Export competitiveness of China and ASEAN in the U.S. market
Article Abstract:
The US export market has cultivated the strong economic growth of its major exporters, China and the four Assn of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN-4) members, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. China and the ASEAN-4 export primary commodities and high technology manufactures to the US. An analysis of their market share shows that China is poised to overrun the ASEAN-4's US export share. However, this projection will negatively affect their export competitiveness in the US market. Regional cooperation and openness is recommended to fortify their performance in the global market.
