Abstract

Green barrier is a kind of new non-tariff barrier in the current international trade. This paper based on the meaning

of green barrier, analyzed green barrier can promote Sustainable Development of Chinese Foreign Trade, and

proposed counter strategies to green barrier.

Keywords: Green barrier, Sustainable sevelopment, Counter strategies

1. Green barrier meaning

Green barrier has been mentioned as a hot topic with extremely high frequency now by our economic circles and

academic circles. However, each person’s viewpoint about green barrier meaning is different, the most

representative explanation is: the developed countries are in the name of protecting natural resources, ecological

environment and human health, place obstacles to products and service from other countries and regions through

making a series of complex, harsh environmental protection systems and standards, restrict imports to achieve the

aim of protecting their own markets, it is a new kind of non-tariff barrier. Green barrier is in a situation that it is still

unripe to develop at present, so brings a very great negative effect to our country, even so, this paper thinks that

green barrier is not favored for China in the short-term, but if considered from the long-term, green barrier is not the

simple product of trade tactic and commercial discrimination, it will cause new technologies, new products, and will

be advantageous to the sustainable development.

2. Green barrier has provided the sustainable development opportunity for Chinese Foreign Trade

2.1 Strengthen the international competitiveness of the enterprise export product

The implementation of the environmental standard, the green authentication, the health and safety quarantine

barriers in the world, promotes enterprise initiative to increase development of the pollution-free product, improves

our technology, improves production efficiency and product quality, promotes a higher skill level and achieves

higher standards for the development of enterprises. Green barrier has given our enterprises a deep lesson in recent

years, that is we cannot simply focus on the production quantity and the value, but neglect using the technical

method and the method of the development of pollution-free, since 2003, 12 industries and 13690 enterprises have

realized this serious problem in our country. From this perspective, we have to say the appearance of green barrier

has stimulated the growing of domestic enterprises instead, has driven the improvement of respects such as

environmental protection standard, quality level and technical specification of these enterprises, etc. It is exactly the

essential condition that an enterprise realizes the goal of sustainable development.

2.2 Favorable to the goods structure optimization of the foreign trade

Under the impact of green barrier tide, the international competitiveness of the non-green products is less and less,

profit rate more and more low, and of our export product. So we should promote green products, we need numerous

products to manage from the design, the production, the transportation, the marketing, the service and so on. This

offers the opportunity for the industrial structure and the export commodity structure adjustment of our country,

helps to reduce our energy consumption of industry finished product, enhances the attachment value of the product,

speeds up product upgrades, makes China's export structure become even better, namely transits from labor and

resource intensive to a technology and knowledge intensive.

2.3 Open up a broad green market for foreign trade

As the environmental protection idea is rooted in the hearts of the people day by day, most of the residents prefer to

spend more money to buy green products, do not want to buy relatively inexpensive non-green products in the world.

There are currently 80% of the Dutch and 90% of German, 89% of American considering the environmental

standards of consumer products at first, 85% of the Swede would like to pay the higher price for the clean

environment; 77% of the Japanese only select and buy the products with environment mark, the whole world has

already appeared on a green market formed by green products, green products production technology, according to

the incomplete statistics, the green market breakthrough 600 billion US dollars at the end of the 20th century, the

harness

environmental protection industry will truly become the world economy's pillar industries. Development of green

products can help enterprises to enhance their competitive advantage and expand market share, therefore, China

should conform to the world trade green wave, maximum use of green markets, and promote the further

development of foreign trade.

2.4 Favorable to the protection of the ecological environment, and to the realization of interaction of the trade and

the environment

Green barrier forces the enterprises of our country to pay close attention to the ecological environment while

producing the products, reduces the consumption of resources and the energy, shifts the initiative that enterprises

prevent the environmental pollution fundamentally, offers a new management methods for solving the

environmental problem. Since reform and open policy, it has been more than 20 years, we have created the

world-renowned achievements, but also have faced serious threat of enormous energy depletion and environmental

destruction. China's production and processing system performance is still low the production technology, low the

resource utilization ratio and low the value-added products, the energy consumption of unit output value is

equivalent to 3-4 times of the developed country. The reality that the ecological environment worsens day by day

has already become one of the most urgent, most important problems faced by economic and social development of

our country. Fortunately, green barrier can solve this problem and make the ecological environment maintained.

3. Counter strategies of breaking through green barrier and developing sustainable trade

It is necessary to set up an omni-directional brainstorm system participated in together by government and enterprise,

take practical strategies to promote China's foreign trade to vigorous development.

3.1 The government aspects

Our government is not only managers and participants in economic activities but also protector and supporter in

China's export trade, so the government department should take strong means voluntarily, protect the export trade

interests of our country, main strategies such as: integrating environmental protection into long-term strategic

development plan; speeding up the steps of in line with our environmental protection standards and international

standards; taking the lead to set up early warning systems for green barrier; speeding up the training of international

green talented person.

3.2 The enterprise aspects

In the export trade, enterprise is not only a direct participant, but also a concrete implementer of different tactics and

strategies. Therefore, the export enterprise should be guided by the government, and has the courage to face the

challenge of green barriers, main strategies such as: carrying out actively the green management under the guidance

of the green concept; applying actively for the ISO14000 environment management system authentication;

distracting international market risk through the implementation of the strategy of market diversification; conducting

overseas direct investment at the appropriate time to go round green barrier.
