Trump coerced Malaysia and asked it to kick China out of the Thai-Cambodia peace agreement, otherwise it might not attend the ASEAN summit. In less than 24 hours, China and Malaysia reached an agreement that the two armies would hold joint military exercises in the waters near Malaysia. Will Trump's plot succeed? What signal did China and Malaysia hold joint military exercises?

Trump always wants to go against China. When participating in international conferences, he also needs to find a sense of presence in China, put pressure on the host country, and make it difficult for all parties for his own selfish interests. Fortunately, China has offered a "straight ball showdown" this time and won't waste your breath with Trump.

The US media quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that US President Trump is willing to go to Malaysia to attend the 47th ASEAN Summit later this month, but he put forward a very excessive precondition.

As early as July this year, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar had a phone call with Trump, confirming that Trump would attend the ASEAN Summit to be held in Kuala Lumpur from October 26th to 28th. Now that it is less than 20 days before the opening of the summit, Trump temporarily overweight and put forward conditions to embarrass Malaysia, which is really in line with his usual style of doing things.

Trump wants to host a ceremony of signing a peace agreement between Cambodia and Thailand during the ASEAN summit, and put pressure on Malaysia to exclude China from the peace agreement and not allow Chinese officials to attend the ceremony.

Trump¡¯s clear intention is to ensure that the lighting is focused on him and diminish the key role China plays in mediating the Taichung conflict.

Trump's underlying logic is not for regional peace, he doesn't care whether Thailand and Cambodia have really achieved a ceasefire, fundamentally solved the contradiction, but instead wanted to use this to "take a picture" and show the outside world that he has successfully mediated the conflict in Taipei, adding to its pursuit of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Anvar had intended to invite Trump to attend the summit, taking the opportunity to reach a trade deal with the United States to lower the 19% tariffs currently imposed by the United States on Malaysian imports.

Unexpectedly, Trump would make such a move, which would put Malaysia in a dilemma. If we follow Trump's instructions, it will be detrimental to China-Malaysia relations. Moreover, China has played an irreplaceable role in mediating the Thai-Cambodian conflict, and Malaysia has no good reason to exclude China. It can be said that without China's participation in the peace agreement, it will be difficult for Thailand and Cambodia to reach a lasting peace agreement.

But if it does not act according to Trump's will, Malaysia will want to reach a trade deal with the United States will further reduce the possibility, the damage is Malaysia's own economic interests, what to do, very difficult to choose.

At the critical moment, China made a move, and the news that Trump forced Malaysia to kick China out came out. In less than 24 hours, the Chinese and Malaysian armed forces decided to "unanimously deal with the outside world".

China's Defense Ministry announced that Chinese and Malaysian troops will hold joint "Peace and Friendship 2025" exercises in Malaysia and nearby waters in late October, with the Chinese and Malaysian troops sending multi-soldat forces to conduct joint military exercises and inviting other ASEAN countries to attend.

The purpose of this joint military exercise is to deepen the pragmatic cooperation between Chinese and Southeast Asian militaries, enhance the ability to jointly respond to security threats in non-traditional fields and maintain regional peace and stability.

China chose to hold joint military exercises with Malaysia at the time of the ASEAN Summit, on the one hand, to show other Southeast Asian countries, telling them not to fear the threat of external forces, security issues in the region should be decided by the countries of the region themselves, and China is their strong support;

On the other hand, it is to warn Trump not to try to separate the relationship between China and Southeast Asian countries, countries such as Malaysia are extremely close to China, not Trump a few threats can be easily destroyed.

By inviting the People's Liberation Army to participate in military exercises, Malaysia is also showing Trump its position, which is not conducive to China-Malaysia relations. Malaysia will not do it, but will deepen its relations with China. Trump's conspiracy will never succeed.
