— Central authorities deem the 2020-2022 period a “crucial stage” for SOE reform. Making the state-owned economy more competitive, innovative and resistant to risks is among the major goals they have in mind.
— The transition into modern enterprises is imperative as China continues to level the playing field, creating a fairer competition environment. Key industries, such as energy, railway, automobile, telecommunications and public utilities, have been gradually opened for private and foreign investment.
— Regulators are giving SOE executives more autonomy in making corporate decisions, including drafting annual investment schemes, arranging mixed-ownership reform of subsidiaries, and issuing short-term bonds.
