Abstract: Five years have passed since Japan issued the Positive List System. Based on previous related studies, we here analyze the data on China,s food exports to Japan over the past decade which could be divided into three stages according to trade volume. Meanwhile, the reasons for changes in the trade volume of each stage are discussed. In conclusion, the Positive List System had some negative effects on our food exports to Japan initially, but those effects are fading now. This is a normal performance of green barrier,s timeliness. It also reflects Chinese advancements in treating the system.
