Since 2006 the Chinese Government seeks to develop an economic
corridor that connects Nanning (Capital of the Guanxi Province)
with Singapore.
The Nanning (China)-Singapore Economic Corridor together with the China-ASEAN
Free Trade Area could become the pillars of China-ASEAN cooperation under a strategy called "One Axis, Two Wings" whose objective is to achieve the economic integration between China and the ASEAN.
Seven of the eleven countries in the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area are
located in the Nanning (China)-Singapore Economic Corridor: China, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Indonesia, the Philippines, Brunei, and Myanmar are not located directly in the area of influence of the Nanning (China)-Singapore
Economic Corridor, but they may gain significant advantages.
It is also known as the Indochina-China Peninsula Economic Corridor (CICPEC)
The Nanning (China)-Singapore Economic Corridor is included in the New Silk
Road.
