It is revealed that carbon emissions embodied in China, and 102 MtCO were embodied in imports. The net 2 imports and exports both increased during 1997–2007, but carbon exports of embodied carbon accounted for 12% of domestic emissions embodied in exports are greater than those embodied in carbon emissions. Peters and Hertwich (2008) found that in imports, China is a net export nation in embodied carbon. The net 2001, 24% of domestic carbon emissions were embodied in exports of embodied carbon account for about 10.82% of the total exports and 7% in imports. Wang and Watson (2007) found
