Who are they? What kind of suffering and glory did they have in the past? Where will their future go? And why are they being questioned now?
As an important part of China's economic reform, the reform of state-owned enterprises has been proceeding in a stumbling manner over the past ten years. People once had good intentions and longings for them, but they have become more and more "deviated" in people's expectations. Nowadays, on the one hand, state-owned enterprises continue to grow bigger and stronger and have become "giants" in the industry, but they have also fallen into the wave of criticism for monopolizing and competing for profits with the people; on the other hand, they are still the last force to ensure economic sovereignty, competing with multinational groups on the international stage. In the face of state-owned enterprises, general criticism or praise is inappropriate. So, how should we view state-owned enterprises? Where will the reform of state-owned enterprises go in the future?
The author of "Big State-owned Enterprises: The Stormy Sixty Years of the "Eldest Sons" of the Republic" uses years of in-depth observation and sample research, starting from history and reality, tracing the past, present and reform paths of state-owned enterprises, reproducing their historical mission and practical value, and analyzing the way out and future of state-owned enterprises in the era of great economic changes from a unique perspective.
Reader comments
I like the case analysis of different companies in the book, which feels very real and inspiring. This reminds me of the book "Thirty Years of Turbulence". They both discuss the development of China's economy. Moreover, I think the views in the book are very objective and are not force-fed, allowing people to think for themselves. All in all, this is a great book worth reading!
The point of view is clear and the narrative is smooth, giving readers very good knowledge.
