Abstract

This article assesses the feasibility of introducing a carbon tax in China to complement existing environmental taxes and the emission trading system (ETS). It argues that a carbon tax could address current policy limitations, respond to the EU Carbon Border Adjustment System (CBAM), and support China’s dual carbon goals through a coherent, legally grounded roadmap.
