Political-Economic Cognition of China; a Geopolitical Power in Southeast Asia

The economic growth and development of Asian countries, which began in the late 1970s were so rapid, so that at the end of the 20th century, in addition to Japan as the Asian economic giant, several other Asian countries, including China and India, were among the major economies. It can be said the most important factor influencing the rise of Asian countries and their position among the great powers has been significant economic growth and development. The emergence of China as the center of a new geostrategic region is related not only to the weak US and Russian influence in the West and North Pacific but also to changes in China itself and its politico-economic environment. The purpose of this descriptive-analytical study was to study the political-economic environment of China by relying on the method of interpreting the research background to understand the geopolitical situation in Southeast Asia. Data were collected using a search of library resources and research background.

In today's Chinese society, economic, political, and social stability is paramount among the public and the country's political elite. The reforms were not aimed at disrupting the existing political order, but at increasing the role of the law, gradually expanding participation, and establishing a system of formal control and supervision. The result of these reforms is the expansion of accountability to the people, transparency, and confidence-building. China's cultural structure also plays an important role in the development and strengthening of its domestic and international power in the flourishing of its capabilities.
