Developed countries put forward carbon motivated border tax adjustments (BTAs in brief), which is a new kind of trade barrier. As the second exporter in the world, China´s export volume of high energy-consuming products has increased largely recently. And conditions of energy utilization efficiency and implicit carbon emission are not satisfied. To levy BTAs will worsen China´s export environment, reduce export value of some products and change export structure. Therefore, China should take following measures: first, to utilize positively the WTO law mechanism, participate in constituting rules of international weather change and levitation of BTAs; Secondly, to cultivate new energy industries; Thirdly, to develop service industries in order to fasten industrial transconformation and updating; Fourthly, to conduct tests to levy BTAs in some selected high energy-consuming industries; Finally, to integrate supply chain to lower operating cost.
