This is for several reasons, such as the two sides having
developed the necessary channels of communication to handle friction, and that
Malaysia has been the coordinator of the China-ASEAN relationship since last
August.
This is illustrated by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar
Ibrahim taking to using the word "discussion" to replace
"negotiation" with China. While this does not hint at any short or
long term solutions, neither is it a sign of China and Malaysia engaging in a
war of words, let alone their militaries coming to blows.
