Abstract:

The important role played by neighboring countries has appeared to be more and more significant in our national strategies as Asia-Pacific Region becomes the hot issue in international politics and economy gradually. Neighboring countries are the primary reliance to China in maintaining the rights and interests of sovereignty and exerting international role. China and its surrounding countries are geographically close and associated in culture, sharing lots of consensuses in major national and regional issues. In addition, they enjoy convenient economic cooperation with low cost while enormous potential. China is located at the main channel position linking the coastal and inland areas of Asia-Pacific, and its economic and trade contact with surrounding countries have possessed certain scale earlier. Under the influence of international historic events in recent years, the commodity export of China to its surrounding countries have exhibited relatively complex development trend. Major conclusions are shown as follows: 1) After the global economic crisis, the international trade environment presents the increasingly globalized. The recovery of international economic and trade development is slow. The reform of the international monetary system has appeared. And the global economic centerpiece has been shifted rapidly. 2) Trade combined degree is employed to analyze the trade status of neighboring countries to China. By Geographic concentration analysis, it is shown that there are four characteristics in spatial pattern of export commodities between China and its neighboring countries under the new international trade situation: the gap of export difference becomes significant, the main export commodities appears a high degree of geographic concentration, it obviously revolves around east, north and south regions and radiates along the geo-channel. 3) It is of great significance to predict the development trend of the spatial pattern of export commodities between China and its neighboring countries for the development of Chinese commodity export trade with medium trade scale countries, for weakening the degree of geographical concentration of main export commodities and for increasing share of primary commodities in Chinese exports to ASEAN countries. The employment of geographical thought highlights the primary cause of exhibiting regional characteristics in the trade between China and its surrounding countries, which also embodies the complex influence of multiple geographical relations such as politics, economy and culture to regional trade, which supports the selection of our foreign trade strategy and benefits for China to achieve the target of national security.
