Re: Who owns and rules China?

Dear Alan,

    I really don't know about China, but what you stated about vietnamese
companies is a fact.

    According to my perception, the process started when the state owned
companies need more flexibility to survive. Essentially, there are two
forms of the state owned companies: "intimate privatization" of a state
ownned company and a private company that has a state owned label.

   There are differences between these two types even they have the same
label.

   I don't really know what is the future of these companies in terms of
" Who owns ...". It might be a good topics for research. As far as I know
there are not so much research done in this topics. So I am also
interested in that question not specifically concerning China.

With my best regards
