China-ASEAN economic and digital cooperation

Overview

China and ASEAN nations are seeking to deepen economic integration and upgrade regional cooperation frameworks. Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang has advocated for elevating the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (CAFTA) through the implementation of the CAFTA 3.0 Upgrade Protocol, aiming to improve institutional arrangements and technical standards.

Efforts to expand cooperation are increasingly focused on emerging sectors, including the digital economy, artificial intelligence, and green products and services. Singaporean Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong has supported this direction, suggesting that China and Singapore leverage mutual trust to build regional capabilities within ASEAN. Gan emphasized the importance of AI governance and industrial upgrading while warning against the risks of protectionism and inward-looking economic policies.
