Since the reform and opening up, China has sought cooperation opportunities with all countries in the world and established good trade partnerships with all countries in the world. The ten ASEAN countries are as close as lips and teeth to China or face each other across water. Naturally, they are also important objects of China's cooperation with them. From the opening of dialogue between China and ASEAN in 1991 to the signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) in 2020, the economic and trade cooperation between China and ASEAN over the past 30 years has added unprecedented vitality to the economy of the region.
