The pollution generated by the application of plastics has caused long-term harm to the global ecological environment
.
As the world's largest country in the production, use, export and import of plastics, China can take the initiative to assume the responsibility of a major country in the current trend of banning plastics in the world.
Promote the prevention and control of plastic pollution, and actively promote the formation of global unified rules and action programs
.
Plastic pollution prevention and control has become a new consensus in global governance
Plastic pollution prevention and control has become a new consensus in global governanceThe United Nations has been paying attention to plastic pollution since 2011.
In 2018, it officially announced the launch of a global anti-plastic pollution action
.
The "Xiangyanghong 06" scientific research vessel arrived in Qingdao on December 1, 2017 after returning from the investigation of the polymetallic nodule mining area in the East Pacific Ocean
.
After the meeting, relevant countries and regions have taken a series of actions

Plastic pollution prevention is a strategic need
Plastic pollution prevention is a strategic needXu Zhengzhong, deputy dean of the Institute of International Strategy of the Central Party School, believes that although many countries have taken measures to ban plastics and some international cooperation platforms have issued joint action initiatives, the prevention and control of plastic pollution has not yet formed global unified rules and actions
.
First, show China's leading role in promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and the construction of an ecologically civilized and beautiful world
.
Second, the institutional strategy is embedded in the vacuum zone of world power, which shows China's positive stance against unilateralism and safeguarding the multilateral system
.
Third, actively promote the values of China's ecological civilization and promote the concept of green development in the world
.
In recent years, with the rapid growth of China's economy, the use of plastic packaging has increased dramatically, and the problem of plastic pollution has become increasingly prominent
.
According to research, 84% and 68% of the floating garbage on the sea and beach in China are waste plastics
.
At the same time, China has received a large amount of "foreign garbage", including more than 45% of the world's plastic waste, and bears a lot of "hidden" environmental costs in the process of global trade
.
Properly solving the problem of plastic pollution, internal and external linkages, and multi-point policies will have a good demonstration effect on jointly building a beautiful home with a good ecology
.
Finally, it is conducive to promoting the sustainable development of China's plastics industry and trade
.
To carry out relevant discussions and cooperation is not to ban plastic trade, but to promote the development and recycling of environmentally friendly plastics industry from the perspective of environmental protection
.
In view of the global competitive advantage of China's plastics industry, further improving the market access quality requirements of plastic products can not only promote industrial restructuring and upgrading, but also win greater market opportunities
.
At the same time, various countries have different standards for banning plastics, which objectively constitutes an obstacle to plastic trade.
Promoting relevant discussions in the WTO is conducive to regulating the international trade order of environmental products and creating a more favorable market environment for China's plastics industry

Li Li, Associate Researcher of the Institute of International Economics, University of International Business and Economics; Experts such as Dr.
Jin Yi from the International Science and Technology Cooperation Strategic Research Center suggested that since disposable plastic shopping bags have become the focus of global plastic pollution prevention and control, and China's plastic shopping bag industry is not large, plastic woven bags (except turnover bags) will be exported in 2018.
The amount is more than 1 billion US dollars, and the import is about 168 million US dollars.
The relevant impact is controllable.
China can consider relevant discussions to limit or even ban the use of single-use plastic shopping bags and import and export trade as the entry point and primary goal, and then gradually expand to other times.

In order to enhance China's ability to set new issues in the international governance framework and expand its international strategic influence, it can discuss with interested members under the WTO framework, and jointly promote the efforts of all parties to deal with marine plastic pollution through trade-side cooperation.
A clean and beautiful world shows that, as a major producer and trader, China is highly concerned about marine plastic pollution, emphasizing that China has always advocated global cooperation to jointly address global challenges

At the same time, China should start relevant technical discussions with other interested members at the WTO as soon as possible, gradually attract more members to participate, and strive to issue a ministerial statement at the 12th WTO Ministerial Conference in June 2020, on the WTO Propose specific measures to deal with plastic pollution
