Abstract

China, as the world's primary manufacturing center, encounters increasing pressures to concurrently strengthen economic competitiveness, improve supply chain resilience, and comply with stringent environmental sustainability requirements. While current literature offers specialized and effective models for optimizing either economic strategies (e.g., Port-Industry-City integration via the Coupling Coordination Degree Model [CCDM]) or environmental performance (e.g., Super-DEA model for green transformation efficiency), a significant research gap persists: the lack of a comprehensive, quantitative, and spatially explicit management framework that effectively integrates and balances the inherent trade-offs between regional economic development and environmental sustainability. To address a significant research gap, namely, the lack of a comprehensive, quantitative, and spatially explicit management framework that effectively integrates and balances the inherent trade-offs between regional economic development and environmental sustainability in a major global manufacturing center like China. This study utilizes a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, to synthesize existing evidence and classify the strategic frameworks presently shaping China's trade management. The analysis delineates four primary strategic models: 1) The Green Transformation Efficiency Strategy, which employs metrics such as Super-DEA to assess operational and environmental efficiency; 2) The Industrial Chain Resilience Strategy, which establishes frameworks for risk identification, resilience development, and cost recovery in response to external shocks; 3) The Green Trade Barrier Mitigation Strategy, utilizing game-theoretic models to determine optimal recycling and remanufacturing decisions within mechanisms such as CBAM; and 4) The Port and Inter-Industry Integration Strategy, leveraging CCDM to enhance trade flow optimization through Port-Industry-City integration. The findings delineate the present strategic landscape, affirming that China's management system functions via segmented, specialized frameworks. This research emphasizes the critical need to develop a comprehensive, multi-dimensional strategic management framework that explicitly considers the economic-environmental trade-offs, which is essential for preserving China's stable standing in global trade amid escalating geopolitical and climate challenges.
