In the first 10 months of 2010, the trade volume between the two countries reached 95 million U.S. dollars.

In an interview with a media group of Malawi journalists interviewed by the Ministry of Commerce, officials of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce stated that due to the growth of Malawi’s cotton exports, the trade volume between China and Malaysia has grown rapidly since the establishment of diplomatic relations. Among them, the trade volume between China and Malaysia in the first 10 months of 2010 has reached 95 million U.S. dollars, and bilateral trade volume between the two countries is expected to exceed 100 million U.S. dollars in 2010.

In addition, Chinese companies have also made new investments in Malaysia. According to statistics, from January to September 2010, Chinese companies invested 15 million U.S. dollars in Malaysia, and this is only the amount of investment that has been recorded by the Ministry of Commerce. Many other companies also registered with the Ministry of Commerce when they invested in Malaysia. The Barakka Cotton Project invested by Chinese companies in Malaysia is a model of this project. The project strongly supports Malawi's cotton exports to China and has benefited more than 100,000 rural households in Malaysia and has created thousands of additional jobs. opportunity.

The Chinese government has also made great efforts to balance the trade volume between the two countries and promised to purchase from Malawi for three consecutive years starting from 2008. The number should not be less than 2,000 tons per year. At present, the Chinese government has fulfilled its promise. Traditionally, Chinese consumers prefer **, so the market has little demand for Malawi’s main production. If Malaysia wishes to expand exports, it may need more relevant promotion work in China.

Looking ahead, Malawi should seize the opportunity of China's cotton demand boom to expand its exports of cotton and related products to China. In addition, the two countries can also carry out further investment cooperation in mineral and energy fields, especially the exploration of ore and titanium mines.
