Popis: After Anwar Ibrahim assumed office in November 2022, Malaysia’s China policy, including its stance towards the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), was again thrust into the limelight. This paper analyses Malaysia’s responses towards BRI since 2013 and argues that the “shift” is not to abandon its cooperation or adjust its overall foreign policy with China, but to cater for two sets of domestic considerations – the need for development and inter-elite competition, and eventual regime legitimation.
