Malaysia's economy could be damaged by the US-China trade war or even become a target for sanctions itself, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir has said. The three biggest markets for Malaysia's export-reliant economy are the US, China and Singapore, and he said his country must create its own world-class companies to compete with rivals. Malaysia is also seeking partnerships within south-east Asia to offset the effect of the trade war.
