The shows that, firstly, China significantly contributes exports. However, long run, has a positive then negative effect with inverted U-shaped curve. Secondly, exports negatively influenced by productivity. Finally, based perspective heterogeneity, impact not significant base regions, but promotion non-industrial regions. Moreover, different coastal port regions non-coastal research results, this paper puts forward targeted policy recommendations changing competition model, increasing introduction talent adjusting structure.
