The examination of reason, performance and historic evolvement of “world manufacturing center status” of the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and Japan and the analysis through “proportional function on world manufacture” reveal that current “world manufacturing center” demonstrates divergent development, that the developed countries with the status of “world manufacturing center” actively participate in the transfer of manufacturing industry, that multi-national corporation plays a more and more obvious role in the process of the transfer of “world manufacturing center” and that the transfer of manufacturing industry is gradient transfer. Meanwhile, global manufacturing industry enters into slow development channel, the developed countries with high income still have the advantage in the field of manufacturing industry. Besides technical innovation, production and management mode is continuously innovated, the integration of manufacture and service is more close, environment protection and energy-saving are more highlighted, and “green manufacture” is focused on. In the “Twelfth-five Years Plan” period, China should take the opportunity and avoid the adverse factors, make use of the new trend of the transfer of “world manufacturing center” to realize China’s industry upgrading and take favorable position in the chain of global manufacturing industry.
