Abstract This paper first constructs a theoretical framework that influences the "Made in China" upgrade from the perspective of green technology progress embedded in the division of global value chain.On the basis of this, the author builds the index system of "China Manufacturing" upgrade from the three aspects of the technological content of export products, the height of industry and the carbon productivity of export sector, and then uses 30 provincial sample data to test the green technology progress on the "Made in China" upgrade.Considering that China's manufacturing industry is increasingly integrated into the global production network with the "fragmented" production and "integrated" trade model, we incorporate the realistic background embedded in the global division of the value chain into the green total factor productivity.That is, taking into account the implied energy from foreign intermediate products and the implied energy factor in the export intermediate products, and using the nonradial, nondirectional relaxation measure direction distance function to measure the green total factor productivity in each region.The result of empirical test shows that: "Made in China" upgrade level in the year 2002 to 2015 shows the "pipemaking curve" trend，descending first and then slowly rising, and in accordance with the eastern region, the western region, the central region followed by decreasing.The high level of industry index and the low carbon productivity in the export sector are the main reasons for the low overall "Made in China" upgrade index in the central region. On average, green technological progress has improved the level of "Made in China" upgrades, but there are differences in different energy intensity regions, different economic zones, and different periods.Green technology progress in the energy intensity of high areas, the eastern region and the 2009-2015 period has more significant positive effect on "Made in China" upgrade. Capital intensity and participation in the global value chain division of labor has significantly contributed to the "Made in China" upgrade, but contrary to expectations, the degree of marketization has a negative effect on the "Made in China" upgrade.
