Liew Chin Tong
China should free itself of ‘zero-sum thinking’ and help create new rules for a multipolar world
Beijing shouldn’t use the China-US binary to define the world but instead forge ties with other Asian nations without behaving like a big power or causing anxiety among smaller neighbours
Many Asian countries want China to treat them as brothers and sisters who share a common identity and similar security concerns, Malaysia’s Deputy Defence Minister Liew Chin Tong says
Liew Chin Tong was Malaysia's Deputy Defence Minister from July 2018 to February 2020. He is a member of the Democratic Action Party's Central Executive Committee.
