SOE Reform Time Line
1979-84: Certain powers and decision making rights are given to State-Run-Enterprises and this was seen as the initial step to reform.
1985-93: The concept of owning, but not managing daily business was introduced with the responsibility system of contracted management and lease systems. Companies began to transform from State-Run-Enterprises to State-Owned-Enterprises (SOE).
1993: The National People's Congress (NPC) introduced a Corporate Law system, which gave legal rights different ownership structures and clear property rights.
1999: The Chinese Communist Party Central Committee put forward that SOEs should attempt to diversify their shareholders. The role of non-public owned economy with a private sector was formally confirmed.
2003: The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) was created to perform the responsibilities of investors and pushes forward reform and restructuring of state-owned enterprises. It supervises the preservation of the value of state-owned assets for enterprises under its supervision, and enhances the management.
December 2006: The SASAC announced that it would maintain controlling positions in some crucial State-Owned-Enterprises. These sectors included armaments, power generation/distribution, oil/petrochemicals, telecommunications, coal, aviation and shipping. The SASAC’s goal is to maintain “between 30 and 50 internationally competitive conglomerates with intellectual property and famous brand names."
