The People's Republic of China (PRC) and Malaysia established diplomatic relations in May 1974. The PRC has its embassy in Kuala Lumpur, and consulate-general offices in George Town, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching and Singapore. Malaysia maintains its embassy in Beijing, as well as consulate offices in Kunming, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Xi'an and Hong Kong. The two countries are also bounded by the historical presence of Chinese people in Malaysia, which is currently the second largest Chinese diaspora around the world. Both countries are claimants in the South China Sea dispute and in recent times has resulted in friction.
