Abstract: As the world’s factory, China has enjoyed huge economic benefits from international export but also suffered
14
severe environmental consequences. Most studies investigating unequal environmental exchange associated with trade
15
took China as a homogenous entity ignoring considerable inequality and outsourcing of pollution within China. This
16
paper traces the regional mismatch of export-induced economic benefits and environmental costs along national supply
17
chains by using the latest multi-regional input-output model and emission inventory for 2012. The results indicated that
18
approximately 56% of the national GDP induced by exports has been received by developed coastal regions, while about
19
72% of air pollution embodied in national exports, measured as aggregated atmospheric pollutant equivalents (APE), has
20
been mainly incurred by less developed central and western regions. For each yuan of export-induced GDP, developed
21
regions only incurred 0.4~0.6 g APE emissions, while less developed regions from western or central China had to suffer
22
4 to 8 times the amount of emissions. This is due to poorer regions providing lower value added and higher emission-
23
intensive inputs and having lower environmental standards and less efficient technologies. Our results may pave a way to
24
mitigate the unequal relationship between developed and less developed regions from the perspective of environment-
25
economy nexus.

1. Introduction
30
Since the accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, China has gradually become a factory for the
31
world. During 2001-2015, exports in China have increased by an average of 16.1% per annum 1. In 2016, China, the
32
largest exporter globally, contributed about 13.2% of world merchandise export 2. The astounding growth of exports has
33
also significantly fostered China’s economic prosperity. In spite of the unprecedented economic gains, the “China Dragon”
34
has suffered severe air pollution and become a “Pollution Dragon” 3, with exports being an important driving factor of
35
the serious air pollution in China 4-6. For example, 15%, 21%, 23% and 21% of Chinese industrial primary fine particular
36
matters (PM2.5), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC)
37
emissions, respectively, were caused by China’s exports in 2007 7. Moreover, PM2.5 emissions embodied in China’s
38
exports accounted for about 27%, 29% and 26% of consumption-based emissions in the USA, Japan and Western Europe
39
in 2007, respectively 8. Export-induced emission transfers have also given rise to aerosol climate forcing 9, and other
40
serious environmental pollution such as PM2.5 10, sulfate, ozone, black carbon, carbon monoxide 11, and associated health
41
problems 12. Specifically, export was estimated to cause 12% of China’ total mortality attributable to PM2.5-related air
42
pollution in 2007 10.
43
Moreover, export may further aggravate the imbalance in regional emission transfers within China. Due to substantial
44
regional disparities in economic structure, resource endowment and technological capabilities in China, developed coastal
45
regions are more specialized in the production of high value-added commodities, while the less developed central and
46
western regions have a larger share of low value-added but high pollution-intensive heavy industry and manufacturing
47
(steel, cement, thermal power, etc.) 10. To satisfy regional consumption in coastal China, the less developed central and
48
western regions have incurred emissions of atmospheric pollutants through their contribution to national and global supply
49
chains 13-18. In addition, production for international export from coastal regions has also created emissions pressures in
50
less developed regions—about 50% of air pollutant emissions embodied in coastal regions’ exports were outsourced to
51
Central, Northwest and Southwest through consuming intermediate products from those regions7. Within Beijing–
52
Tianjin–Hebei, China’s most polluted area, Hebei incurred about 8~30% of the emissions through its contribution to
53
Beijing’s exports in 2010 19. Overall, less developed regions suffer a larger share of air pollution-related mortality and
54
environmental damage caused by export production 20. 2

55
Exports among regions or countries not only allows for exchange of goods and services but also causes hidden pollution
56
transfers 19, 21-23. At the global level, developed countries have been able to grab much larger shares of value added, while
57
developing countries incurred a larger share of pollution and negative health affects along global supply chains
58
Nevertheless, due to pollution intensive energy mix, less efficient production technologies as well as an inferior position
59
in the global value chain, China contributes larger shares of energy- and emission-intensive final and intermediate
60
products to global supply chains 27. Therefore, China has suffered higher shares of ecological and environmental loss, in
61
comparison to the global shares of value added along global supply chains
62
regional economic development within China, previous studies have mainly focused on China’s inter-provincial virtual
63
flows of emission 7, 10 and related mortality10 caused by international trade. Although the imbalanced distributions of
64
regional mortality and economic gains has been involved in previous research 10, the inherent pathway, how the
65
environmental and economic inequality generated along the intricate domestic supply chains at provincial and sectoral
66
level, still need further analysis. Such in-depth quantification of the export-induced mismatch between economic gains
67
and environmental loss may uncover the potential obstacle of greener domestic supply chains and facilitate cross-
68
boundary air pollution control between coastal and inland regions.

