ABOUT THE BOOK
China Inc. provides an objective narrative of significant aspects of the role of Chinese SOEs in China´s rise and of the contradictions within. The re-emergence of the country vast SOEs has a strong correlation with China´s rise. The re-emphasis on statisation of the economy under SOE leadership underlines something more – the consolidation of state authority. SOEs have helped the Communist Party of China (CPC) to consolidate its legacy domestically. Using primary data and case studies, the volume takes a granular look at the relationship between Chinese State and SOEs and attempts to answer server key questions: what are the key characteristics of State Capitalism in China? How different is state capitalism or market socialism from elsewhere? Why did the Chinese version of capitalism of market socialist not fail like East European examples? How much state funding do China´s SOEs receive? How extensive is government ownership, and who runs these enterprises? How do SOEs manage Chinese wealth? What are the differences between different SOEs at the Centre and their subsidiaries in the provinces? How do SOEs compete with each other and how are they gaining from China´s public-private partnership models? Finally, how do these developments contribute to China´s grand strategic vision abroad? Who are the main players and how does Chinese economic statecraft unfold as part of its Belt and Road Initiative?
