Against the dual background of global industrial chain restructuring and the strategy of “self-control,” cross-regional innovation collaboration among advanced manufacturing clusters has become a key pathway for building a self-controlled industrial chain. Based on the division of labor pattern within the National Value Chain, this paper systematically analyzes the internal mechanisms through which advanced manufacturing clusters achieve cross-regional innovation collaboration to build a self-controlled industrial chain. The findings reveal that: the “innovative hub–transformation pivot–manufacturing foundation” three-stage division of labor formed by the eastern, central, and western regions based on comparative advantages serves as the realistic foundation and spatial carrier for cross-regional collaboration to build a self-controlled industrial chain; innovation collaboration follows the phased evolution pattern of “traction–embedding → two-way feedback → systematic symbiosis,” with each stage corresponding to the progressive upgrading of self-control capability from “basic supporting capacity” to “systemic autonomous capacity” to “ecological leadership capacity” and ultimately to “rule-defining capacity”; the driving force of collaboration originates from the four-layer coupling of national strategy, local governments, cluster (or cross-cluster) networks, and corporate entities, with each layer responding to different levels of demand for industrial chain self-control; and driving strategies must match the life-cycle stages to effectively promote the continuous upgrading of industrial chain self-control. The “foundation–evolution–driving force” three-dimensional analytical framework constructed in this paper provides a systematic theoretical explanation for understanding cross-regional innovation collaboration of advanced manufacturing clusters and industrial chain self-control.
