| Since the reform and opening up,China has taken part in the division of labor in the global value chain by virtue of its own advantages,achieved tremendous development in the manufacturing sector,and greatly improved its national economy and overall national strength.However,in recent years,the growth rate of China’s manufacturing industry has gradually slowed down.Meanwhile,under the tide of anti-globalization,developed countries have adopted manufacturing reflux policies and implemented trade protectionism,and the global value chain is in a period of reconstruction.The report of the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to "accelerate the building of a strong manufacturing country,accelerate the development of advanced manufacturing,promote China’s industry to the middle and high end of the global value chain,and cultivate several world-class advanced manufacturing clusters".The 20 National Congress of the Communist Party of China further emphasized the development of a strategic plan to promote high-end and intelligent manufacturing.Therefore,we should seize the opportunity of global value chain reconstruction,accelerate the transformation and upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry,and improve the position of China’s manufacturing industry in the global value chain.However,the global value chain of manufacturing industry is affected by capital,technology,market,environment and other diversified factors,and different industries also have some differences.Therefore,from the perspective of global value chain,this paper explores the multiple concurrent causal relationships behind the factors influencing the transformation and upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry,and proposes diversified ways to improve the status of manufacturing industry in global value chain for different industries.Firstly,related literature on the factors affecting the transformation and upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry from the perspective of global value chain is reviewed.Secondly,it analyzes the development status of China’s manufacturing industry and measures the global value chain status index of China’s manufacturing industry.Then,fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis(fsQCA)was used to analyze the linkage effect of factors affecting the position of manufacturing industry in global value chain,and the multiple paths to enhance the position of manufacturing industry in global value chain were extracted according to different configuration types.Finally,based on the empirical conclusions,this paper puts forward some policy suggestions to enhance the position of China’s manufacturing industry in global value chain.The empirical results show that:(1)the global value chain position index of Chinese manufacturing industry presents a V-shaped development trend from 2000 to2018.Our country manufacturing industry GVC position index decreased continuously from 2000 to 2004,and the lowest in 2004 was 0.1489;From 2004 to2018,the GVC status index of Chinese manufacturing industry showed an increasing trend,and reached the highest in 2016,with the calculated value of 0.2865.(2)The change of global value chain position index of 13 sub-sectors during 2000-2018 can be divided into three categories: stable industries,fluctuating industries and rising industries,with obvious industry heterogeneity.(3)The influencing factors of global value chain position of Chinese manufacturing industry are compound,and linkage is needed to better explain the occurrence of outcome variables.The configuration results show that there are five configurations of equivalent paths,which can be summarized as "supply + demand + environment","supply + demand","supply +environment","supply" and "environment".(4)The configuration types that achieve high manufacturing value chain position and lead to non-high manufacturing value chain position are asymmetrical.Different combinations of supply,demand,and environmental conditions have many consequences.(5)Supply and environment factors are the necessary conditions for Chinese manufacturing industry to realize the position of high global value chain.Finally,based on the research results and multiple upgrading paths,suggestions are proposed: deepen supply side reform and improve the industrial structure of the manufacturing industry;create a good institutional environment to support the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry;optimize the environment for introducing foreign capital and steadily expand opening up;pay attention to the combination of different factors and broaden the thinking of transformation and upgrading;select the path for upgrading the high value chain based on different industry types. |
