Study on the competitiveness and complementarity of China's carbon-intensive industries'trade with the US
Under the background of China's"Carbon Peak"and"Carbon Neutrality"and the effective implementation of the United States'carbon tax policy,based on the UNCOMTRADE database,CEADs database,and HS commodity classification,the input-out-put table to identify the carbon-intensive industries in China and the US was employed,categorizing them into traditional carbon-in-tensive industries and fully carbon-intensive industries.Then,the trade situation of carbon-intensive industries between China and the United States from the perspectives of competitiveness and complementarity was systematically analyzed by using empirical mea-surement indicators of multiple indexes.The results indicated that,compared to the traditional carbon-intensive industries in the Unit-ed States,China's traditional carbon-intensive industries had a lower level of exports,with both countries demonstrating relatively weak competitiveness and complementarity.Concerning fully carbon-intensive industries,both China and the United States were ma-jor exporters of carbon-intensive products,exhibiting concurrent trade competitiveness and complementarity.Additionally,the United States was utilizing China's carbon emissions,leading to China incurring higher environmental costs.
