Abstract: In the context of the Belt and Road Initiative, it is of great significance to study the trade ties between China and Southeast Asia with cocoon silk as a link. Trend analysis, trade competitiveness index and trade complementarity index were comprehensively used in this paper to study the competitiveness and complementarity of the cocoon silk trade between China and Southeast Asia. The results show that the export trade volume of cocoon silk of China and Southeast Asia is decreasing while fluctuating, but it is difficult for other regions to replace their export trade status in the world market. The development trend of the replacement of the silkworm cocoon trade by the raw silk trade is presented. The cocoon silk trade of China and Southeast Asia is characterized by dislocation competition. China’s raw silk export trade is competitive and has become the leader of the raw silk export camp. This paper further analyzes the changes and complementarities of the cocoon silk trade competitiveness between China and Southeast Asia.
