China has become a primary hub in the production network of the ASEAN+3 region, comprising ASEAN member states plus China, Japan and South Korea, the Singapore-based ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) said Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The past two decades have seen a fundamental structural shift underpinning the region’s resilience, the institute said in its ASEAN+3 Regional Economic Outlook 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“From the supply side, regional production networks have evolved from a Japan-centered hub into a denser, more interconnected architecture anchored by China,” it said, noting that this was supported by China’s expanding manufacturing capacity, logistics infrastructure, and central position in intermediate goods trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These supply linkages reflect interdependence rather than unidirectional dependence,” the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the demand side, ASEAN+3 has emerged as a major source of global final demand, collectively larger than the United States, with intraregional demand now far more significant than two decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This relationship is also two-way: within ASEAN+3, China is the dominant demand hub, while other economies are key sources of final demand for Chinese exports, the report noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, foreign direct investment (FDI) reinforced these links, with rising intraregional FDI complementing trade and production relationships, the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Monday’s release conference, AMRO Chief Economist He Dong told reporters that for supply chains to be resilient, it is important for economies involved to increase domestic-value-added content, meaning larger positive spillovers from FDI into the domestic economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firms in ASEAN can benefit by upgrading local capacity. By increasing domestic value-added, regional firms gain more opportunities and make supply chains more resilient to external shocks, He said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
