Based on multiple micro databases involving Chinese manufacturing enterprises and World Input-Output Database, this article investigates the impact of China’s servitization export technological sophistication from 2000 to 2010. The results show that has an inverted U-shaped sophistication. From perspective heterogeneity at enterprise level industry level, for mixed trade enterprises, central western located domestic foreign knowledge-intensive industries, nonlinear is in promotion range. Besides, with service input source sophistication, consumption-oriented production-oriented have a promoting effect. Servitization financial technical research development effect, while transportation Overall global value chain participation simple positive moderating effect impact, especially lower production efficiency. Mechanism analysis confirms "spillover" "cost" are important channels promote
