A Study on the Synchronicity of the Process of the Evolution of Communication and Exchange of Guangxi China with ASEAN Countries

Abstract

As the exchange communication between Guangxi, China and ASEAN countries is both diachronic and synchronic, this research (on the exchange communication between Guangxi and ASEAN countries) aims to study the homogeneity of regional economic development during the same period of time as well as study the way in which the evolution of exchange communication has been changing between Guangxi and ASEAN countries in the globalization trends by referencing Arjun Appadurai’s concepts of globalization, which consist of five aspects: ethnoscapes, technoscapes, ideoscapes, financescapes, and mediascapes. This was carried out by conducting a cross-sectional study of exchange communication between Guangxi and ASEAN countries in each period in the history, and analyzed the interactive situations between the cultural landscape based on the collection of information related to (trans)migration. This research synchronically analyzed the nature of exchange communication between Guangxi and ASEAN countries.
