KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 15): Malaysia has not yet felt the significant impact of the “trade war” between China and the United States, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The Prime Minister said the government is aware that the conflict might affect the country, but it is also being seen as something that can be favourable for Malaysia.

“If there is any impact, we hope it will be the transfer of US investments in China to Malaysia. So, it is possible that we will get some good out of the trade war between China and the United States,” he said in the Dewan Rakyat.

Dr Mahathir was replying to a supplementary question from Tan Sri Annuar Musa (BN-Ketereh) on whether Malaysia was bound by China or the United States or adopts a neutral policy with regard to the trade war.

He asserted that the Pakatan Harapan government had a policy of non-intervention in any kind of war at all.
