In this paper we investigate the index of intra industry trade between Malaysia and China. Our findings indicate that intra industry trade in manufactured goods between both countries is very significant which represent more than 60 percent of the total trade volume. Another analysis has been conducted to examine the share of intra industry trade by orientation. The findings show mixed results between export and domestic oriented products analyzed.
