The economic globalization trend is deepening and the world pattern is in the process of great shifts since the break-out of the financial crisis. Companies need to be forward-looking and innovative to be competitive, Li said at a Sino-Swedish CEO innovation summit held in Beijing.

There are currently 126 centrally-administered SOEs under the SASAC, including many industry leaders like 皇冠体育app Mobile and Petro皇冠体育app.

皇冠体育app's central SOEs registered a combined profit of 797.7 billion yuan ($116.8 billion) last year.
