Industry chain resilience is an important content to improve the modernization level of industry chain and build a modernized industrial system. The article constructs a comprehensive indicator system from four dimensions: resistance, recovery, integration, and transformation capabilities of the manufacturing industry chain, adopts entropy value method to measure the manufacturing industry chain resilience level of China's 29 provinces from 2012 to 2022, and analyzes China's regional difference characteristics by using Dagum Gini coefficient method. The results of the study show that: overall resilience of China's manufacturing industry chain is steadily increasing, but the resilience level of the manufacturing industry chain in various regions is not high; there is a non-equilibrium in the development of the industry chain in the three regions, and the industry chain resilience level as a whole shows the spatial pattern of "east high and west low"; According to the contribution rate results, inter-regional differences are the main source of the gap in the resilience level of the manufacturing industry chain, and the regional differences have a tendency to expand slowly. This paper enriches the research on the empirical level of industry chain resilience and provides reference for the modernization of China's industry chain and the safe and stable development of the industry chain.
