Wise! 97-year-old former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir’s assessment of the China-US relationship

According to foreign media reports, former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir attended a related event in Tokyo recently and gave an interview to reporters, discussing the current China-US relationship.
