Abstract

Geopolitics is an important perspective for analyzing international relations. With the development of globalization, traditional geopolitics gradually recovered and developed into global geopolitics. From the perspective of global geopolitics, the geopolitics of China's surrounding areas have undergone great changes since the 1990s. The new geopolitical situation requires China's diplomacy to make corresponding adjustments to meet the needs of the new situation. With the deepening of the “Belt and Road” construction, Southeast Asia is an important part of China's surrounding environment, and its geographical location is important, and it is a key area and direction of China's economic strategy. Therefore, the geopolitical and economic relationship between China and Southeast Asia has increasingly become one of the focuses of China's foreign relations. Vietnam is also one of the key countries in Southeast Asia. Therefore, this article analyzes the strategic choices of the geopolitical and economic relations between China and Southeast Asia based on the study of the development process of the geo-economic relationship between China and Southeast Asia, and will take Vietnam as a case study.
