Deepening globalization and the development of science and technology provide the necessary conditions for enterprises in various countries and regions worldwide allocation of resources, which also brought prosperity and development of international trade in recent years. Since reform and opening up, Chinese foreign trade industries are rapidly developing as an important driving Chinese economic development engine. With the changing of Chinese factor endowment, as well as the continuous adjustment of the global industrial distribution, and improve the structure of Chinese exports:In this paper, through analysis Chinese foreign trade statistics since 1980, we know that Chinese export sector has experienced mainly three stages from the resource-intensive, labor-intensive and capital-and technology-intensive. based on the export competitiveness (TC index) analysis of Chinese current export structure, we concluded that Chinese export structure is characterized by a relatively small proportion of resource-intensive products but also in the international competition at a comparative disadvantage; labor-intensive products accounted for a larger proportion, showing a more a strong competitive advantage; the proportion of capital-and technology-intensive products has increased steadily, and is a comparative disadvantage to comparative advantage by the change. Based on this fact, the upgrade of Chinese export mix factors affecting the theoretical and empirical analysis that the escalation of Chinese export mix there are four major reasons:Chinese changes in the structure factor, technological progress, foreign investment in China and exchange rate changes.Although Chinese foreign trade industry has been significant progress, but we should see that Chinese foreign trade structure still faces some problems, particularly in the second half of 2008 global economic crisis, Chinese foreign trade industry has suffer a huge impact on industry, specifically the performance of for the continuous decline in exports, the main trading partners for Chinese anti-dumping and countervailing investigations continued, seriously hampered the development of Chinese foreign trade industry.