. With respect to the unbalanced
69
To fill this gap, here we developed a multiregional input-output (MRIO) model with air pollutant emission inventory
70
(i.e., SO2, NOx, particulate matter (PM)) to quantify the economic benefits and environmental costs induced from
71
international trade based on the most recently available data (see Figure S3 in Supporting Information(SI)). The MRIO
72
table in 2012 includes 30 provinces (excluding Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan due to the lack of data) and 30
73
economic sectors for each province (Table S2 in SI). The bottom-up air pollutant emission inventory has been further
74
aggregated to atmospheric pollutant equivalents (APE) to comprehensively represent the severity of air pollution (details
75
see Materials and Methods). Moreover, an economic and environmental justice index (i.e., AG index, see Materials and
76
Methods) has been built to characterize regional environmental justice related to international export.
77 78
2. Materials and Methods 2.1 Multi-regional input-output analysis
79
The multiregional input-output approach is able to characterize economic flows between regions, economic sectors and
80
final demand 27. Through a combination of regional and sectoral emission inventories, MRIO can effectively uncover the
81
pollutant emissions in other regions caused by the consumption of a given region 31. These features make MRIO a popular
82
method to quantify trade activities and their national or regional environmental impacts such as carbon dioxide 32, water
83
shortage 33, 34, atmospheric air pollution 7, 14 and public health 6, 10, 17.
84 85
Each row’s balance of the monetary MRIO table (Table S1 in SI) can be written as: xir aijrs x sj yirs yire s

from sector i in region r to produce per unit output for sector j in region s. aijrs x sj is the products of sector i in region r as
89
rs intermediate input consumed by sector j in region s; yi refers to the products of sector i from region r consumed finally
90
re in region s; yi represents the final products of sector i in region r for international exports. Note that part of the
91
exported final products may return to China to be finally processed in other final or intermediate goods from the
92
perspective of global supply chain. However, such feedback effect has not been considered in this paper.
93

94
In this paper, matrices are indicated by bold, italicized capital letters; vectors are denoted by bold, italicized lower case
95

by international exports only, as follows:

Equation (2) can be further expressed as:
98

Here, x e represents the total output vector caused by the international export of all regions; I is identity matrix and
( I A) 1 is the Leontief inverse matrix.

Let f fi r mn1 and d dir mn1 refers to sectoral air pollution emissions intensity (SO2, NOx and PM) and value

r r r r r r added coefficient for each region, respectively. The respective elements f i ei xi and di vi xi represent the air
106
r r pollutant emissions and value added per unit of total output, where ei and vi represent air pollutant emissions and
107
value added of sector i in region r. Then, Equation (4) can be expressed as the following equations:

109
V dˆ ( I A)1 y e

110
Here, the notation ^ indicates the diagonalization of corresponding column vectors.
111
Therefore, the air pollutant emissions E rs and value added V rs in region r driving by international export other

Here, if s r , E rs and V rs indicate the production of final exported products or intermediate products in region r
116
is to fulfill region r’s local international export, and the accompany emissions and value added is termed as region r’s
117
direct emissions or value added in this paper; if s r , E rs and V rs mean the emission or value added occurred in
118
region r is finally embodied in region s’s international export via cross-regional supply chains. The summation of the
119
values of all region s (except region r) can be termed as region r’s indirect emissions or value added in this paper (see
120
se Figure S3). Here yˆ is a diagonal matrix with the corresponding international exports for region s, but zeroes for all
121
other regions.
122
The air pollutant emissions e r and value added v r that occurred in region r and triggered by all regions’ international
123
exports, are defined as region r’s territorial emissions and value added in this paper, which can be expressed as follows:

where, e rs and v rs are the corresponding elements in matrices E rs and V rs , respectively.

