Abstract Inspired by Hausman’s method of the export technology level test, this paper calculates the relative export technology level of China to other countries. It constructs the competitive substitution index of these countries relative to China, and analyses the relationship between the competitive substitution index and the relative export technology level of China. The empirical results show that the competitive substitution of the developing economies to China's products, the relative export technology level, the foreign direct investment, the human capital and the innovation ability are beneficial to the improvement of China's export technology level relative to the developing economies, while the competitive substitution index of the developed economies will impede the competitive substitution index of China. The one-step lagged export technology level of China relative to the developing economies, FDI, human capital and innovation ability have a positive effect on the relative export technology level in China. China can improve its export technology by raising the cost of developing economies and improving its innovation capability.
