Abstract:
Over the past ten years China has increased its efforts to develop a closer relationship with Southeast
Asian countries and to take on the dominant leadership role in the region. Trade between China and the
ASEAN member countries has grown dramatically during this period. The treaty negotiated and signed
between China and ASEAN for a free trade area (ACFTA) has contributed to the growth in trade. The
contributions and roles played by the participants to the trade treaty will be examined.
