81-92.
Based on the competitive input-output table including 42 departments published by China′s official(2002,2005,2007,2010,2012), the paper establishes the non-competitive input-output table which clarifies the differences between processing trade and general trade, imported and domestic intermediate input, and estimates the embodied domestic and import pollution in export, the balance of embodied emission in trade, pollution term of trade under the global value chain perspective, in order to investigate whether China is still the pollution deficit country in trade under the global value chain perspective. After excluding the pollution caused by imported intermediate input in export, China becomes pollution surplus country in international trade, more pollution is born by other countries, and the export becomes less polluting than import, but the attention should be paid to the decreasing pollution surplus in waste water and gas, and the export is becoming more and more polluting than import in SO2; the waste water and COD pollution caused by the production of export product are decreasing, the waste gas and solid waste pollution are increasing, which are mainly influenced by normal export, the state-owned enterprises play a major role in it, and the domestic pollution of trade is mainly caused by the export from Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other coastal provinces; China saves lots of waste gas, SO2 and solid waste through import, scale effect increases the pollution, and the structure effect and technology effect are beneficial to reducing environmental pollution, but the influence of the structure effect is relatively small. China needs to start with technology aspect to reduce the pollution coefficient of heavy polluting industries by raising environmental standards, and adjust the trade structure, decrease the export share and increase the import share in high pollution coefficient industries, especially increase the proportion of import intermediate inputs and decrease the proportion of domestic intermediate input in these industries to reduce the participation in high pollution process and enhance China′s position in the global value chain division.
