxì; Jyutping: Zung1 Maa5 Gwaan1 Hai6; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiong-má Koan-hē; Malay: Hubungan China–Malaysia; Jawi: هوبوڠن چينا–مليسيا) are the bilateral foreign relations between the two countries, China and Malaysia.

China has its embassy in Kuala Lumpur, and consulate-general offices in George Town, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching. Malaysia maintains its embassy in Beijing, as well as consulate offices in Kunming, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Xi'an and Hong Kong. The two countries are also bounded by the historical presence of Chinese people in Malaysia, which is currently the second largest Chinese diaspora around the world.

Both countries are claimants in the South China Sea dispute and in recent times has resulted in some friction, mainly from Malaysia. A 2014 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center showed 66% of Malaysians were concerned that territorial disputes between China and neighbouring countries could lead to a military conflict. However, on the economic side, a 2017 survey conducted by Merdeka Center revealed 70% of Malaysians supported China's presence and investment in the country. In a 2019 survey done by Ipsos, around 74 percent of respondents in Malaysia perceived that China would be a positive influence on world affairs over the next decade.

On a visit to China in November 2016, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak, announced ties between the two countries are "set to reach new highs" after the two countries signed a series of agreements on energy and defence. This included the signing of 14 agreements worth US$34.7 million.
