CAFTA于2001年正式启动以来，在促进东南亚国家和地区的贸易与经济发展方面发挥了积极作用。2010年1月中国与东盟六国建成了自由贸易区(6+1)，到2015年，中国将与东盟的另外四个成员国建成自由贸易区(10+1)。中国与东盟的货物贸易出现大幅增长，2011年上半年也比2010年同期有所增长。通过对广东省进出口优势和非优势产业的分析，探讨了中国—东盟自贸区建成一年来面临的问题和挑战，提出了广东企业加强与东盟企业合作的途径设想：优势产业应采取增长型战略，加大产品占领市场的份额；非优势产业可根据情况采取增长型战略或稳定型战略；属于现金牛型的优势产业宜采取稳定型战略。此外，政府要创造更多与东盟国家合作的渠道、有效整合和综合运用民间资本的力量，向东盟扩展广东文化产业链，通过重大项目深化与东盟国家的合作，加强与邻省合作，拓展东盟市场等。
Since CAFTA formally got in gear in 2001,it has been playing positive roles for promoting the trading and economic development of Southeast Asian nations and areas.In January,2010,China established a Free Trade Area with 6 countries of ASEAN (6+1),and up to 2015,China will found the Free Trade Area with the other four countries of ASEAN (10+1).The cargo trade between China and ASEAN has been increasing greatly,and even in the first half of 2011 it was increased to some extent than that in 2010.By means of the analysis on Guangdong's export and import competitive and non-compatitive industries,the article explores the issues and challenges since the one year foundation of CAFTA,and proposes some assumptions for Guangdong's enterprises to strengthen the cooperation with the ASEAN enterprises:the competivive industries should adopt the growth strategy so as to amplify the portions of their products in the markets;the non-competitive industries could adopt either growth or stability strategy in accordance with their own circumstances;and the most competitive industries would adopt the stability strategy.In addition,the government should open up more channels to cooperate with the ASEAN countries,to effectively integrate and comprehensively employ the private capitals,to expand Guangdong's chains of cultural industries to ASEAN countries,to deepen the cooperation with ASEAN countries through some large and important projects and to strengthen the cooperation with the neighboring provinces and districts and to extend the ASEAN markets and so on.