Furthermore, the emissions et s and value added vt s that occurred in all regions but triggered by the international
128
exports of region s, are defined as region s’s trade-related emissions and value added in this paper, respectively, as shown

To represent the disproportion of transferred air emissions and value added, a regional economic and environmental justice index, i.e., APE-GDP index (hereafter AG index for abbreviation), has been built, shown as follow: ag rs
134 135
e rs v rs
(13)
Here, ag rs , the AG index (unit: g/yuan), refers to export-related air pollutant emissions that occurred in region r in
136
exchange for export-related monetary flows from region s.

2.2 Data sources
138
Chinese MRIO table and sectoral air pollutant emission inventories were used in this study. The MRIO table was
139
compiled based on China’s original provincial monetary input-output tables for 2012, which were released in 2016 by the
140
National Bureau of Statistics 35. Additionally, a hybrid technique based on maximum entropy and dual-constrained gravity 5
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Environmental Science & Technology
Page 6 of 18
141
models 36, 37 was employed to trace inter-sectoral trade flows between each province in the process of MRIO compilation.
142
The MRIO table includes 30 provinces (excluding Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan due to the lack of data) and 30
143
economic sectors for each province (Table S2 in SI). Furthermore, because the goods in the original provincial monetary
144
input-output table consider domestic goods and imports together 38, we separated imported goods from domestic goods
145
for both intermediate and final use. Details about the compilation of Chinese 2012 MRIO tables are presented in the SI.
146
The bottom-up emission inventory contains three main types of air pollutants, SO2, NOx and PM, from industry, traffic,
147
agriculture and service sector sources. Here, PM in China’s environmental statistics comprises soot and dust, which both
148
contains total suspended particulates (TSP), PM10 and PM2.5. Emissions from industry and traffic were derived from the
149
China Environmental Statistics (CES) database
150
vehicles in all 30 provinces in 2012. The CES database is regarded as the most authoritative survey data source for
151
pollution in China. It is worth noting that there may exist uncertainties in our emission inventory. For example, a certain
152
proportion of air pollutant emissions from electricity and heat power sector may occur for residential district heating,
153
especially in North China 40. However, we could not separate this part because the values of above two sectors were
154
aggregated in original provincial input-output tables 41. Detailed information on the data sources and uncertainty are listed
155
in the SI.
39
, which contains 147,996 industrial sources and different types of
156
China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) established a system of imposing a discharge fee on various
157
aquatic, atmospheric and solid pollutants in 1982. To simplify the discharge fee of various pollutants, MEP designed a
158
new measure called “pollutant equivalent”, which allows aggregating different types of pollutants according to their
159
environmental and health impacts by assigning a specific coefficient representing their respective damage to each
160
pollutant. The conversion coefficient can be calculated according to MEP’s scientific method, which comprehensively
161
considers each pollutant’s impact on ecological system, toxicity on organism and technical feasibility to remove 42. Above
162
methodology gives us a chance to comprehensively represent the severity of air pollution by using three major air
163
pollutants. In this study, SO2, NOx, soot and dust are combined into a new measure named atmospheric pollutant
164
equivalents (APE). Based on China’s official documents concerning pollution charge schedule, the respective conversion
165
coefficient to APE for SO2, NOx, soot and dust is 0.95, 0.95, 2.18 and 4, which means that 1 kg APE is equal to 0.95, 0.95,
166
2.18 and 4 kg of SO2, NOx, soot and dust, respectively (details are listed in SI) 43.
167
The sectoral value-added amounts for 30 provinces were directly derived from the MRIO table, consisting of employee
168
compensation, net taxes on production, depreciation of fixed assets and operating surplus. In this paper, the effects of sub-
169
items will not be distinguished, and we only use total value added to calculate vector D, as shown in equation (6). By
170
definition GDP is equal to value added.
171 172
3. Results and discussion 3.1 Export structure of each province in China
173
Figure 1 shows China’s exports per province and sector. In 2012, total exports amounted to 13,688 billion yuan (i.e.
174
2,168 billion US$), contributing about 11% of global exports. Significant discrepancies existed in international export for
175
China’s 30 provinces due to differential regional development and economic structure. Export are heavily skewed toward 6
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 7 of 18
Environmental Science & Technology
176
richer regions. In 2012, the total value of export in the top ten provinces, ranked by per capita GDP, accounted for 81.5%
177
of the national total, and exports in Beijing-Tianjin, the top two municipalities in terms of per capita GDP, accounted for
178
5.3% (Figure 1a & Figure 1c). The total value of export in Guangdong, the largest exporter in 2012, amounted to 3,327
179
billion yuan (24.3% of national), which nearly amounted to 1.5 times of the sum of the total exports in Central, Northwest
180
and Southwest. At the sector level, Electronic equipment and Electrical equipment accounted for 30% of national exports
181
(Figure 1b). Guangdong occupied the largest share in Electronic and Electrical Equipment exports, accounting for about
182
41% of national sectoral export. For other regions, Electronic products and Services contributed about 43% of Beijing-
183
Tianjin’s exports, while Chemical industry (14.3%) ranked first in the exports of North. As the old industrial base,
184
Transport equipment (11.8%) and General equipment (8.8%) dominated the Northeast’s exports.

