First of all, the difference between state-owned enterprises and central enterprises: these two concepts are intertwined. First of all, state-owned enterprises are enterprises established by the state as the theme of investment.
State-owned enterprises refer to enterprises that are directly invested and managed by the state and have the ownership or control of enterprises. According to the authority of state-owned assets management, state-owned enterprises are divided into central enterprises (centrally managed state-owned enterprises) and local enterprises (locally managed state-owned enterprises).
Up to now, there are more than 60 central enterprises in China. The concept of state-owned enterprises is relatively broad. All enterprises with government investors are basically called state-owned enterprises, and state-owned enterprises are managed by governments at all levels accordingly.
Extended data:
As the central enterprises are enterprises at the central level, it shows that they affect the national economy and national security to a certain extent, especially some enterprises that have great influence on the development of the national economy, which are usually directly managed by the State Council.
Many people say that central enterprises are enterprises supervised and managed by SASAC, but this is only a narrow definition. In addition to the enterprises controlled and managed by SASAC the State Council, the five state-owned banks controlled by CBRC also belong to the central enterprises.
There are also some enterprises managed by the CIRC and the CSRC. In addition, some enterprises managed by other departments in the State Council also belong to central enterprises, such as 12306 railway passenger and freight transportation, which is a very representative enterprise among central enterprises.
Of course, many government units will also invest in some private enterprises now, but if the proportion of government investment is not high, this private enterprise will not become a state-owned enterprise.
