Malaysian Chinese are split into Chinese shills (who are passionate about China, and support China'a "not one less" claims) and the more rational Chinese, except that the rational are barely visible because they are not newsmakers.

“Mǎláixīyàrén yǒu Zhōnghuájiāo (fēicháng rè'ài Zhōngguó, yīdiǎn dōu bùnéng shào) hé yīqún bǐjiào lǐzhì de Huárén, chābié zàiyú lǐzhì de rén tōngcháng dōu bù tài huì kàndào, yīnwèi gēnběn méiyǒu shénme xīnwén jiàzhí.”
