This paper measures the changes of product structure of China’s import of goods and the revealed comparative advantages of imported products in Chinese market. The result shows that: (1)The share of non-agricultural primary products in China’s total imports has risen greatly, and the share of low-tech products has fallen sharply. From the perspective of the share of China’s import in worldwide imports, in addition to the low-tech products, the share of other types of products has increased significantly, while the share of non-agricultural primary products has increased the most. Compared with the world’s import structure, China has imported more non-agricultural primary products. However, the share of medium-high-tech products, high-tech products and ultra-high-tech products in China’s total imports are relatively less. (2) Both the number of products that have comparative advantages in Chinese market and the level of comparative advantages have declined. Among them, the number of low-tech products, medium-low-tech products, medium-tech products and medium-high-tech products that have comparative advantages has declined the most. The level of comparative advantages of these four types of products has also dropped the most. However, the number of products from American market that have comparative advantages in Chinese market has increased. The number of medium-high-tech products, high-tech products and ultra-high-tech products from American market that have comparative advantages in Chinese market has increased.