exports, respectively; (c) depicts each province’s GDP per capita in 2012. The full names of abbreviation for sectors are listed in
188
Table S2.
189
3.2 Regional economic and environmental inequity hidden in China’s export
190
Environmental burden and economic gains are the two sides of the same coin. China’s total national export contributed
191
10,506 billion yuan (i.e. 19.5%) to China’s GDP and triggered 11,259 Gg APE emissions, constituting 24.1% of China’s
192
territorial APE emissions. Figure 2 depicts regional export-related and territorial economic gains and air pollutants
193
emissions. Export in East Coast and South Coast, the two biggest exporters, contributed 3,672 and 2,928 billion yuan,
194
35% and 28% of total national export-related GDP, respectively, which actually occurred in all eight regions (i.e. territorial
195
GDP). Export-related APE emissions in these two regions accounted for 3,275 and 2,589 Gg, i.e. 29% and 23% of national
196
export-related APE emissions, respectively. Whereas export in Central and Northwest generated only about 9% and 4%
197
of national export-related GDP, respectively, their share of export-related APE emissions was 12% and 9%, respectively.
198
Similar patterns can also be observed in Southwest, Northeast and North Coast reflecting regional specialization in the
199
production of pollution-intensive products, such as steel, chemical, cement, for local exports and intermediate inputs to 7
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Environmental Science & Technology
Page 8 of 18
200
support other regions’ exports. In contrast, the contribution of the richer East Coast and South Coast is higher than their
201
share of export-related APE emissions. In 2012, territorial GDP in East Coast, South Coast and Beijing-Tianjin induced
202
by exports reached 5,885 billion yuan, accounting for about 56% of territorial GDP, while their territorial APE from
203
exports accounted only for 3,174 Gg or 28% of the total territorial APE emissions. In other words, the remaining five
204
regions received only 44% of territorial GDP but incurred 72% (8,085 Gg) of territorial APE (as shown in Figure 2).
205
Above-mentioned results can be attributed to the fact that the exported products of the rich regions were mostly higher
206
value-added products such as electronic and electrical equipment, clothing, chemical products and services.

