Nothing much could be materialized from the "deal" of Cambodia / Malaysia and the US regarding anything within the deal.
The deal is not even an agreement, it's a framework that need to be worked out and the timeline of work out is not meet, the conditions are to respect US commercial judgement and local laws which is bogus like a double tongue.
Trump wants a quick win, both Cambodia and Malaysia know this, they agree to something akin to an MoU to satisfy the ego of Trump for some real benefit. And to satisfy US media
A few days later there is China - Asean free trade agreement v3, this one is a real deal

Nah, China isn’t going to say shit to them. The days of China trying to help the west learn the error of its ways are over. China has concluded that the west cannot be made to see sense with just words, it’s only when they feel real, bone-deep pain that they finally want to learn.

Thing is that’s not just idle capacity sitting there doing nothing at present that they can easily redirect. The lion share of that capacity would be already booking and working or those packaging firms are doing a terrible job of trying to stay in business, never mind make a profit.
There is only one place on earth that can rapidly spin up additional packaging capacity to take on the massive amount of demand this might generate, and that’s precisely the country the European fools have just pissed off by trying to rob it of one of its companies that started this whole cycle of events.
If the Koreans were not aware, this treatment is typical of a white supremacist world order as envisioned by the Anglo five eyes. It’s on
This along with Amazon…
are the U.S. ruling class hoping all of those unemployed will join the military for their desired war to “reset the board”? I don’t know but I wouldn’t put it past them if it was also a case of careless money grubbing typical of a mercantilist state.
When dealing with smaller countries. One should not expect too much loyalty. Most of these countries practice Western-style electoral democracy, so expect their foreign policy to flip flop whenever there is a leadership change. It doesn't help that the US is also busy meddling in the information and politics in these countries. So expect stupid things to happen once in awhile.
Malaysia is China-friendly as long as the current Anwar-led government is in charge. They are pragmatic. They know how to butter the Americans when Trump is here. They won't go too far with America's anti-China agenda.
However the Anwar government is not likely retain power in the next general elections. Because the youths of the Malay majority want a Malay supremacist leader. They generally don't like China, but they dislike the Israelis and Americans even more. In addition, too many urban non-Malays are eating the NED bullshit in the media. So the future is not certain.
What China is doing right now is he right thing. They focus on business, and don't get overly emotional over every minor issue. Unless off course, that nation crosses non-negotiable red lines. However China had proven to be patient. It won't instantly react to negative actions by minor countries until a certain pattern of hostility develops. China doesn't flip flop or go crazy like Trump or India. That is why it can sustain business relationships much better than them.
the sheer stupidity of some people. Maybe this way this colonial mindset can finally die a painful death. Europe is going to be toast and soon the USA with its stupid shut down is going to be equally toast if not more
