Abstract This paper uses the micro trade data to measure the quality of the export products of China’s local firms. It indicates that China’s local firms’ export product quality shows a downward trend after joining WTO. The product quality of the private firms is significantly lower than that of the state-owned firms, and the product quality of the Chinese export to the developed country is higher than that of the developing countries, but the product quality of export to the developed countries has greatly decreased. Therefore, the decline in the quality of export products is mainly due to the rapid increase in the market share of private enterprises’ exports, the effect of which is larger for countries with lower income and products with higher technology level.
