Problems in the development of trade between China and Southeast Asia

1. Unbalanced trade development

From the perspective of the development of the my country-ASEAN Free Trade Area, Southeast Asian countries and their partner my country have always maintained a good cooperation environment. But in fact, in the process of trade development, my country and Southeast Asian countries still have various obstacles. my country and Southeast Asian countries are not the most important economic and trade partners for both sides, and both are relatively strong competitors in many development fields. During the ten years of development, Southeast Asia has had frequent trade links with my country, but Southeast Asia only accounts for one tenth of my country's trade volume, and the trade volume needs to be further improved. In the development of trade between my country and Southeast Asian countries, re-export trade is a relatively large-scale trade among them, and Singapore is its main partner of cooperation. In addition, there are also many problems in my country's trade with Southeast Asia. For example, on the one hand, there is the problem of uneven development, and on the other hand, the deficit is constantly expanding. Since 2005, the export volume of Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia with our country has been about US$25 billion less than the import volume. Therefore, the development of my country and Southeast Asian countries needs to be further improved and developed.

2. Fierce competition in the product export market

my country’s exports are dominated by labor-intensive products. Similarly, Southeast Asian countries are no exception. They also export labor-intensive products. Therefore, the similarities between the two export products are very high. This undoubtedly brings us and Southeast Asian countries. huge challenge. Judging from this international situation, my country's export market will face severe challenges from Southeast Asian countries for a long time to come. Investigating the reasons, my country and Southeast Asian countries have great similarities in terms of natural environment, geographical location, production conditions, and technological level. Both parties make use of the core competitiveness of their own development or some other factors. In the process of industrial production and product export, labor-intensive industries are not only the main part, but also export resource-intensive products. The proportion, which leads to the similarity of exports. In the international division of labor, my country and Southeast Asian countries are in many similar fields, and the two are also relatively similar. Japan, the United States and the European Union are their main export countries. Products are similar in national markets, and export commodities have overlap. This gives importing countries a lot of choice, and virtually brings export competition and challenges to our country.

3. The influence of political systems and their own conditions in Southeast Asian countries

The political systems and economic development levels of Southeast Asian countries are very different from my country in various aspects. In order to better carry out trade cooperation, it is necessary to conduct different negotiations on the specific conditions of economic and trade cooperation in different countries, so as to bring benefits to the cooperation between the two parties. In Southeast Asian countries, the historical origins of their countries' development are different. In the process of development between our country and Southeast Asian countries, some problems will inevitably be brought to our country. my country needs to take different measures to deal with the different systems of Southeast Asian countries, which will have different impacts on each other. In the internal situation of Southeast Asian countries, their contradictory relations are intricate, and their cooperative relations with the outside world need to be improved. The internal common goals lack the leadership and guidance of leaders. Therefore, the development of Southeast Asian countries is relatively slow, and they need to continuously strengthen internal cooperation and external cooperation. Contact and learn from each other to achieve a win-win situation.

4. Intervention by developed countries such as the United States and Japan

Judging from the amount of trade transactions in the past, Southeast Asia’s main trading partners are still developed countries such as the United States and Japan. Compared with my country, the total trade volume is far greater than that of my country. However, in recent years, my country's exports to Southeast Asian countries have continued to increase. In the international market, there is no doubt that it will compete with developed countries such as the United States and Japan. my country's increasingly stronger cooperative relations with Southeast Asia and closer exchanges have made the United States restless and feel a great sense of crisis. In February 2002, the US "ASEAN Trade Advisory Council" requested the Bush administration to resolutely prevent the establishment of the my country-ASEAN Free Trade Area. Its purpose was to prevent the development of my country and Southeast Asian countries and to confront my country. As an economic power, Japan has played an irreplaceable leadership role in the process of economic integration. Faced with the increasingly friendly and developing relations between my country and Southeast Asian countries, the country’s competitiveness in the international arena has been continuously strengthened, which has brought severe blows to Japan. Therefore, Japan and the United States will not be willing to take the limelight so easily. In the future In the development process, it will definitely intervene and intervene. In 2015, the U.S. signed a Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TTP) with a series of countries in the Pacific Rim. Among them, Singapore, Vietnam, and Malaysia, among the Southeast Asian countries that have relatively close trade relations with my country, have joined them. The impact of trade exchanges.
