Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed has sparked global conversation by declaring that China's rise as a global power “cannot be stopped”. In a world divided over geopolitical shifts, the 97-year-old statesman emphasized China’s unique strengths: a massive consumer market, advanced technological capacity, and growing international influence.
“The world cannot always be dominated by Europeans,” Mahathir noted, adding that Southeast Asian nations see China as a crucial partner for economic growth and development. 🌟 His comments come as ASEAN countries increasingly collaborate with Beijing on infrastructure projects like railways and smart cities.
For young professionals and entrepreneurs, Mahathir’s message is clear: understanding China’s role is key to navigating tomorrow’s economy. With 1.4 billion consumers and cutting-edge innovation in AI and green energy, China’s market is reshaping global trade dynamics – and Southeast Asia is riding the wave. 🌊💡
