The level of manufacturing development in the global value chain determines the status of a country in the international division of labor,which is reflected in the foreign trade's concentrated ability as a country's profitability.Nowadays,the party's 19 th National Congress report clearly puts forward the strategic plan of “promoting China's industry to move towards the high-end of the global value chain and cultivating some world-class advanced manufacturing clusters.”Then,as China's largest exporter,how can China accurately identify its position in international division of labor? And how can China,as a large developing country,break through the technology and market blockade from developed countries to climb the high-end of global value chain?Based on the total export value-added decomposition model,this paper uses the latest data of TiVA database to measure the global value chain status index and participation index of China's manufacturing industry,industry and technology level from 1995 to 2014.Through statistical analysis,it is found that the proportion of China's total manufacturing exports in China's total export value is lower than that of developed economies in the same period,and the status of division of labor is low.However,the global value chain status index shows a “W-shaped” change trend and gradually climbs along the high-end position;Secondly,China's manufacturing participation is relatively high,but from the global value chain participation index ranking trend map,its world ranking will gradually decline,and the global value chain status index will gradually increase;From the perspective of sub-sectors,the global value chain status index of 16 sub-sectors has shown a “U-shaped” trend since 2009,and the global value-chain participation index has shown a “shrinking” steady change;Finally,the level of manufacturing technology is negatively correlated with the global value chain status index and positively correlated with the global value chain engagement index.In order to further study the impact of various influencing factors on the upgrading of China's manufacturing industry,this paper conducts an empirical analysis by constructing an econometric model.The results show that foreign direct investment has significantly hindered the upgrading of China's manufacturing industry under the global value chain,which is not conducive to China's manufacturing industry climbing the high-end of the global value chain;The development of foreign direct investment has significantly promoted the upgrading of manufacturing,but its promotion intensity is less than Foreign direct investment hinders the intensity;Carrying out scientific and technological research and development and opening up to the outside world can significantly promote the upgrading of China's manufacturing industry;Human capital has not passed the significant test and the coefficient is negative,which indirectly indicates that China's human capital level has not reached the threshold of promoting industrial upgrading,and even shows certain The inhibition,which may also be caused by the unreasonable allocation of resources in the labor market in China.To this end,this paper proposes the following three countermeasures: 1.Improve the quality of attracting investment and encourage foreign investment;2.Support enterprise innovation activities and provide a good business environment;3.Emphasize talent cultivation and rationally allocate labor resources.
