Abstract With the environment MRIO model, this paper calculated and compared the balance of carbon emissions embodied in trade and the value-added balance of trade between China and 36 countries or districts, and comprehensively disclosed the relations between trade benefits and the carbon emissions embodied in trade. The main results include: first, China's carbon emissions embodied in trade and value-added trade are both surplus and increase synchronously, indicating that China received trade benefits and net carbon emissions inflow simultaneously. Secondly, the carbon emissions embodied in trade and in value-added trade are double surpluses between China and 26 countries or districts and double deficits between China and Taiwan and Indonesia. The relations between carbon emission inflows (or outflows) and trade benefits (or loss) caused by bilateral trade with these countries and districts are complementary. To Russian and India, China's value-added trade is surplus and carbon emissions embodied in trade is deficit. China obtains trade benefit and environmental improvement simultaneously. To six countries, including Germany, China's value-added trade is deficit and carbon emissions embodied in trade is surplus. China obtains trade loss and environmental deterioration simultaneously. Finally, after monetization of China's carbon emissions embodied in trade, its proportion in China's value-added trade is different according to different countries or districts. Totally, China's trade with developing countries or districts has higher carbon emission efficiency.
