Intermediate investment in producer services is an effective way to promote the manufacturing industry to climb the global value chain. This paper uses the export added value data of OECD-TiVA database to calculate the export technical complexity of 17 types of manufacturing industries in China, so as to measure the position of various industries in the value chain, and empirically test the impact of producer services import on the promotion of the position of China's manufacturing value chain. The results show that producer services import has a significant positive impact on the promotion of China's manufacturing value chain, and the promotion effect has industry heterogeneity. In the labor-intensive manufacturing industry, the import of producer services plays the strongest role in promoting the rise of its value chain, followed by the capital intensive manufacturing industry.