Figure 2. Flow network of export-related GDP and APE from export regions to upstream regions along with cross-regional supply chains. The export-related GDP or APE represents the total GDP or APE induced by one region’s final export products, including GDP or APE occurring domestically and in upstream regions providing intermediate products; territorial GDP or APE denotes the total GDP or APE occurring in one region, including GDP or APE embodied in local exports and intermediate inputs to support other regions’ exports. The percentage indicates each region’s share of national total, respectively. The arrow from export-related GDP or APE to territorial GDP or APE indicates one region’s territorial GDP or APE attributable to all regions’ export-related GDP or APE through domestic supply chains. China’s 30 provinces have been grouped into eight geographical regions for presentation purposes (see Table S3).
216
Figure 3a shows the matrix of AG index, i.e. export-related APE emissions per unit of export-related value added,
217
among eight regions induced by each region’s export, the range of which are from 0.4 to 4.0 g/yuan. The highest AG
218
values occurred in trade flows from Northeast to Northwest and Beijing-Tianjin to the Northwest (4.0 g/yuan and 3.7
219
g/yuan, respectively). The average values of Beijing-Tianjin (0.4 g/yuan), East Coast (0.5 g/yuan) and South Coast (0.6
220
g/yuan) are generally smaller than other regions when reading down the column, indicating that these rich regions incurred
221
only 0.4 g, 0.5 g and 0.6 g APE emissions per yuan of export-related GDP. In contrast, the average values of Northwest
222
(3.2 g/yuan), Central (1.9 g/yuan) and Southwest (1.7 g/yuan) are significantly larger, indicating that these poor regions
223
had to suffer approximately 4 to 8 fold the amount of APE emissions per unit of export-related GDP than coastal regions.
224
When reading along the rows of Figure 3a we see the amount of APE emissions per unit of export-related GDP in the
225
focal region. According to this analysis, Northwest was not only the largest polluter but also the largest outsourcing region 8
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 9 of 18
Environmental Science & Technology
226
of export-related pollution, whereby other regions, especially in central and western China, had to suffer 2.5 g APE
227
emissions per yuan for providing inputs to Northwest’s export. The reason lies in the type of intermediate products
228
exchanged between Northwest and other regions, which were mainly high pollution- or energy-intensive products, such
229
as metal and non-metal product, chemical products and electricity (Figure 3Figure 3b). As the main outsourced
230
intermediate products, supplied electricity for other regions induced 937Gg APE emissions in Northwest, accounted for
231
37% of total APE emissions embodied in Northwest’s imported intermediate products (Figure S4 in SI), and similar
232
results can also be found in other studies44, 45. In conclusion, richer coastal regions suffered less emissions than inland
233
regions whether they were exporters of final products or producers of intermediate products.

3.3 Economic and environmental inequity in six major coastal provinces
243
To further present the detailed economic and environment inequity in China, we depicted GDP gains and environmental
244
loss in terms of APE emissions from regional export in the six major coastal provinces, as shown in Figure 4Figure 4. In
245
2012, the six major export provinces, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Shandong, accounted for
246
7,487 billion yuan, i.e. 71.3% of national export-related GDP, with approximately 6,762 Gg induced APE emissions,
247
accounting for 60% of the total. While 65% of export-related GDP were kept in these six major export provinces, they
248
outsourced about 60.6% export-related APE emissions to other regions. Guangdong produced the largest export-related
249
GDP (2,450 billion yuan) and export-related APE emissions (2,129 Gg) in 2012, reaching about 23.3% and 22.7% of
250
national total, respectively. Shanghai, the biggest beneficiary in international export, transferred about 74% of export-
251
related APE emissions while only outsourced 26% of export-related GDP to other regions owing to its highly-developed
252
service sectors such as the financial sectors. In comparison, Shandong, a typical north coastal province with high
253
concentration of heavy industry, created the least economic and environmental imbalance, keeping about 70% and of 56%
254
of its export-related GDP and APE emissions, locally.

Figure 4. Comparison of outsourced APE, GDP and related AG index from China’s biggest six exporters, i.e., Guangdong(a), Fujian(b), Zhejiang(c), Shanghai(d), Jiangsu(e) and Shandong(f). The red and green columnar represent GDP and APE outsourced from colored coastal province to other provinces through domestic supply chains. Grey shades represent the AG index. The higher the index, the more APE emissions are outsourced per unit of export-related GDP.
260
On the other hand, provinces located in Central and Northwest and with high concentration on production of heavy and
261
energy-related products were the main destinations of export-induced APE emissions because of the supply of
262
intermediate commodities for coastal provinces’ exports, such as Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou. Owing 11

263
to the specialization in the production of exports with high value added, coastal provinces were the main destinations of
264
export-related GDP. For example, among transferred export-related GDP and export-related APE emissions from
265
Guangdong and Fujian, Shandong obtained the highest share (4.5% and 5.7%, respectively). The two biggest coal bases
266
(Shanxi and Inner Mongolia) and the biggest primary industrial producer (Hebei) contributed the largest share of export-
267
related APE emissions for inputs to East Coast exports (5.8%, 6.4% and 5.9% respectively).
268
By specializing in high-value added and low-emission exports, AG index of the six major export provinces were both
269
lower than 1 g/yuan. In contrast, the AG index for Central, Northeast, Sichuan, Chongqing in the western regions, had a
270
range 1~3 g/yuan, indicating that more export-related APE emissions occurred while earning per unit of export-related
271
GDP; and, most provinces in Northwest and Southwest have an AG index of higher than 3 g/yuan. These regions were
272
disadvantaged in interregional trade by obtaining less economic benefits and high environmental costs. For example, by
273
contributing to the export of the six major export provinces, Ningxia incurred about 7~9 g export-related APE emissions
274
per yuan of export benefits, suffering the largest economic and environmental inequity.
275

