Abstract
When being confront with the trend of East Asian integration, multifaceted cooperation among neighboring countries, and the signing of bilateral or multilateral free trade agreements(FTAs) within East Asia region, Taiwan is excluded from participating in international affairs due to “One China Policy”. Therefore, Proposing of “Diplomatic truce” or “Flexible Diplomacy” and signing of “Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement(ECFA)” with China from Ma administrations are overcoming the regionally diplomatic predicaments, so as to build the economically interacted bridge with neighboring countries, especially the ASEAN (The Association of Southeast Asian Nations).
For the past two decades, China and ASEAN had reached a great deal of agreements, such as “the Framework Agreement on China-ASEAN Comprehensive Economic Co-operation Area”, “Instrument of Extension of the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia to China” and so on. Especially in 2010, the “ASEAN - China Free Trade Area” was fully carried out, representing a meaningful milestone for ASEAN – China relation. However, Comprehensive cooperation contains several sub-regional collaborations within Southeast Asia region, inclusive of Greater Mekong Subregion and Pan-Beibu Gulf Subregion. Those two subregions have made great progress in those years, effectively integrating states in reaching multiple agreements to a much closer cooperation.
The papers will look into the essences and contents of all those subregional cooperation between China and ASEAN, including three parts. That is, background of cooperation, contents of cooperation and effects of cooperation. Firstly, introduce the background factors of affecting China and ASEAN to get a closer interacted relation. Secondly, induce existing China and ASEAN cooperative institutions, attempting to gerenalize characteristics of cooperation and construct a interactual model. Finally, infer potential effects on East Asia region, internal China and Taiwan. Therefore, deduce probable obstacles and difficulties that China and ASEAN will encounter in the future and bring up proper suggestion for Taiwan to overcome regionally diplomatic predicaments.
