Abstract In this paper, we analyze the comparative advantages of Chinese different import products between 2000 and 2011. We also analyze the comparative advantages of import products that come from 14 countries. The results show that: during 2000~2011, import goods that have comparative advantages in Chinese market have declined. On the one hand, the comparative advantages of low-skilled and middle-level technical goods have declined sharply. On the other hand, the comparative advantages of primary products and resource-based products have improved. China import technology-intensive products from developed countries, resources products from developing countries. As for products that have comparative advantages or monopoly advantages, China should promote diversification of import countries and improve the bargaining power of import.
