Recently, Malaysian Minister of Defense and Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Tun Hussein invited Japanese experts to join the search of the missing flight MH370 and maintain regional stability during his meeting with the Japanese Minister of Defense Itsunori Onodera. ANBOUND's chief researcher Chan Kung suggests that this action is likely to intensify the strained relations between China and Malaysia due to the MH370 incident and China might further react accordingly.
