In the21st century high-tech (short for "High-technology") is becoming an important force in promoting the development of economy. Lots of practices in developed countries and regions have fully demonstrated that the development of high-tech industry is the trend of the time. Along with the development of economy and the complication of labor division, the high-tech will play a more important role in the growth of economy, in the meantime it will have kind of effect on the development of the manufacturing in the future. High-tech now has already become a subject which attracts lots of scholars'attention to study and analyze. This paper also concentrates on the high-tech and does some deeper research from the system theory.In many developed countries, high-tech industry has become the main force of the economic growth. However, as the high-tech in China starts later than the developed countries, there is a huge gap between the developed countries and China in this field. The gap has a more significant strategic meaning for China. To make things worse, the development of the high-tech industry in China are different among regions. The study of the imbalances among the regions has great theoretical and practical significance both in the deeper research between the relationship of high-tech and the growth of economy, and offer advices to enhance the situation of the regional imbalance.This paper analyzes the evolution of the high-tech industry through intergrating use of the intergration of normative and empirical, qualitative and quantitative research methods and integration of self-organization theory, evolutionary economics and other theoretical knowledge. The paper has carried on the detailed exposition to the definition of the high-tech industry system and its characteristics, evolution track of the high-tech industry system, as well as the self-organization of the high-tech industry's evolution. Based on these, analysis the stage of which China's high-tech industry evolution is in the logistic curve, and provide further empirical analysis of the current situation of China's high-tech industry by using the factor analysis.Combined the cross-sectional data in2009, established an evaluation system of the development of the high-tech industry. By means of the factor analysis we have studied the state of the high-tech industry in30provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China (Tibet Autonomous Region is excluded). The assessment of the indicators of high-tech industry's development can be divided into two aspects. One is the development of economics, another is the ability of technical innovation. Then select6secondary indicators from the two aspects. Therefore, the evaluation system includes12indicators totally. By factor analysis the12indicators are represented by3common factors. At last judge the high-tech industry development of the30provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions by calculating the combined scores. In the paper we find out that the development of high-tech in China is significantly imbalance among different regions. The overall development of the eastern regions is much better than central and western regions, while the gap between the central and western regions is relatively smaller. In addition, the development of high-tech within the region is also non-uniformity. Even the provinces which have a high combined score are not balanced in all of the indicators, they are also internal inconsistencies.Through systematic analysis we get the following conclusions. First, the high-tech industry of China is a self-organization system which is far from equilibrium. Second, the evolution of the high-tech industry system is not completely self-organization, hetero-organization also play an important role in the evolution of high-tech industry system. Third, the high-tech industry is sensitive dependence on initial conditions. In the last part of the paper, we state our advices on how to improve our high-tech industry. Firstly, the opening up of China's high-tech industry system should be improved. Government should develop a series of policies which can benefit the development of the high-tech industry system, and encourage the exchange of materials, energies and information resources between the China high-tech industry system and external high-tech industry system. Secondly, government should break the geographical discrimination, in order to solve the problem of the unbalance of the high-tech industry and the non-consistency of the subsystem. The most important of all is that we should focus on the development of innovation, and establish our own brand, then finally to achieve the super-cycle.
