description The China-Malaysia maritime economic and trade relationship has a long history. Since then, Malaysia had joined the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road Initiative and has developed close ties with China in terms of trade, regional development, and civil relations. "The Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) initiated by China in 2013 has created different patterns of mutual trust in Malaysia's development landscape and has fostered closer regional cooperation in terms of maritime development. The Guanxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone, China, and the East Coast Economic Zone, Malaysia as an important economic development zone of the two countries of the maritime trade, has very large location advantages and geographic advantages but lacking in terms of research. Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap by analyzing the ongoing cooperation between the two economic zones and China since the signing of the BRI.
