The economic exchanges between China and neighboring countries began on the Silk Road in the Qin and Han Dynasties and expanded in the Han Dynasty. The development of the Maritime Silk Road and the Land Silk Road has enabled China to have close ties with neighboring countries. During the Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, we adopted a more enlightened and open ethnic policy, and had more frequent economic exchanges with neighboring countries, such as Japan and North Korea in the east, subordinate countries in the southeast, and exchanges with India's western regions, Central Asia and other countries. Foreign goods continue to flow into China, and China's silk and porcelain goods flow into foreign countries, which is a period of rapid economic development in China. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of them adopted the policy of closing the sea to the outside world. China's economic exchanges with foreign countries have decreased, but the exchanges with neighboring countries have not been interrupted. Since the reform and opening up, China has implemented the national policy of opening to the outside world, and its foreign economic exchanges are in a golden period, and various economic indicators are constantly improving. Joining Southeast Asia Economic Organization and Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and signing many economic cooperation agreements with European countries, especially the emergence of regional economic union and Shanghai Cooperation Organization, have pushed the economic exchanges between China and neighboring countries to a new peak. Major achievements:

First, China's accession to the World Trade Organization is an important measure for China to carry out foreign economic diplomacy. China's formal accession to the WTO marks the great success of China's economic foreign policy, which means that China will develop economic and trade relations with countries and regions that account for more than 90% of the world's economic trade volume, which means that China's growth rate will increase by one percentage point every year, which will also have a far-reaching impact on the development of the global economy.

Second, APEC has become an important stage for China's economic diplomacy. As a cross-regional economic cooperation forum, APEC plays a unique role in promoting regional cooperation mechanisms at different levels, strengthening communication and coordination among member countries, seeking the intersection of interests, and promoting the healthy development of globalization.

Thirdly, China-ASEAN Free Trade Area is the latest attempt of China to carry out economic diplomacy. The establishment of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area will not only strengthen the existing economic cooperation between the two sides, but also help to expand trade and investment between the two sides.

Fourthly, in recent years, China's energy diplomacy in Africa, Central Asia and South America has also been a highlight of China's economic diplomacy.

China's economic and diplomatic achievements are remarkable. The establishment of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area and the negotiation of China-Japan-Korea Free Trade Area are in full swing. In recent years, the cooperation with Myanmar in oil pipeline, the construction of Gwadar port in Pakistan and the cooperation between China and Russia in energy can not be ignored. The two sides of Taiwan Province Strait signed ECFA to ensure win-win economic cooperation. China's economic diplomacy strategy is an important part of China's neighboring diplomacy strategy of promoting friendship and partnership with its neighbors, an important interpretation of China's concept of a harmonious world, and an important means for China to expand its foreign relations on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, which has played a great role in promoting China's reform and opening up, promoting economic construction and industrial structure upgrading, trade liberalization and attracting foreign investment; At the same time, it will play a great role in deepening the interaction and mutual understanding between China and neighboring countries and expanding the international market. It will help to eliminate the worries of neighboring countries about China's economic development and peaceful rise, improve the security environment around China, and also help China to expand its international economic influence and show its international image as a big country. Specific status:

First, with the continuous growth of China's foreign trade volume, China has entered a period of high incidence of international trade friction. This will be an increasingly severe international economic environment for China's economic rise.

Secondly, under the background of the increasing shortage of global resources and the rapid development of China's economy, China's external dependence on energy resources has increased sharply, and it lacks international pricing power in the global resource market, thus falling into a passive situation.

It is no accident that China is facing international economic challenges. It is absolutely strategic for China to gain the "rule-making right" in the international trade market and the global resource market. China has reached a critical period of economic rise and national rejuvenation. In order to achieve a peaceful rise, China's economic diplomacy needs further planning and improvement.
