Abstract

China and ASEAN economic cooperation is moving towards green development, with multiple collaborations underway in the construction of new energy infrastructure such as photovoltaic and hydropower. Meanwhile, both sides have introduced various policy measures to promote cooperation in the new energy vehicle industry and the development of carbon assets. Analysis of the characteristics of green economic development in ASEAN countries reveals that Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia have become key partners in building a green cooperation framework between China and ASEAN due to their advantages in economy, institutions, and resources. Additionally, given the distinct characteristics of green economic cooperation between ASEAN countries and China, it is necessary to advance cooperation through complementary industrial chain resources, deepening the concept of green development, and strengthening policy support.
