China is consolidating economic influence in Southeast Asia by positioning Guangdong as a manufacturing and technology hub integrated with ASEAN's resource extraction and consumer markets. This deepens ASEAN's economic dependence on Chinese supply chains while strengthening China's control over critical mineral processing and clean energy manufacturing. The ASEAN-China Centre's co-sponsorship signals institutional formalization of this relationship.
