“…Environmental imbalance is an unavoidable problem in China's industrialization process [6], and the digital economy, as an important engine for China's high-quality economic development [7,8], advocates for the construction of a resource-saving and environmentally friendly economic development model [9], putting forward new requirements for the problems of "high pollution, high emissions and low efficiency" that exist in China's traditional industrial structure. Research shows that the digital economy mainly promotes the efficient use of resources in each region through enabling technological innovation and relying on core domain technologies such as the Internet and artificial intelligence [10], and achieves coordinated regional development with real-time, interactive and open characteristics.…”

The digital economy and environmental regulation are important drivers of sustainable development, and exploring the coupling of the three is important for promoting the coordinated development of regional economy, society and environment. However, integrating the three into the same system and evaluating their coupling and coordination has been little studied in academia. This research employs the entropy method with objective weighting to measure the levels of digital economy, environmental regulation and sustainable development in 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) in China from 2011 to 2020, invokes the concept of coupling in physics, constructs a coupling coordination degree model and identifies the spatial and temporal divergence characteristics of the coupled and coordinated development of the three subsystems. The results of the study demonstrate that: (1) the levels of digital economy, environmental regulation and sustainable development reveal a fluctuating trend of growth, with environmental regulation having the highest overall level; (2) there are spatial and temporal differences in the degree of coupling and coordination of the three subsystems, with a national coupling and coordination degree at the temporal level lying between moderate and good coordination, and showing a “W”-shaped upward trend in general and a “chain” at the spatial level; (3) There is a significant spatial autocorrelation in the degree of coupling coordination, with a localized “high–high” and “high–high” pattern. Based on the above results, the article concludes with suggestions to enhance the development level of each subsystem, providing thoughts for the improvement of the coupling and coordination degree of the three in the later stage.

The purpose of this research is to study the changes in the market structure of China’s pulp and paper product imports. In particular, the import trade environment and market layout of Chinese pulp and paper products have changed under the international context of the coronavirus pandemic and the Sino-US trade dispute and the domestic policy context of zero imports of Chinese waste paper. This study attempts to fill the gap regarding the influencing factors of market structure, while contributing new ideas on China’s trade in pulp and paper products. Based on pulp and paper product import and export trade data from 2005 to 2021, a trade gravity model was used to explore the changes in the share of China’s trade partners for pulp and paper product imports and their influencing factors. The results indicated that the outbreak of COVID-19 led to a significant increase in China’s imports of packaging paper products, bringing about an increase in Indonesia’s status as a partner in China’s pulp and paper product trade. The US-China trade dispute had an impact on pulp and paper product trade between the two countries, with China’s tax countermeasures causing the US to lose its status as a trading partner in China for pulp and paper product imports. The center of gravity for paper product imports has moved from the US and Japan to Indonesia and Russia. The restrictions on waste paper imports have shifted the focus of China’s paper raw material imports, with the US no longer being the main importer of China’s paper raw materials. Specifically, the main importers of wood pulp are Brazil and Chile, while the main importers of waste paper pulp are Thailand and Malaysia. In the future, China needs to continuously strengthen dialogue with the United States to resolve trade disputes and create a favorable environment for trade in pulp and paper products. At the same time, China’s paper enterprises should strengthen the expansion of the Southeast Asian market and reduce dependence on the US market, and China should continue to improve the waste paper recycling system and improve the utilization rate of domestic waste paper.
