Research on International Trade Problems and Improvement Plans of China’s Photovoltaic Industry

Abstract

In the context of global energy transformation, China’s photovoltaic industry has experienced explosive growth and two major crises. It has ushered in stable development amidst ups and downs, and has the advantages of industrial clusters, economies of scale and latecomer advantages. However, under the post-epidemic global new cold war situation, China’s photovoltaic industry is also facing many problems in international trade, such as international logistics obstruction, green trade barriers, low-price competition, local trade protection in target countries, and so on. This article will start from the comparative advantage theory to analyze the problem, and propose how to transform the comparative advantage into a competitive advantage to solve the problem, so as to enhance the competitiveness of China’s photovoltaic industry in international trade.
