Since 2006 the Chinese Government seeks to develop an economic corridor that
connects Nanning (Capital of 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 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.
