China said Tuesday that Malaysia should handle any problems it has with multibillion-dollar Chinese-backed infrastructure projects through talks, a day after the Southeast Asian country’s leader told the Associated Press his government wants to cancel such deals. In the interview, Mahatir said Malaysia is looking to cancel multibillion-dollar Chinese-backed infrastructure projects signed by the previous scandal-tainted government as it digs itself out of debt. He is scheduled to visit China on a five-day trip starting from this Friday and will meet Chinese Premier Li Keqiang as well as President Xi Jinping, China’s Foreign Ministry said on Monday.
