Analysis on Promoting the Belt and Road International Road Transport for Economic Cooperation and Trade Facilitation in China-ASEAN Area

Abstract

While the COVID-19 pandemic is hammering trade around the world, China and ASEAN have managed to buck the trend with a 5% growth this year, and ASEAN has become China's largest trading partner. International road transport plays an important role in the circulation of goods and people, contributing to the economic growth and trade facilitation in the region. This paper analyzes the international road transport situation in China-ASEAN Area, combs the problems it faced, draws lessons from the EU, and makes suggestions (i.e., strengthen infrastructure construction, expand the scope of international road transport, deepen transportation cooperation among countries, speed up the establishment of coordination mechanism, establish emergency transportation security system) for better China-ASEAN economic and trade cooperation.
