Abstract: Based on the measure of high-tech industrial structure rationalization and the sophistication in Chi-na during 2005~2014, analyzing evolution of China's high-tech industry structure. Empirical study on the im-pact of China's high-tech industry structure factors by the gray correlation model. Results show that the ratio-nalization of high-tech industrial structure has a lager correlation degree with the science and technology in-novation ability, and sophistication of high-tech industrial structure has high-grade correlation with fixed as-set investment, the opening degree, policy support. Therefore, the driving factors of high-tech industrial struc-ture rationalization and the sophistication exist significant differences. In order to further promote the optimi-zation and upgrading of high-tech industrial structure, we suggest, to distinguish the general trade and processing trade on high-tech products import and export policy; R&D and independent innovation of local high-tech enterprises need to be given more attention and support; and foreign strategy on high-tech industry should be reviewed.
