Abstract

The implementation of CAFTA (China ASEAN Free Trade Agreement) in January 2010 marked an important milestone in relations of China and ASEAN member states. This specific agreement built on and extended the growing economic relationships between the two sides. However it also caused concern for United States influence in the region. The economic relations of both sides have been talked about from various angles at many occasions and conferences worldwide but how China and ASEAN economic terms are influencing United States influence in the region in the present times have rarely been discussed. This research focuses on the growing China- ASEAN economic relationship over the past decade and a half, especially under CAFTA umbrella, observes some of the major areas of this relationship, and considers the implications for U.S. interests in the region. The vastly growing economic relations of China ASEAN did create concerns for United States initially. The observant war on terror has got United States more involved with neighbouring regions of ASEAN and China i-e Afghanistan and Iraq. But since United States is refocusing on this region with its new strategies and engagement, it is proved that it has not lost its influence in the region which it was losing especially right after the 9/11 incident. At the same time, it is proved as well that China is constantly gaining importance in the region especially after the implementation of CAFTA.
