Recommendation

The Chinese government has released dozens of plans to back state-owned enterprise (SOE) reforms since the 3rd Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 2013, but four years later, the reforms remain difficult to implement and far from achieving their desired outcomes. Siping Zhang, the Chairman of Shenzhen Innovation and Development Institute, identifies SOEs that still need major structural reforms and proposes strategies to allow underperforming organizations to gradually exit the market. getAbstract recommends this article to those curious about crucial issues involved in China’s SOE reform progress.

Take-Aways

  • Few Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are actively engaged in reform despite the government’s push for change.
  • The government should shut down “zombie companies” – SOEs that are in highly competitive industries and close to bankruptcy.
  • Then the government should encourage reorganization of the remaining SOEs to make them competitive.