276
Figure 5 compares the direct and indirect APE emissions and value added caused by the export of Guangdong’s
277
electronic products and Ningxia’s metal products. As the largest exporter in 2012, Guangdong’s export specialized in
278
electronic equipment, constituting about 37% of its total exports. The export of electronic equipment contributed about
279
209 billion yuan value added for Guangdong, with only 3 Gg sectoral APE emissions, locally. In order to provide
280
intermediate products for the production of electronic equipment, other sectors in Guangdong gained more than 275
281
billion yuan of export-related value added. On the other hand, electronics equipment also led to extra 133 Gg APE
282
emissions to Guangdong’s other sectors, mainly electricity and heat, metal and non-metal products, and transportation.
283
In sum, Guangdong earned 484 billion yuan (67% of export-related value added) from the export of electronic equipment
284
and only suffered 136 Gg, 27% of the export-related APE emissions, locally. The outsourced emissions (363 Gg) mainly
285
occurred in the less developed Central, Northwest, Southwest regions (accounting for 67% of outsourced emissions),
286
however, these regions only obtained 48% of the outsourced export-related value added. The developed regions (Beijing-
287
Tianjin, South Coast and East Coast) gained more than half of the outsourced value added from Guangdong’s export of
288
electronic equipment and only incurred 33% of induced APE emissions. The above disproportion between export-related
289
APE and GDP are reflected more directly by the AG index, as shown in Figure 5a. The AG index of three less developed
290
regions are from 1.7~3.3 g/yuan, which are approximately 4~5 fold of developed regions such as Guangdong. Generally,
291
Guangdong has grabbed the major value added from the export of electronic equipment, while shifting most of the related
292
emissions to other regions, especially the less developed central and western regions.

Figure 5. Direct and indirect APE and value added caused by the export of Guangdong’s electronic products (a) and Ningxia’s metal products(b). Note that South Coast within (a) does not include Guangdong, and Northwest within (b) does not include Ningxia. MRIO’s 30 sectors are further combined to 10 sectors for presentation purposes (see Table S4 in SI).
297
As the smallest inland exporter, Ningxia’s export only contributed 0.1% (15 billion yuan) of the national total in 2012.
298
The largest export sector in Ningxia was melt products, which contributed about 18% of Ningxia’s total export and
299
directly produced about 486 million yuan value added as well as 2,911 Mg APE emissions, within the province.
300
Furthermore, to support Ningxia’s export of melt products, about 454 million yuan induced value added were achieved
301
by other sectors, mainly including Metal and non-metal products, Services, Electricity and heat, and Mining products in
302
Ningxia. Simultaneously, 3,684 Gg APE concentrated in the same sectors were emitted in Ningxia. As a whole, Ningxia
303
kept about only 48% of export-related value added from the export of Melt smelting and incurred 77% of associated APE
304
emissions locally. The outsourced value added from Ningxia mainly occurred in other northwestern provinces, Central, 13

