Examining Green Trade under the Green Economy between China and the countries along the Belt and Road

Abstract

Currently, the "green economy" is increasingly becoming an important concern of the international community, and coordinating the relationship between economic growth and the environment has become a game point among major powers. Global climate problems, sharp decrease of resources, deterioration of ecological environment and other issues have prompted mankind to think about a more sustainable development model. As an important strategy of China, the "the Belt and Road" strategy is also facing environmental constraints. Based on this background, this paper affirms the necessity of China's development of green trade along the "the Belt and Road", and believes that promoting countries along the Belt and Road to jointly build a green community will not only boost the transformation of China's economic development model, but also help countries along the Belt and Road gradually take the path of sustainable development. This paper also analyzes the current status of green trade in China and the "the Belt and Road" countries, and believes that there are also some difficulties in the opportunities, such as the lack of high-level ecological demand, insufficient technological innovation, and the existence of GDP only theory. It is of practical significance to put forward countermeasures and suggestions.
