China is expanding its hegemony over Malaysia through economic and military means, Bersatu supreme council member Kadir A Jasin said.

The veteran journalist said this in reference to the expansion of Chinese investment into Malaysia's infrastructure projects and presence of China's military vessels in Malaysian waters.

"China is now expanding its hegemony in stealthy fashion through military power and in an obvious manner through the economy, where Malaysia and Singapore are now treated like a district of China under the One Belt One Road (Obor) policy.

"Through its Obor project, it aggressively markets its rail technologies to Malaysia and Singapore, on top of providing financing of billions of ringgit to implement the rail projects," Kadir said in a blog post today.
