The empirical results indicate that have a substantially nonlinear nexus. promoting offset even transformed into an inhibiting effect degree rises; is, alters plays considerable part reduction China. Additionally, temporal variations analysis indicates positive exerted decreases gradually time goes on. terms spatial variations, eastern area with higher levels exerts least impacts emissions. findings it government lay down effective environmental protection policies stimulate enthusiasm social entities.
