Abstract Based on the World Bank’s Service Trade Restriction Database and OECD input-output database, this paper studies the impact of production service trade liberalization on the global value chain of manufacturing industry from the perspective of the global value chain length and position. The study results indicate: Although the liberalization of trade in productive services shows a restraining effect on the manufacturing industry global value chain position, the restraining effect is mainly on the processing trade manufacturing industry, and it has a significant positive impact on the status of the non-processing trade manufacturing industry global value chain position. After distinguishing the technical level, it was found that the liberalization of productive service trade showed a restraining effect on low and medium tech manufacturing industry, and had no significant impact on high-tech manufacturing industry. Further studies show that the liberalization of producer services can restrain the promotion of global value chain status through squeezing effect and technology dependence effect.
