Since China joined the WTO in 2001, the Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Measures turned into one of the most important elements affecting the fruit export of China. Meanwhile, according to the New New Trade Theory, the export volume could be influenced by both the trade volume of exporting goods (intensive margin, IM) and the varieties of exporting goods (extensive margin, EM). The main result shows that the number of the SPS has a positive influence in China's fruit trade. And the effect of SPS toward IM is bigger than the EM.
