Abstract:The Malaysia Chinese Association is called the MCA Party or MCA for short. It is the largest Chinese party in the world outside mainland China. With about 1.1 million party members，it has been one of Malaysia’s most important allied members of the ruling party since its founding. Since “The Belt and Road” initiative was proposed in 2013，MCA has responded positively and taken various actions to actively participate in and promote the cooperation between China and Malaysia in 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road cooperation，including building a platform for dialogue through the political party diplomacy，coordinating with different sides actively with its advantages，establishing new party organizations so as to respond to “The Belt and Road” initiative，supporting and hosting various academic discussions and cultural and artistic activities，explaining for the public and guiding the media actively，and even bringing “The Belt and Road” initiative into its party planning and seeking strategic link and so on. As for the reason，on the direct level，it is mainly to win back the confidence of Malaysia Chinese voters and prepare for the next election；while on the fundamental level，it is to safeguard the rights and interests of Malaysia Chinese，the pluralistic，golden mean and secular modern state system of Malaysia and promote the friendly exchanges between China and Malaysia and development of bilateral relations further. In this regard，Chinese should take positive actions to respond and continue to play the leading role of the Malaysia Chinese Association. At the same time，attention should be paid to avoiding the emergence of sensitive issues.
