China's manufacturing industry faces the multiple goals of balanced, coordinated and sustainable development. This paper clarifies the connotation of balanced, coordinated and sustainable development of the manufacturing industry from regional structure, industrial structure and development structure. The level of balanced, coordinated and sustainable development of the manufacturing industry is measured using various methods such as index construction model, coupled coordination model and objective assignment method. The temporal and spatial evolution characteristics of the balanced, coordinated and sustainable development of the manufacturing industry are analysed. The following conclusions were obtained: the overall level of manufacturing equilibrium in the east is high, and the level of manufacturing equilibrium in the west and northeast is low. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the level of manufacturing development in the central and western regions through industrial transfer and other means. The overall coordination level of manufacturing industry shows a clear upward trend. The coordination level of manufacturing industry in the east ranks first among the four regions, and the coordination level of manufacturing industry in the west has made the most obvious progress. The overall level of sustainable development of the manufacturing industry is on an upward trend, with the highest level of sustainable development of the manufacturing industry in the east and a relatively low level of sustainable development in the west. There is a need to achieve sustainable development of the manufacturing industry by promoting the integration and development of the digital economy and the manufacturing industry.
中国制造业面临着平衡、协调和可持续发展的多重目标。本文从区域结构、产业结构和发展结构等方面阐明了制造业平衡、协调和可持续发展的内涵。运用指标构建模型、耦合协调模型和目标赋值法等多种方法测度了制造业平衡、协调和可持续发展水平。分析了制造业平衡、协调和可持续发展的时空演变特征。得出以下结论：东部地区制造业均衡总体水平较高，中西部和东北地区制造业均衡水平较低。因此，有必要通过产业转移等手段提升中西部地区制造业发展水平。制造业总体协调水平呈明显上升趋势。东部地区制造业协调水平在四大区域中排名第一，西部地区制造业协调水平进步最为明显。制造业可持续发展总体水平呈上升趋势，东部地区制造业可持续发展水平最高，西部地区相对较低。需要通过推动数字经济与制造业融合发展来实现制造业的可持续发展。
