摘要

Since the official establishment of the China–Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN) dialog 31 years ago, the relationship between China and ASEAN has achieved fruitful results. The establishment of the China–ASEAN Comprehensive Strategic Partnership comes in a timely manner. Within this partnership, both China and ASEAN will face opportunities and challenges. Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, public health governance, and the Belt and Road Initiative are important directions for cooperation between China and ASEAN in this new stage, and they are priorities for deepening the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two entities. Changes in the international situation,the interference of states outside the region, and the idea of vaccine diplomacy, together with other propaganda that stigmatizes China, have led to a certain negative impact on China–ASEAN relations. On the whole,China–ASEAN relations are a model of regional cooperation for East Asia,showing strong vitality and development potential. Promoting regional cooperation through openness and inclusiveness, handling regional affairs through building consensus, and properly resolving differences by seeking common ground while shelving differences remain the guiding principles of China–ASEAN cooperation diplomacy.
