JOHOR BARU, June 13 — Johor International Trade, Investment and Utility Committee chairman Jimmy Puah Wee Tse today said the state aims to be China’s investment destination of choice in the manufacturing sector by the end of this year following an ongoing trade war between the United States and China
“We are trying to close several deals for now. I believe at the end of this year we will see the outcome,” said Puah at the Johor Baru Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry office in Taman Tasek here today. “In fact, during the visits, we had a dialogue with about 200 entrepreneurs and companies to explain that Johor is one of the best destinations for investments,” he said.
He added that the trade war was one of the main factors that companies in China want to mitigate their risk.
