Since the end of the cold war era in the late 20th century, Malaysia has amended and adjusted its foreign policy and marine strategy. In recent years, Malaysia has revolutionized the concept of maritime security, as well as emphasized on military maritime security as traditional security elements according to the South China Sea marine policy of the neighboring countries, particularly the rapid economic growth of China and ASEAN’s dependence on energy and concern of the maritime energy transport corridors by injecting a lot of new marine security elements. Malaysia also highlighted factors in the new concept of maritime security maritime rights claims, such as China’s economic growth, energy imports, marine safety, which reflected its contradictory mentality towards China’s rising, such as: wishing to strengthen maritime security cooperation with China on the one hand, worrying about China’s military presence in the South China Sea, checking and balancing United States influence. We should study Malaysia marine policy trends and dynamics without delay, adjust Sino-Malaysia’s diplomatic relations, and make efforts to maintain cooperation and mutually beneficial win-win situation in the South China Sea.
