Much is written about the various efforts aimed at reforming China’ s state-owned enterprises. But in all this literature the Chinese government’ s determined effort to use the equity capital markets as a tool of enterprise reform has been virtually ignored. The fact is that during the past decade this has been, and will continue to be, the principal thrust with regard to the reform of state-owned enterprises. On-again, off-again, noises about bankruptcy, M& A solutions and asset management companies are only sideshows in the process. Carl E.
