The central status of ASEAN is an important symbol of the process of East Asia regional cooperation in recent years。China and ASEAN have profound common interests in regional cooperation，A broad consensus has also been established。The survival of ASEAN’s central status is conducive to China’s continued promotion of strategic cooperation with the ASEAN Community，It is also beneficial to the East Asian regional governance process and the development of the world's multi-polar trend。Grasp the structure and characteristics of the current bet365 premier league odds，It is helpful to observe the dynamic changes in ASEAN’s internal and external relations and understand the development environment ASEAN is in and the challenges it faces，In order to more comprehensively grasp the role and value of ASEAN in regional cooperation。

　The composition of the bet365 premier league odds

The relationship network in which ASEAN exists can be examined from the following three dimensions: ASEAN’s internal relationship network，East Asia regional cooperation network centered on ASEAN，And the ASEAN composite relationship network composed of the two。These three dimensions are from the inside to the outside，Together they constitute the bet365 premier league odds structure from part to whole。

The first dimension is the intra-bet365 premier league odds，Currently consists of the ten ASEAN countries and their relationships。After completion of East Timor’s accession process，The network will add a node，The entire network structure will also change accordingly。The second dimension is the East Asian regional cooperation network，The affiliated network composed of the East Asia regional cooperation mechanism and its members。In the East Asian regional cooperation architecture，ASEAN as the only non-state actor，Represents the common position and interests of ASEAN countries。The third dimension is a composite network composed of the first two networks。This composite network includes countries within ASEAN and countries outside the region that have real influence in the East Asia region，Based on the relationship between ASEAN countries and countries outside the region，Be able to understand the ASEAN countries that play a leading role in each specific area of ​​cooperation，It can also clarify the impact of countries outside the region on ASEAN countries and the whole。

　　Characteristics of bet365 premier league odds

The three dimensions of the bet365 premier league odds comprehensively reflect the current structural characteristics of the network，Mainly manifested as composite、Multi-dimensional linkage、Asymmetry and Gnodiness。

First，Complexity。The complex nature of the bet365 premier league odds is reflected in the fact that it includes both the internal network composed of ASEAN countries，Also includes the East Asian regional cooperation network in which it is located。On the one hand，The interaction and relationship level among ASEAN countries determines the degree of integration and internal cohesion of the ASEAN community。On the other hand，The level of interaction and relationship between subjects continues to shape the East Asian regional cooperation network，Influencing ASEAN’s positioning in the network。Under composite network，The relationship between ASEAN countries and countries inside and outside East Asia also plays a role in ASEAN’s potential in regional cooperation。

Second，Multi-dimensional linkage。The bet365 premier league odds is multi-dimensional and interconnected，Various subjects in politics、Economy、Interactions in security and other fields fundamentally determine the level of relationships between subjects，There are large differences in the level of cooperation in different fields。Although the rapid advancement of regional economic integration in recent years has shown the strong willingness and determination of East Asian countries to strengthen economic cooperation，It has also raised the economic relations between countries to an unprecedented level，However, differences and contradictions in the political and security fields have always been the "biggest in the development of regional cooperation in East Asia.、The most enduring difficulty”。The fundamental reason for this characteristic lies in the game of power and interests among various subjects inside and outside the domain，It also exposed the limitations of ASEAN’s effectiveness in specific areas of cooperation。

　Third，Asymmetry。Due to the certain gap between material power and relational power，The cooperative relationship between subjects is often asymmetric。For bet365 premier league odds，This asymmetric relationship makes the choice of cooperation issues、It is easy to fall into passivity in advancing the process and grasping the results。At the same time，bet365 premier league odds countries’ dependence on major powers in the security and economic fields has added to the sensitivity and vulnerability of bet365 premier league odds’s cooperative relations with external parties，You may be caught in the dilemma of “choosing a side”。

