As geopolitical tensions simmer and global economies navigate uneven recovery, China and ASEAN are doubling down on their partnership. This month marks two years since the two sides upgraded ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership, rooted in centuries-old cultural bonds and a shared vision for stability.
But what does this partnership mean for the region’s future? A recent panel hosted by CGTN, featuring scholars from China and ASEAN nations, explored how collaboration can tackle pressing challenges like:
Boosting green energy initiatives
Strengthening food security networks
Advancing tech and digital innovation
One expert highlighted ASEAN’s role as the Chinese mainland’s top trading partner since 2020, noting that \"economic resilience starts with trust.\" Another emphasized cultural exchanges, from pop music fusion to heritage preservation projects, as key to deepening ties.
With youth-driven initiatives and cross-border startups gaining momentum, the message is clear: Cooperation isn’t just policy—it’s progress.
Boosting green energy initiatives
Strengthening food security networks
Advancing tech and digital innovation
