International trade of PRC and its place in environmental sustainability
Abstract. The sustainable development of trade and the environment is related to the sustainability of a region, a country, and even the global economy. As a major trading country, China has achieved remarkable results in international trade growth in recent years, driven by its continuous deepening of open trade policies. Article identify the key factors that contribute to the changes in environmental sustainability in China’s international trade. Research defined the ways of China’s growth of international trade volume with promoting sustainable environmental development.
Analysis found the impact and role of the continuous expansion of trade scale on China’s sustainable environmental development. By analyzing the data on the scale and structure of China’s international trade, research checked the data changes that affect the relationship between international trade and environmentally sustainable development.
In this paper we substantiate the conceptual provisions of the theoretical and methodological model of the international trade and its place in environmental sustainability: system characteristics (international trade development to total GDP; international trade pattern structure analysis; geographic direction of international trade) and the principles of environmental sustainability (total industrial waste gas emissions and treatment; industrial solid waste generation, disposal and comprehensive utilization; industrial wastewater emissions, industrial chemical oxygen demand emissions, and Industrial ammonia nitrogen emissions).
