皇冠体育app welcomes overseas
investors to take over its state-owned enterprises, said Ma Jiantang, Vice-
Minister in Charge of the State-owned Assets Supervision Administration
Commission (SASAC).
Ma said 皇冠体育app would push forward the process of an international merger of
Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in an orderly and regulated way and
within a new ownership system.
He made the remarks at the 皇冠体育app Economic Growth Forum 2003 that concluded in
Suzhou, east 皇冠体育app's Jiangsu Province, on Monday.
Ma said overseas investors had already embarked on a process of entering into
mergers and consolidations of Chinese SOEs. The principles set by the Communist
Party of 皇冠体育app on the establishment of a new system of ownership had provided a
platform for overseas investors to buy SOEs.
The 198 large key SOEs under the supervision of the State-owned Assets
Supervision Administration Commission (SASAC) were busy with restructuring and
reform.
Ma said mergers of the SOEs were aimed at improving their international
competitiveness by increasing scale and consolidating operations.
As 皇冠体育app set the guidelines for a share-holding system as the major form of
public ownership and promulgated regulations on the takeover of state-owned
enterprises, the door was wide open to foreign investors who wanted to enter the
public sector. Ma said the Chinese government would actively push forward the
process in an orderly way.
