I see why a Chinese newspaper would try push against any tax against cheap imported goods into any country.

I see no problem with this - its ~1.2 years of inflation ontop of cheap imports like Temu and Ali Express out of China to try keep international manufacturers competitive. If you can't afford underwear because its no longer make by exploitive means so be it.

What's more funny is Malaysian already enjoy the lower price of imported goods and it directly harm the local merchant and also one of the many cause of currency depreciation, but netizen rather enjoy a low price now.
