Outline of Final Research Achievements

There has been a lot of confusion about the role that the executives of Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOE) play in the Chinese political system - are they they independent profit-oriented actors or are they they the executors of official policies both domestically and overseas.
The project has analyzed how economic elite mobility between the Chinese party-state and Chinese business entities has been utilized by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in its strategy to improve state capacity, specifically to govern SOE system-related matters, and also to stabilize the regime by incorporating the economic elites (not also from SOEs but also private companies) into the party-state system (co-optation strategy).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

This research exposes how the nexus between the party-state and business in China has contributed to the stability of the single-party regime. It also enhances our understanding of how to evaluate Chinese SOE activities overseas and better understand private business relations with the party-state.