　Fourth，Gnodularity。The bet365 premier league odds includes multiple sovereign countries inside and outside East Asia，Also includes ASEAN as a regional organization；covers most actors within the geographical scope of East Asia，Australia too、New Zealand、India、United States、Russia and other foreign countries。In the political system、Religious beliefs、Social and cultural aspects，Also compatible with socialism and capitalism、Christianity and Buddhism、Complex and diverse factors such as Eastern culture and Western culture。The diversity of entities and the multi-node nature of the network have set up many obstacles to regional cooperation，But as the degree of interdependence between subjects deepens，Various heterogeneous characteristics may burst out new momentum in the cooperation process，Thus strengthening the entire cooperation network。

　　The survival of bet365 premier league odds centrality

bet365 premier league odds’s centrality has always been bet365 premier league odds’s goal and principle in regional integration and regional cooperation，Internal and external strategies affecting bet365 premier league odds。From the connotation，The centrality of bet365 premier league odds includes two aspects: internal and external: first, as a cooperative organization of Southeast Asian countries，bet365 premier league odds plays a core role in regional integration and community building。In terms of external relations，Member members are bet365 premier league odds-centric，In solidarity、On the basis of common progress，Coordinate and work toward a common position and common actions。For bet365 premier league odds and bet365 premier league odds countries，bet365 premier league odds centrality is the common consciousness derived from the integration process，Concerning the interests and concerns of all countries as a whole in the development of East Asia。Second, as one of the main actors in East Asia regional cooperation，bet365 premier league odds plays the role of a major promoter in regional coordination，Remain central to regional cooperation。The centrality of this level is historically formed，From the initial stage of visualization，To the stage of establishing reality，To the current institutionalization stage，The central status of bet365 premier league odds has not only been recognized by countries inside and outside the region，The importance in the process of regional cooperation has become increasingly prominent。

，Also facing a series of inevitable challenges。The current challenges facing bet365 premier league odds’s centrality are mainly concentrated in the following three aspects。

First，Although the current regional bet365 premier league odds structure covers intersubjective politics、Economy、Core areas of security bet365 premier league odds，But the effectiveness of the mechanism is still insufficient。Existing mechanisms provide a platform for exchanges and bet365 premier league odds among subjects in East Asia，However, institutional norms cannot effectively promote the implementation of decisions or solve the obstacles faced by various entities in bet365 premier league odds，Enabling all entities to seek other bilateral or multilateral approaches，The bet365 premier league odds process becomes more complicated。

Second，In recent years，A series of new cooperation mechanisms are emerging around the world，More and more mechanisms overlap and take effect in East Asia，The bet365 premier league odds-led cooperation mechanism framework will inevitably be impacted，The risk of “de-ASEANization” has intensified。The rise of non-bet365 premier league odds-led mechanisms continues to shake bet365 premier league odds’s dominant position in the East Asian regional cooperation network。The United States ensures its influence in the Indo-Pacific region，Continuously strengthen the role of multiple mechanisms，At the same time, we have gradually established multiple trade relationships with various entities in the region，Brings interference factors to the regional cooperation architecture led by bet365 premier league odds。

　Third，Great powers in East Asia gather together，The complex pattern of power and interests，The competition among major powers has not only caused changes in the regional cooperation network in East Asia，It also has a certain impact on the original foundation of bet365 premier league odds’s centrality。Facing the instability and uncertainty of internal and external relations，bet365 premier league odds’s strategic decision-making is easily constrained by major powers，brings about the weakening of centrality。

However，The foundation of ASEAN’s centrality has not fundamentally changed。In the process of East Asia regional cooperation，The interaction between subjects unfolds over time，Cooperation in different dimensions has become a specific field for observing ASEAN’s centrality。The centrality of ASEAN emerges from the interaction between ASEAN and other entities，As time goes by，its position is always reproduced and preserved through interactions between ASEAN and other actors，Thus achieving survival。This means，ASEAN centrality is not a static concept，Its existence is affected by ASEAN’s own strategy and internal and external factors，Reflected in the fluctuations in the bet365 premier league odds structure and its relative position，It is the result of the joint construction of ASEAN and the bet365 premier league odds。With the evolution of the relationship network in various dimensions，ASEAN adopts timely strategic adjustments，Show full autonomy and adaptability in dealing with various shocks and challenges，Effectively safeguarding its effectiveness in regional cooperation，Its central position remains firm。
