June 25 (Reuters) - Chinese executives have been meeting top Malaysian officials to seek assurances they can avoid US tariffs if they relocate battery, medical devices and semiconductor manufacturing to the country, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
The companies have asked Malaysian ministers and senior government officials to lobby against US imposing tariffs on products made or assembled in Malaysia by Chinese groups, the report said citing three people familiar with the matter.
