Mutant Dinosaurs or Adaptive Hybrids?
from Part I - Different Types of Chinese Corporate Ecosystem
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 July 2022
This chapter shows that state-owned enterprises (SOEs) still play a major role within the Chinese corporate ecosystem, but even after a long period of reforms, they are still plagued by skewed government incentives leading to irrational investment decisions, huge waste of resources, and widespread defiance of central government regulations. The chapter includes case studies of the coal and power sectors to demonstrate the unholy "tripartite" relationship among SOEs, local government officials, and corrupt central regulators, all engaging in rent-seeking activities in their own vested interests. Current reform programs fail to address these key defects.
