| description | A primary development plan for a country is to attain carbon neutrality and high-quality international commerce development. This study uses panel data from 30 provinces in mainland China to analyze the dynamic interplay between international trade, technological innovation, and carbon emissions. The findings show that foreign trade, technological progress, and carbon emissions all have their own “economic inertia” that can be self-motivated and self-reinforcing. Foreign commerce and carbon emissions are mutually inhibiting, but technical progress and carbon emissions are mutually reinforcing. This illustrates that achieving a positive cycle of international trade, technological improvement, and carbon emissions necessitates a significant baseline need. Overcoming carbon trade barriers is currently the most difficult challenge for Chinese enterprises involved in foreign commerce. Low-carbon technology advancements are a critical part in this process. Our research strengthens the positive connections between international trade and carbon emissions as a result of technological improvement and proposes a feasible plan for international trade to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. |
