Commemorating the 50th anniversary of China-Malaysia diplomatic relations, the micro-documentary series China-Malaysia: Neighbors, Friends, Partners adopts "Diplomats' Perspectives on Chinese Modernization" as its core creative concept. Featuring Fathil Bin Haji Ismail, the Consul General of Malaysia in Nanning, as the central figure, the series comprises six episodes: Journey of Durian, Two Countries Twin Parks, Cultivation of Railway Talents, Badminton: Rivalry and Friendship, Refresh Traditional Medicine, and Gathering. Through compelling visuals and in-depth dialogue, the series offers a panoramic view of landmark achievements in contemporary China-Malaysia pragmatic cooperation. It documents flagship projects such as the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) and the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industry Park (MCKIP), while also showcasing innovative practices in emerging fields like the digital economy and green energy, thereby illustrating the deep integration of the two nations' development strategies. The lens further extends to areas fostering people-to-people bonds, including the transmission of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and joint sports talent development, capturing nuanced moments of cultural exchange and heartwarming details within grassroots interactions. This vividly portrays the time-honored and unbreakable friendship between China and Malaysia.

The series was screened at the Malaysia Pavilion during the 2024 China-ASEAN Expo, reaching 220,000 visitors including international guests, exhibitors, and attendees. On YouTube, it garnered nearly 110,000 views and close to 2,500 likes, resonating deeply with international audiences. One viewer commented under the "A New Initiative of Twin Parks" episode: "Humans are highly social beings; our relationships are built on multi-layered cooperation." Overseas official media and news outlets actively republished and broadcast the content. Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) featured the series as special Chinese New Year programming in 2025, rebroadcasting it in April 2025. Additionally, Media Prima Berhad, Malaysia's most influential media group, aired the full series across its channel 8TV.
