Abstract:The commodity classification is conducted according to trade products technological classification system proposed by Lall(2000), furthermore, the international market sharing(MS), revealed comparative advantage(RCA)index, trade competence(TC)index and intra-industry trade(IIT)index of 10 types of the commodities of China during 1995—2012 are calculated. The analysis shows that the technical structure and trade competitiveness of China exported products is significantly promoted, that the export of medium and hi-tech products makes breakthrough while products of low technology still remain competitive, and “market for technologies” strategy is basically successful. However, the competitiveness of commodity trade mainly lies in low labor cost, furthermore, the industrial agglomeration degree of the exported products is too high and these products still stay at the low end of the global value chain. Thus, China should boost the development of all kinds of hi-tech industries, struggle for the high end of their value chain, especially make breakthrough in some medium and hi-tech industries and promote the trade competence.
