In this episode, we’re looking at the top of environmental standards for different industries in China, and in particular talking to Prof. Yixian Sun of the University of Bath in the U.K. about the findings of his new book published by MIT Press: Certifying China: The Rise and Limits of Transnational Sustainability Governance in Emerging Economies.

在本期节目中，我们将聚焦中国不同行业的环保标准，并与英国巴斯大学的孙一先教授就他在麻省理工学院出版社出版的新书《认证中国：新兴经济体跨国可持续治理的兴起与局限》展开讨论。

The book explores the potential and limits of transnational eco-certification in moving the world's most populous country toward sustainable consumption and production. Dr. Sun identifies the forces that drive companies from three sectors—seafood, palm oil, and tea—to embrace eco-certification. The success of eco-certification, Dr. Sun says, will depend on the extent to which it wins the support of domestic actors in fast-growing emerging economies. In this episode, we cover the topics of certification in seafood, palm oil, and tea, and go into the factors that accounted for the relative success of international certification in the seafood sector, whereas palm oil and tea have seen less success.

这本书探讨了跨国生态认证在推动新兴经济体走向可持续生产和消费方面的潜能和局限性。孙博士在书中讨论了海产品、棕榈油和茶这三个行业。孙博士认为，生态认证的成功取决于国内参与者的支持。在本集播客中，我们将讨论海产品、棕榈油和茶的生态认证，并探讨海产品行业在国际认证中相比棕榈油和茶更为成功的背后原因。
