China is an emerging market in the middle and late stage of industrialization. Its economic and social development has faced serious environmental and resource constraints for a long time. As all countries are coping with climate change, China is trying to find solutions for major strategic problems concerning sustainable economic and social development as well as external environment. It faces issues such as how to realize the transformation of economic development patterns, how to reduce resource consumption while maintaining long-term growth, and how to protect the natural environment and reduce emissions.
In addition, studies on trade structure adjustment policies still face various difficulties. These problems include how to evaluate energy intensity in a scientific way; how to compare the influence of changes in goods, markets and trade on GDP energy intensity; how to choose trade policies and structural adjustment plans for various industries to meet the goals of conserving energy, reducing emissions and maintaining fast economic growth; and how to guarantee foreign trade transformation and upgrade through comprehensive measures.
