Introduction to the Research on International Industrial Cooperation
China and ASEAN have become each other’s largest trading partner. On November 22, 2021, Chinese President Xi Jinping officially announced the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and ASEAN to build a closer China-ASEAN community of shared future. To enhance Shenzhen University’s ability to serve the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the country’s external strategy, in August 2021, Shenzhen University officially established the Shenzhen University’s Center for ASEAN-Greater Bay Area Studies on the basis of the first professional institute for Singapore studies in China. The Studies Center focuses on academic research in the areas of economy, politics, science and technology, and trade between the Greater Bay Area and ASEAN countries, as well as practical research in the areas of international relations, government dialogue, and industrial and technological cooperation between the Greater Bay Area and ASEAN countries. The Studies Center was approved as “Shenzhen Key Research Base for Humanities and Social Sciences” in December 2021, and Shenzhen University is committed to building the Studies Center into a national high-end think tank serving the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and China’s external strategy.
