Summary/Abstract: China's economic integration with ASEAN countries contributes to mutual economic development and, consequently, a spirit of regional cooperation and iodentity. From onset of 21st century, China endeavors to strenghten its political and economic status in the East Asia through regional trade agreements (RTAs), while at the same time attempting to undermine the bilateral military ties between ASEAN and the US. The region of Southeast Asia is of immense strategic importance of China. The 'good neighbor policy' is one of the most important premises of Chinese diplomacy, focused on improving and strenghtening relations with neighboring countries. This, in turn, is key factor in development of long-term peaceful co-existence in the region - a crucial element of further development and modernization of China. The development of economic relations between China and the ASEAN countries is manifested in the dynamic growth of trade volumes, bilateral capital flows and production networks in East Asia.
