| Abstract | In 2002, China and ASEAN signed the << Framework agreement on comprehensive
economic cooperation between ASEAN and P.R.China>> and decided to materialize
China-ASEAN free trade area (CAFTA) in 2010. Yunnan, a southwest province of China,
which located between East Asia and Southeast Asia Subcontinent, borders on 3 ASEAN
member countries-- Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar, is now an area of strategic importance
for China to carry out its frontier opening-up policy. Yunnan's economy will shift its
position from the end to the front of the reform and opening-up. This study attempted to
identify the current situation of bilateral investment between ASEAN and Yunnan and the
prospects to enlarge the investment cooperation.
At first, the study examined the overall status of FDI in ASEAN and Yunnan. Then the
study went to identify their bilateral investment relationship. It is found that ASEAN is an
important investment source for Yunnan, but Yunnan only accounts for a small share of
ASEAN's investment in China. The amount of Yunnan's outward FDI is small due to its
less development but most of them went to Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. Then, through an
assessment of FDI relevant problems of Yunnan province, some bottlenecks which might
constrain Yunnan's fmther FDI attraction are founded. Moreover, the potential and
prospects of enlarging mutual investment of Yunnan and ASEAN are identified. This study
indicates that there is promising prospects for further investment cooperation between
Yunnan and ASEAN. Yunnan will become a lively zone in economic opening-up and
establish closer and closer ties with ASEAN in economy. |
