Xi Jinping, who is visiting Southeast Asia, arrived in Malaysia a few days ago. The Malaysian authorities arranged a ceremony to welcome the visit with great fanfare, and the local Chinese media also tried to please Beijing in a high-profile manner. However, an error occurred in the layout and the incident caused resentment among the Malaysian people. Internet celebrity Huang Mingzhi posted a post reviewing the CCP’s bad past that harmed Malaysia, and bluntly stated that for the Malaysian people, the Beijing authorities are an enemy rather than a friend.
In the evening of 15 April 2025 local time, Xi Jinping arrived in Kuala Lumpur by plane for a state visit to Malaysia. The Malaysian authorities arranged a guard of honor to welcome Xi Jinping and fired a 21-gun salute. Local pro-communist organizations also organized a large number of Chinese to "welcome" him. The Chinese Communist Party’s official media took the opportunity to promote this vigorously, which resulted in resentment and doubts among netizens.
A netizen posted on the social platform Threads: "Right now, China is flooding the country with propaganda about how much Vietnam and Malaysia love China, and how popular Xi Jinping is in both countries. It feels a bit like the small countries in Southeast Asia cheering for the emperor of the Central Dynasty to come. I would like to ask netizens in Vietnam and Malaysia, are the local social media and media in the two countries also showing enthusiasm?"

Other netizens responded with comments: "It was so enthusiastic that something went wrong. The largest local Chinese newspaper in Malaysia even drew the Malaysian flag incorrectly in order to lick the CCP's chops! Then it pushed the news of the former prime minister's death to a corner. Now the Malays are very angry and are ready to investigate to the end. Malaysian Chinese are also scolding them."
Another Malaysian netizen posted, "Our (Malaysian) constitution is anti-communist. I hope other ethnic groups know that there are traitors who have been acting as media to flatter the communists."

Malaysian internet celebrity Namewee criticized the Malaysian authorities for their pro-communist stance in a post on his Facebook account. The post pointed out that the Chinese Communist Party had concealed the covid epidemic, and many people in Malaysia became victims and many people died. The CCP has also committed many crimes that violate human rights.

The article further pointed out that after the US-China trade war in 2018, Malaysia began to rely on China for trade. "China has firmly established itself as the single country with the highest dependence in Malaysia's foreign economic and trade exchanges." At the same time, it also caused a large trade deficit for Malaysia, leading to Malaysia's increasing dependence on Chinese goods. At the end of the article, he mocked the Malaysian authorities' "licking China" behavior, saying, "I am so honored that I am suddenly favored and trusted by my big brother!"
Namewee also pointed out in his post that "Winnie the Pooh (referring to Xi Jinping) is an enemy, not a friend", and bluntly reminded Malaysians that "he (Xi Jinping) is the one who oppresses Uyghur Muslims in China". Uyghurs have been imprisoned, tortured, and even had their organs cruelly taken away in China, and the CCP also "frequently sends warships to invade our waters, with no respect"...
Namewee also commented on the news of the former prime minister's death in another post, saying: "Those who should not leave have left, and those who should not come have come...Rest in peace, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi - the most honest and sincere prime minister in Malaysian history. Thank you for letting us know that politics can also have dignity."
Huang Zhiming's post aroused response and resonance among Malaysian netizens.
