Abstract—As Chinese manufacturing firms may be involved in both export and domestic markets, it is possible that RMB exchange rate will affect the competitive position of enterprises in the global market which is mainly reflected in their embeddedness in global value chains. This paper will verify the influence and explore its path. Method: In this paper, the RMB/USD exchange rate is used as a characterizing variable in the foreign exchange market, and correlation analysis, regression analysis, mechanism analysis and subgroup regression are used to explore its impact on the embeddedness of Chinese manufacturing firms in global value chains, and to identify a reliable path of influence in order to propose policy recommendations and corporate strategies to face the foreign exchange market. Conclusion: The appreciation and fluctuation of RMB exchange rate both have negative impact on the embeddedness of Chinese manufacturing firms in global value chains during which process, FDI is a mediating effect.
Keywords—RMB exchange rate, FDI, mediating effect, subgroup regression
