Abstract

Based on the intermediate goods trade data between China and the ten ASEAN countries from 2001 to 2022, this paper explores the structural evolution characteristics of the China-ASEAN intermediate goods trade network. The study finds that the network has transformed from a “unipolar core-periphery” model to a “multipolar interdependence-hub symbiosis” model, with increased network density, shortened average distance, and a fluctuating downward trend in the symmetry index affected by external shocks. The pattern of national network centrality has been restructured: China’s core advantages have narrowed, while multiple ASEAN countries have achieved comprehensive improvement in multi-dimensional centrality, becoming key hubs in the regional value chain.
