China Unveils Overhaul of Bloated State Sector
Keywords:
Xi Jinping's experience as Communist Party secretary in eastern Zhejiang province, and in running Shanghai, gave him insights on how the private sector had changed the province and the weakness of state run companies; as well as how state run companies operating efficiently such as SAIC in the automobile industry in Shanghai had achieved success by diversified ownership through listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Studying how Singapore's Temasek has provided efficient management of state owned enterprises, which are run like private companies and have private investors and compete in markets; has reinforced the idea in the Communist Party that state ownership in key sectors can be maintained. The idea being adopted is retaining a majority controlling interest for the state at the same time as transformation of state run enterprises to operate similar to private enterprises takes place. The new plan put out by the Communist Party and the State Council, China's cabinet, takes up reform of the large state owned enterprises in China along these lines. The enterprises will take on private investors, list on stock exchanges, and operate like private companies hiring managers at the market rate. The energy, resources and telecom sector state enterprises will be reorganized as asset investment firms, and these enterprises will be required to operate like private companies to maximize profits, hire managers, and list on stock exchanges.
China's plan in September 2015 to reorganize its state owned enterprises in key sectors as state owned asset management firms with minority private investors and operating to maximize profits
09/14/2015
Energy, resources and telecom sectors will be taken up to create new entities that operate like private companies to maximize profits, hire managers at market rates, and take on private investors. The state will continue to maintain its ownership but require the companies to operate and compete similar to private firms. After intense discussion the Singapore model at Temasek is accepted upto a point, the senior management will still be appointed by the Chinese government. The current plan reflects the experience of Chinese president Xi Jinping in Zhejiang province and Shanghai where the private component in a state enterprise provided vigor to the enterprise. Movement is slow because of competing views within the Communist Party and Sasac, the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

China's stalling economy and productivity growth- the need for new direction in 2013-2015
03/06/2012
Bloomberg estimates show every one dollar of new credit created now yields about 17 cents in GDP growth as old polices of state led growth are no longer working. This compares to over 83 cents in 2007. Financial repression by reducing interest rates for savers is further depressing consumer spending when it is most needed to rebalance the economy towards domestic consumption.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
