China has its embassy in Kuala Lumpur, and consulate-general offices in George Town, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.[1] Malaysia maintains its embassy in Beijing, as well as consulate offices in Kunming, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Xi'an and Hong Kong.[2] 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.[3]
Both countries are claimants in the South China Sea dispute and in recent times has resulted in some friction, mainly from Malaysia.[4]
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.[5] This included the signing of 14 agreements worth US$34.7 million.[6]
