1.First, the "carbon tariff" The concept of "carbon tariff" most early by former French President Jacques Chirac put forward is that if a country's production of the product does not reach the standard set by the importing country in energy saving and emission reduction, will be levied tariffs. In 2009 France proposed in 2010 will to foreign imports impose a "carbon tariff", the tariff rate will be for per ton of carbon dioxide emissions charge Euro 17, later also will be gradually increasing. June 2009 through the clean energy and Security Act provisions, from 2020 onwards United States from failed to take measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases national iron and steel, cement, glass and paper imported products to take "border adjustment measures, that levy" carbon tariff ", in order to avoid the unfair competition in manufacturing in the United States. Carbon tax is actually the emissions of carbon dioxide to the burning of fossil fuels produces a tax for the tax base. Due to the direct to carbon dioxide emissions for the tax basis in tax collection and management of operation difficulty is relatively large, so practice in general according to the different kinds of fossil fuel carbon content of discounted after tax. According to the object of Taxation, carbon tax can be divided into two types. One is for the fossil fuel levy carbon tax; another is for energy intensive products, such as cement and steel, carbon tax, tax based on the theory of products in the production process emissions amount of carbon dioxide. 2.Two, "carbon tariff" on China effect (1) Chinese will face a new round of trade protectionism Under the impact of the global financial crisis, a new round of trade protectionism rise trend appears, China as the world's largest exporting countries, under the financial crisis by great harm.As of early November 2009, global total 19 countries and regions, exports to China initiated the 101 trade relief, involving a total of more than 116 billion US dollars. If Europe and the United States national climate more "carbon tariff", Chinese will face a new round of trade protectionism. Due to the current international and not a unified carbon emissions standards, such as Europe and the United States once levy a "carbon tariff", the implementation conforms to the interests of their carbon standard, then other countries can also according to their own standards impose a "carbon tariff", which is bound to lead to a trade war. (2) Chinese high energy exports will become a "carbon tariff" object of Taxation At present proposed levying a "carbon tariff" country is mainly Europe and the United States and other developed countries, but China Commodity exports to Europe and the United States not only has a large quantity and concentrated in high energy consumption products.In 2008, China to the United States, the EU exports of goods to mechanical and

China's economic development, although rapid, but due to a late start, in industrial structure and technology progress in relatively developed countries has been at a disadvantage, of foreign trade products are mostly low-end high carbon products. Carbon tariff will make our country should assume the responsibility of emissions, but also bear the risk of economic contraction. This is very unfair to the developing …show more content…
Now the economy in major developed countries have entered the era of information economy, stood on the rostrum of the moral moral of the victims of the majority of developing countries to promote the protection of the ecological environment, establish environment image of the leader, in my opinion is really a quite shameful act. But separate and inequality at the same time, I think we must also is such a reality is our country does exist at present high carbon emissions, extensive energy problem, in a certain extent seems to exist past shadow in developed countries. So we have to work hard to deal with the international economic situation, to find some reasons. Our country should make efforts to do the following aspects 1, Technological innovation
In the export trade, small and medium-sized enterprises of our country exist technology with low added value, lack of independent innovation "mishap". So at present in China to do is to improve the traditional energy use patterns, accelerate renewable energy of cultivation, reduce industrial sector energy intensity and carbon emission intensity, promote innovative energy-saving emission reduction. 2, The implementation
