Abstract:This paper measures and decomposes the trade gaps of containing carbon and trade conditions of pollution between China and her 32 trade partners within 1995 and 2005. It shows that China is in trade surplus in the research period, which increased much between 2000 and 2005. China’ s trade surplus was caused mostly by China’ s higher trade condition of pollution, while trade surplus also exerted increasing influence. Decomposition of trade condition of pollution shows that the trade surplus of containing carbon attributes to the technological differences between China and her trade partners. However, China’ s low-carbon technology progress between 1995 and 2000 efficiently improved trade conditions of pollution and furthermore reduced trade surplus of containing carbon. Moreover, China’ s cleaner export structure relative to import structure slightly reduced her trade surplus of containing carbon.
