Trade Liberalization and the Environment: The Case of China
Özet
China has been involved in the process of globalization since 1978 through a comprehensive
liberalization of its foreign trade and investment regimes. Especially after becoming a member of the World Trade
Organization in 2001, CO2
emissions in China have increased. China's economy is growing very fast, which is the
main cause of China's air pollution. Trade liberalization and increased openness are seen as a means of
promoting economic growth for developing countries. However, most studies have revealed that trade
liberalization has negative impacts on the environment. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine how trade
liberalization affects the environment in China by examining the literature on the trade-environment debate. The
findings indicate that trade liberalization leads to economic development but has had negative impacts on the
environment in China.
