Location Choice of the Five Mekong Countries’ Ability to Undertake China’s Industrial Transfer

Abstract

The core of “building a community of destiny of the Mekong countries” is to promote sustainable economic development in the Mekong basin, and a comprehensive understanding of the ability of the five Mekong countries to take over Chinese industries is of great significance to promote Mekong cooperation. The study analyzes the overall take-up capacity of the five Mekong countries by constructing an index system for evaluating the take-up capacity of industries. The study shows that the industrial transfer capacity of the five Lan Mekong countries from 2011 to 2017 shows a stable trend, with Vietnam declining slowly and Laos growing faster, and the industrial transfer capacity of the five countries shows obvious spatial differentiation characteristics.
