Northeast Asia is an important strategic region and it is widely accepted as the world’s next economic growth pole. Thus this region’s economic integration has attracted many powerful countries’ attention. The major powers in this region consist of South Korea•USA•Japan alliance, North Korea, China, Russia etc. These powers’ attendance has made Northeast more complicated and difficult to balance their interests. Not only China, but also South Korea, and even North Korea have their own interests in economic development and social progress. But so far North-east Asia is still suffering from North Korea’s nuclear weapon and missile threat, and can’t comfortably breathe the fresh air of peace and development which needs North-east Asia’s economic integration to build up new economic growth pole. However peace and development are still Northeast Asia’s mainstream. China actively proposed “The Belt and Road Initiative”, which consists of 6 economic corridors. These corridors are China’s major cooperation plans with surrounding countries and are the new times’ international cooperation mainstream. Among them, China-Pakistan economic corridor is prosperously proceeding, and China-Mongolia-Russia corridor is in active discussion. After China’s The Belt and Road Initiative was proposed, some scholars have researched possibilities of proposing Northeast Asia economic corridor, which yet is still in primary research period. Both China and South Korean scholars have shown great interests in this corridor related theory. This paper firstly reviewed the related researches and pointed out their shortcomings, secondly elaborated the research background which is transboundary economic corridor theory, then analyzed the formation basis of Northeast Asia and China-Pakistan Economic Corridors using the comparison method, at last this paper pointed out the implications for Northeast Asia economic corridor. According to the analysis, this paper has found their formation basis characteristics and then put forward implications for Northeast Asia corridor development, which can give Northeast Asia corridor some good points on how to start a new economic corridor and to balance the participating countries’ interests.
