This paper is using the panel data of the “Belt and Road” of ASEAN 10 countries and China from 2010 to 2016. And the principal component analysis method is used to construct the comprehensive index of industrial structure and the comprehensive index of environmental quality. The coupling degree and coupling coordination degree model are established to empirically analyze the industrial structure and environment. The coupling of mass and empirical results show that the coupling degree and coupling coordination degree are generally rising, but the value of coupling degree is always greater than the coupling coordination degree. Finally, a series of policy recommendations are proposed based on the empirical analysis.
