Abstract: Green and low-carbon transformation is a key measure of achieving highquality development of the “the Belt and Road”. High-end manufacturing export and digital transformation influences emission reduction of the “the Belt and Road”. Based on the trade data of 91 high-end manufacturing products, this paper constructs a four-dimensional dataset of “year / industry / exporter / importer”, forms the “the Belt and Road” high-end manufacturing export network matrix, measures the embeddedness of countries from network participation to control ability, and analyzes the relationship between embeddedness, digital transformation and carbon emissions. The results show that the improvement of the participation of countries along the “the Belt and Road” in high-end manufacturing trade networks significantly increases carbon emissions, and the improvement of control capability and digital transformation reduces carbon emissions. The digital transformation of high-end manufacturing industry has strengthened the increasing effect of network participation on carbon emissions of the “the Belt and Road”, and strengthened the emission reduction effect of control capability. Developing countries' deep participation in the “the Belt and Road” high-end manufacturing trade network can cause emission reduction. The impact of high-end manufacturing export network embeddedness and digital transformation on carbon emissions of the “the Belt and Road” has three transmission mechanisms: scale effect, energy structure and technology level. This paper provides a theoretical basis to reducing carbon emissions of the “the Belt and Road”, and proposes scientific and feasible policies.