Page 14 of 18
305
as well as richer North and East Coast. Obviously, almost all other regions shared the outsourced value added (2,020
306
million yuan) to varying degrees, as shown in Figure 5b. However, less developed regions (Northwest, Central, Southwest
307
and North) received 86% of Ningxia’s outsourced APE when they provided their pollution-intensive upstream products,
308
like electricity, metal and non-metal products for Ningxia. The AG index of Ningxia’s Metal products and other sectors
309
are up to 6.0 and 8.1 g/yuan, respectively, which means Ningxia incurred more emissions than other regions when
310
obtaining equivalent value added. Other less developed regions also incurred more emissions than developed coastal
311
regions per unit export-related value added from Ningxia’s export of metal products due to their heavy industry.
312
4. Policy implications
313
Export has partly intensified the regional economic and environmental inequity within China. At present, China is still
314
stuck at the bottom of global “Smiling Curve” 46,47, referring to the distribution of value added across the different stages
315
in the global value chain, with higher shares of value added at both ends of the production chain and lower value added
316
for the manufacturing sections in the middle of the curve. For example, along the global supply chain of Apple products,
317
349 out of 785 global suppliers are in China, while the core high-tech components are mainly imported from Japan and
318
Korea. China can only obtain less than 4% of the total profits in the production of iPhone, while the USA, Japan and
319
Korea are able to extract most of the profit owing to their design and high-tech contributions to the global supply chains
320
48, 49
321
have been given preferential development with government support adding to historical development advantage as well
322
as proximity to harbors and export opportunities, and have thus gained large volume of export and rapid economic growth.
323
Since 2000, Chinese government has proposed the “West Development” and “Northeast Area Revitalization Plan” to
324
accelerate inland regions’ economic growth. However, they are still stuck in an inferior position in the national value
325
chain. On the one hand, regional resource endowment has made some provinces in central and western regions become
326
the energy base, such as Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, providing low value added, high pollution inputs. On the other hand,
327
their less strict environmental regulation has attracted emission-intensive but low value added enterprises from coastal
328
regions 10. As a consequence, inner regions have gained lower shares of value added but larger shares of air pollution than
329
coastal regions in the national export as shown in our findings.
. A similar phenomenon can also be observed within China. Since the reform and opening-up in China, coastal regions
330
There is still much to be done to reduce the regional economic and environmental inequity from export production,
331
especially under the background that China’s exports are increasingly moving from developed countries towards
332
developing countries50. On the one hand, export from central and western regions are much lower than that in coastal
333
regions due to historic reasons and distance from global transport hubs. Therefore, central and western regions in China
334
should boost their international trade with Southeast Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and North Africa via the
335
opportunity of the “Belt and Road Initiatives” (proposed by Chinese government in 2013), which may lighten the unequal
336
exchange along domestic supply chains. If the portfolio of exported products would change due to new export destinations,
337
differential pollution mitigation policies are also required to change the current division of labor and thus distribution of
338
costs and benefits. On the other hand, central and western regions should accelerate the transformation of regional
339
industrial structure, optimize export structure and transform from “Made in China” to “Made with Wisdom”. Specifically, 14
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 15 of 18
Environmental Science & Technology
340
interior regions, specializing in heavy industry and extraction of natural resources, should gradually be transformed to the
341
development of intelligent manufacturing equipment and products with higher value-added but lower emissions, relying
342
on regional natural endowment and competitive advantage. Moreover, traditional heavy industry sectors, such as
343
production of non-metallic mineral products, smelting and processing of metals, metal products and chemical industry,
344
should be encouraged to transform towards more automatic, integrated and intelligent manufacturing to achieve greener
345
and higher value added manufacturing in central and western regions. Since outsourcing of heavy industry is a zero sum
346
game, the remaining heavy industry sectors need to employ the latest technology and produce with least pollution and
347
consider transport emissions incurred by shipment to demand centers.
348
In addition, central government’s air pollution targets are assigned to regions based on levels of air quality in China.
349
However, as shown in this paper, poor air quality in one region may be partly caused by other regions’ consumption.
350
Therefore, interregional eco-compensation for air pollution control from coastal regions to inland regions should be
351
established to promote joint efforts in China’s regional emission control
352
internalized in commodity prices through environmental taxation or the recently established interregional air emission
353
trading market, which can be used to finance pollution abatement in less developed regions. Last but not the least,
354
consumption-based accounting highlights the important role of all stakeholders along global supply chains and in
355
particular the consumers and their environmental responsibility. In international trade, China should be integrated with
356
its main trade partners in international agreements to encourage cross-boundary collaboration, technology transfer, further
357
efficiency improvements and emission abatement know-how throughout global supply chains. MRIO and similar tools
358
can help identify global emission hot spots
359
chain analysis to manage their supply chains sustainability, ensure quality control, and resource security. Such global
360
supply chain analyses can complement stakeholder identification processes aimed to better understand multi-level
361
systems such as global supply chains and their broad institutional environments, which aids NGOs, researchers, decision-
362
makers and practitioners make more knowledgeable decisions and their present and potential responsibilities and roles 52.
363
Finally, information about cumulative environmental and social impacts along global supply chains can add consumers
364
in making informed decisions and consider other relevant criteria in their purchase decisions.

. Furthermore, pollution cost should be
and design least cost interventions. Similarly, enterprises can use supply
