China Gezhouba Group is a state-owned enterprise in China, not a central enterprise. State-owned enterprises refer to enterprises invested by the state or local governments, and their business objectives are to provide products and services to the society and promote the development of the national economy. Central enterprises refer to large state-owned enterprises directly invested and managed by the central government, which usually involve the lifeline of the national economy and strategic industries.

China Gezhouba Group was founded in 1970, formerly known as Gezhouba Water Control Project Headquarters, and later developed into a large enterprise group focusing on construction engineering, electric power, real estate and cement production. Although China Gezhouba Group is a state-owned enterprise, it is not directly subordinate to the central government, but managed by local governments. Therefore, China Gezhouba Group is classified as a local state-owned enterprise, not a central enterprise.
